“Who are you?” a stern voice demands, as a razor-sharp flexible blade presses against her neck.
Mistaken for an assassin!...
She barely manages to escape, only to leap from the frying pan into the fire.

Sent into the palace to become empress, she discovers that the emperor is the beggar leader...
She’s stunned! She tries to escape again, only to be accused of “assassination” once more...
Making the best of a bad situation, she stays in the palace and thrives...
“Your Majesty, I wish to see the emperor.”
“Certainly. Pay up!”
“Hee-hee! I’d be a fool to turn down free money.”
“Take my life if you must, but don’t touch my money!”
Once again, everyone is stunned!
After she unexpectedly saves the emperor, he falls for her! But winning her heart is a long road. There are rivals in love, and a looming crisis to resolve. As they join forces to face the palace’s dangers, their feelings for each other grow, while the mastermind behind it all gradually reveals himself.
