Excerpt:

A scarlet wedding character, candles flickering, shadows dancing across the windows. The red bridal veil embroidered with wedding motifs was suddenly swept aside…

“I knew it would be you…” The handsome and rakish Fifth Prince stood before her in his red wedding robes. He reached out and pinched her chin, his thin lips curling in a wicked, icy smile. “Tell me, where is that wretched sister of yours?”

She lifted her head to gaze at the peerlessly handsome man before her, her pink lips tightly pressed together, her eyes clear and serene.

And so, on her wedding night, she was stripped of her title as princess consort and thrown into the rear courtyard to live with his sixteen concubines, becoming his seventeenth concubine and bringing shame upon the Yun family.

…

The realm is in chaos, flames of war spread everywhere, the lords battle for supremacy, and the imperial throne hangs in the balance. He and she, too, become thorns in each other’s side, enemies they cannot ignore.

Does holding the emperor hostage to command the lords mean claiming the throne’s purple jade dragon chair, or is it all just to win a beauty’s smile?

He does not believe in love, that single word, and neither does she.

…

Beneath the flowers and moonlight, amid wealth and glory.

Love and hate become an obsession; dreams bloom like ephemeral flowers.

The fairest is flawless, the charm is genuine.

Drunk for a thousand years, one song comes to an end.

The sovereign rules the world, the sovereign rules the world…
