New book! New book! New book! The rating hasn’t had a chance to climb yet.
Yun Jin is the most unremarkable servant girl in the harem of the Qian Kun Dynasty. She entered the palace at seven and went unnoticed for twelve years. She thought her life was simply about staying alive, until one day she realized that a casual remark of hers had caused two nobles to die at the same time, while a letter she happened to pick up had toppled the Crown Prince’s Eastern Palace. More frightening still, every one of her “mistakes” had precisely killed someone who wanted her dead.
She isn’t a pawn. She is the variable in a game of chess, fought over by everyone and truly controlled by no one. When she finally sees that the secret she carries could overturn the imperial throne, she decides to make every player beg on their knees for her to make a move.
