As if by fate or luck, or maybe the simple strangeness of an encounter, Ying Yun was bound; a simple contract with a simple clause to pretend to be a blind concubine. Yet despite the glimmering gold and the false adoration that defined her every step, the misgivings of intrigue could never be erased from her mind nor could the treacheries of the imperial palace. Every word a dagger and every movement invoking potential death, Ying Yun not only discovers clues of corruption, but clues of her bitter past. Greed, truth and an undeniable love. In the end, which one will she choose?
