Starcrossed

A Mo Yuan/Bai Qian story in an Alternate Universe.

Bai Qian, a Princess of the Empire, made it her life goal to get in to The Institute. It is the most prestigious school in the world and is where all the world's elite and ruling class got their training. This highly private and secretive school only opens for admission once every 4 years and had very limited slots available. Each spot in the accepted list was highly sought after.
But The Institute is not what it seems. It held secrets that no one else but the alumni were privy to. Should one of them diverge this information to others, they would surely meet an untimely death.
Bai Qian would do everything to get in because it's been her dream ever since she was little girl. At least, that's what she and her family told everyone. But in truth, she and her siblings had a different reason - it was the first step to finding justice.

This is a story of family duty, friendship, loyalty, and love. What happens when those don't necessarily go hand in hand?

Notes: This is set in a Red Rising type universe minus space and minus the color caste system.
