She ran from the palace to reclaim her freedom-only to fall into the hands of the one man who refuses to let her go. After escaping the glittering dangers of the Forbidden City, Liu Rushi wants nothing more than to rebuild her quiet life and forget the heartbreak she left behind. But the past has sharp claws, and the shadows of the Capital are never far behind. When Rushi is taken by a man whose power rivals the throne itself, she finds herself drawn into a new kind of struggle-one fueled by danger, obsession, and a connection she never expected. His intentions are unclear. His loyalties even less so. But one thing is certain: He does not intend to let her slip away again. As old alliances crumble and hidden ambitions rise, Rushi must decide whether she will fight her fate... or face the truth about the man who now holds her life in his hands. WHAT TO EXPECT: • Morally gray love interest × captured heroine • Slow-burn tension, emotional complexity, enemies-to-lovers seeds • Political intrigue deepening beyond the palace walls • Secrets, betrayals, and shifting loyalties • High emotional stakes and dramatic confrontations • No explicit content, but mature themes and dark tension DISCLAIMERS: This is my original work; any resemblance to other stories is coincidental.

I'm an enthusiastic amateur writer; spelling, grammar, and punctuation aren't my strongest skills, so thank you for your patience with any errors or inconsistencies. CONTENT WARNING: No explicit scenes, but the story includes mature themes, emotional tension, political intrigue, and plenty of dramatic, angsty goodness.

WHAT TO EXPECT: • Ancient Chinese-inspired palace intrigue • Two rival princes with complex motives • A heroine forced into political games • Slow-burn romance • tension • longing • Betrayals, secrets, shifting alliances • Dramatic confrontations and angsty twists • Family mysteries and emotional stakes • No explicit content, but mature themes • A story trilogy with reveals and surprises DISCLAIMERS: This is my original work; any resemblance to other stories is coincidental.
