"i love you. good night. sweet dream. sweetheart." i didn't receive any of them that night. book one of TIME series

In the heart of Jinghua, the glittering capital of the Mingxuan Empire, seventeen-year-old Lian Yuerong walks the narrow line between duty and desire. Born the daughter of the Empire's most formidable general, she possesses a sharp mind, a steady hand, and a quiet intensity that unsettles ministers and battlefield veterans alike. Whispers follow her through palace halls-some predicting she'll be bartered into a political marriage, others dreaming she might one day command armies. Yuerong dismisses both with equal irritation. In a world that demands obedience, Yuerong must decide which threads of her life to cut... and which to hold tightly beneath the moonlit sky.
