Blood in the Imperial Palace

She had been nothing but a pawn, only to be shoved off a cliff by the man she loved just as she was about to bring down a dynasty.

Two years later, the fickle, ungrateful prince had become a ruler with power over the realm. The late emperor’s most beloved son had become a prince who idled among the pleasure houses.

Unwilling to accept the deception, she went undercover in the palace. Among three thousand beauties, every one was a deadly flower. Their smiles were sweet, their words gentle, but each hid a blade. Beneath the surface, currents surged. As the beauties rose and fell, she fought the concubines with ruthless cunning and matched wits with powerful ministers.

-

A lovestruck palace maid, a faithless lover: a dream of the mortal world, and the grief of a lost pearl.

Beauty in bloom, beauty in sorrow.

The palace is shrouded in intrigue and strife.

Half a lifetime spent as a pawn, a beauty’s scheme: war drums thunder, and the world is turned upside down.

The realm is lightly prized, but beauty is dear.

Who says, “If I had you, I would never look at another”?

A proud, handsome demon emperor, a cold and domineering scheming prince, and a vengeful beauty who infiltrates the imperial palace: together, they bring you a brutal, passionate tale of palace intrigue.
