This is the story of a woman in a lonely, secluded palace.
She watched the tides rise and fall, the flowers bloom and fade, as the twists and turns of life never ceased.
She fought and struggled, and she loved, too. But she grew tired. This life had no meaning, because to her, it was simply a spring dream that she had always known would end in emptiness.
Dynasties rise and fall. Women are merely pieces on a chessboard, manipulated by others at will.
So she decided to set herself free.
She wished only to adorn her hair with camellias, then leave.
Please note before reading: This is not a wish-fulfillment novel. It has a tragic ending, and none of the characters are pure-hearted innocents. It contains extensive criticism and discussion.
