I'm Qian Yaoyao, the least favored legitimate daughter in the prime minister's household. My father dotes on his concubine-born children and acts as if I don't exist. Even the household servants can bully me whenever they please.
But there's also Su Zhao, a hostage sent to the prime minister's household by the State of Ping!
His life is no better than mine, and is actually far worse. Somehow, that makes me feel a little more at ease.
Maybe it's because we're in the same boat, but he's my only friend in the household.
He's cold and doesn't like talking to me, but otherwise there's nothing wrong with him. Still, I love clinging to him.
At least then I don't feel so alone.
Until one day, people from the State of Ping came to take him away.
