The Night She Did Not Die

On the night Pei Wanning decides she no longer wants to live, the fireworks outside her window split the sky open. And when she opens her eyes again, she is no longer herself. Now trapped in the body of a forgotten concubine's daughter, Wanning is thrown into a world where affection is dangerous, power is everything, and survival belongs only to those willing to stain their hands red. In the shadows of the imperial palace, servants disappear without explanation, noblewomen hide venom behind painted smiles, and even the most beautiful love stories end in blood. But the most terrifying part is not the palace itself. But the feeling that she's seen all of this before. The prince's gaze that lingers too long. The commander she can't to escape. The faces feel painfully familiar. The memories that do not belong to her. As Wanning rises through a court built on cruelty and obsession, the line between dream and reality slowly begins to fracture-and somewhere beneath the lantern light and falling snow, something in the palace seems to be watching her back.
