A Song That Conquers the Frontier

Shen Qingxian, a courtesan dancer at the Directorate of Music and a disgraced minister's daughter, is cautious in all things and asks only to survive. After her breathtaking dance at a palace banquet, the cold-faced Duke of Zhenguo, Pei Yan, selects her on the spot and takes her into his residence. She expects to sink into an even deeper mire, but discovers that this powerful official, so distant from all human feeling, is secretly helping her clear her name and keeping her safe. But the old case against her father has repercussions throughout the court. Every time he protects her, someone else tries to kill her. Then she discovers that her father was among those he had executed. Is he trying to atone, or is he setting an even bigger scheme in motion?
