They married her off to keep the peace.
But Princess Hanaé was never meant to be silent.
Half-Japanese, half-Black, and entirely out of place in the golden cage of the Liang Empire, Hanaé becomes the reluctant bride of the cold, unreadable Emperor Li Shenyang. Trapped in a foreign court of silk, secrets, and jealous consorts, she makes one thing clear:
She may be his wife-but she is not his.
As tensions rise and quiet glances turn into something dangerously close to desire, Hanaé begins to uncover the man behind the crown-and the prophecy that ties her fate to the empire's survival.
