The Beggar Empress

Her name was Qing Luan. As an infant, she was abandoned by her father amid the chaos of war. She and her mother survived by sheer luck and made their living begging. But when she was eight, her mother, her only family, died, and Qing Luan was sold into a brothel. She thought this was to be her fate for the rest of her life, until her uncle found her and took her back... Once reunited with her father, she faced the cruelty of her stepmother, her sister's schemes, and her father's indifference... Would this frail, orphaned girl meekly submit, fight back, or find another way to deal with it all?
