Ripples Behind Vermilion Gates

The second daughter of the Prime Minister married a Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and had children. Beneath the appearance of a happy marriage, however, turbulent undercurrents were already at work. Her husband, who had been abstinent for years, was secretly keeping a mistress and an illegitimate child outside the city. When the truth tore off its mask, the betrayed wife refused to drown in her grief. With the means and determination of a Prime Minister's daughter, she navigated family pressure and the undercurrents of court politics, transforming herself from a sheltered wife into a woman of power amid the turmoil of her marriage.
