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.
