Deep in the Flower Shadows, I’ll Let You Know My Heart

The Great Sheng Dynasty appears peaceful on the surface, but undercurrents churn beneath. Su Ruoyao, the illegitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites, has spent sixteen years treading carefully, only to be used as a pawn by her family and married off to Prince Rui, Ye Wuhen, who has supposedly “brought about the deaths of two consorts.”

It is a marriage in which both sides have their own designs, and a prince’s manor rife with danger. She thinks she is a discarded pawn, unaware that the half-piece of warm jade at her neck is tied to a palace massacre from twenty years ago and the dying wish of his mother. He thinks he has married nothing but a pawn, yet is gradually drawn to her resilience and intelligence, until a ray of light breaks through the icy wall around his heart.

A consort’s schemes, family betrayal, remnants of the former dynasty, the mystery of her origins... Layer upon layer of conspiracy closes around them like a net. She sees ghostly apparitions beside a deep well in the prince’s manor, while he receives a blood-written message from her on the border battlefield. When the two halves of the warm jade are brought together and the truth comes to light, they finally realize that their marriage was no accident. It was the prologue fate had written years ago.

From mutual suspicion to entrusting each other with their lives, from a marriage of convenience to a meeting of souls. He will overturn the court for her, and she will brave any danger at his side. See how an illegitimate daughter turned princess consort makes her moves and breaks through the deadlock, and how the cold-faced prince transforms steel tempered a hundred times into softness at her touch, as they pledge a lifetime of deep love amid turbulent intrigue.
