Matchmaking Maddness (Apothecary Diaries)

Matchmaking Madness - Volume 1
In the treacherous world of the Inner Court, even marriage can become a battlefield.
When the Emperor decrees that the brilliant yet dangerously independent daughter of General Lakan must be formally acknowledged as a princess, a carefully calculated chain of events is set into motion. What begins as a political arrangement soon becomes a subtle contest of strategy, influence, and quiet rebellion.
Caught between imperial command and his own guarded paternal instincts, Lakan is forced into a game he did not choose - one where every move could determine his daughter's future.
Meanwhile, the Moon Prince stands at the centre of the court's attention, admired for his elegance yet underestimated in ways that may prove perilous for everyone involved.
As factions stir behind painted screens and unseen hands guide the board, one truth becomes increasingly clear:
In the palace, even love can be weaponised.
And some matches are arranged not to unite... but to control.
