"She's beautiful..."
"Too bold. Look how she carries herself."
"Not a shred of fear."
"Another girl for His Majesty to forget in a month."
Born as the daughter of a disgraced general, Fei Zhenrou was raised in secret after her father was executed for treason. When a mysterious decree from the Emperor brings her into the palace as a low-ranking concubine, no one expects her to survive more than a few months in the silken trap of the Inner Court. But Zhenrou is not what she seems.
Behind her gentle façade hides a woman trained in espionage, warcraft, seduction, and survival. As she navigates assassinations, political schemes, and romantic entanglements, she must use all of her identities-warrior, courtesan, scholar, and spy-to rise through the ranks and uncover the truth behind her father's betrayal.
And perhaps, to seduce the cold-hearted Emperor who holds both her fate-and his heart-in his hands.
