She was the emperor's beloved concubine, the cherished love of a founding statesman, and the white jasmine of a neighboring prince's dreams, sought after time and time again. That year, on the windswept branches, petals rained down across the ground. A thousand-tiered palace and countless pavilions came crashing down. Like a rootless duckweed, fate swept her from place to place. Years later, who would dance that breathtaking dance atop the magnificent palace complex, and whom would she drag with her to the underworld, bound together until death?
