From running away from a political marriage to a life of hardship and exile in a foreign land, she finds that in all the vast world, there is nowhere she can call home.
Everyone says she is beautiful and delicate, adrift like a duckweed, a pawn for others to manipulate. Only she knows that beneath her appearance, she has never been meek. What she seeks is not dependence or security, but to break free from the shackles of fate with her own hands, make her own moves, and decide her own destiny.
Content warning:
1V4 romance. None of the main or supporting characters are perfect.
The heroine acts weak while hiding her strength, and everyone is scheming.
