Khym was the kind of girl who could make anyone smile. With her cheerful personality, caring heart, and bright spirit, she seemed to have everything figured out. She loved helping others, spreading happiness, and making the people around her feel loved. But behind that beautiful smile was a heart that had once been broken by loss. Now, Khym finds herself on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and unexpected love. Just when she thought her heart would never be whole again, someone comes into her life and makes her question everything she believed about love. Can she learn to open her heart once more? Can she finally let go of the pain from her past? And most importantly... can she find someone who will stay, understand her scars, and love her completely? Sometimes, love finds us when we're not looking for it. And sometimes, the person who helps us heal is the one we never expected.

With those imperial order, Marga, the Empress' niece, is forced into the empire as the new-- and only-- chosen Empress. And so they thought Marga is a mere hooligan too naive to be tangled in the silken wars of the court, a thorn will always prick the hand that dares to carry the flower it tangles with. Emperor Balzar thought she'd be another pawn. Marga thought he'd be easy to fool. He is a master of control. She is the chaos. Who tries to press over the thorn's tip shall be ready for the blood to drip. This union will either forge a reign aligned, or ignite a ruin no throne can ever bind.
