Ancient China. Ruled by the emperor who had many talented Chinese beauties beside him. The palace is full of luxurious schemes against family, intended to kill, to ruin. What if... a foreigner makes her way into the palace? Xue Wa doesn't have a single drop of Chinese blood flowing through her veins. She comes from Europe, blonde-haired, blue eyed, and snow-white skin. She was found abandoned in front of her current adopted family home as a baby, taken in by her barren adopted mother, and raised rich with a powerful title. Her name, given by her adoptive parents even translates to 'snow doll' which justifies her looks. An innocent foreigner, only fifteen, destined for something entirely different, is taken from her culture and native land to another world. Another world too harsh for her. Her looks attract too much attention. Her talent is too little. Her soul is too innocent. What will become of her?
