Pain! Pain! Excruciating pain! And the agony of betrayal! That's all she felt, that's all she could think of. Her once beautiful and soulful eyes now dead, replaced with tears of blood. Her heart-once warm and beating-cut open, now turned to stone. Her mind, body, and soul had died in the fire which consumed and reshaped her. Her heart bled, her eyes bled, her mouth bled-they all bled blood. Her heart, once betrayed by love, closed off to love with only one feeling keeping it alive: hatred-extreme hatred. Never to love again. Betrayed, stabbed, injured, torn apart-she experienced it all. But... now given a second chance to change everything, she swore to make those who caused her to lose everything burn down with her in her heart of flames. And then he said to her, "You want to burn them all? I'll be the spark to your flames. We will burn them all together in your heart of flames."

Shisan, a skilled spy from Great Dai, has trained as a noble lady to infiltrate the neighboring country Great Yan. She assumes the identity of Third Young Lady Wei, Wei Yanyue, with the mission to gain entry into the Emperor's harem, become his favorite consort, gain his trust, send vital information back to her country, and bring the Emperor down. She trained her whole life to ruin an empire. She never planned to fall for the man who ruled it. As she navigates the complexities of palace life, she finds herself torn between her duty and her growing feelings for the Emperor. "Can Shisan maintain her cover...?" "Will she complete her mission or surrender to the man she swore to destroy?" The Imperial Game becomes a delicate balancing act between loyalty, duty, and love. I hope you enjoy my book.
