The Beauty of the City’s Lament

A political marriage sets off a bloody struggle for the throne. A brightly worded imperial edict sends her to the side of that man, and from then on, who is she willing to risk her life for? He marries her only because she is the daughter of a general who commands a powerful army, not for love. She gives up the man she admires and marries him not to become empress one day, but simply to keep her entire Nalan family safe. Their marriage began as a way for each to exploit the other for their own benefit. They were not supposed to fall in love, yet they did. Is this love or hate, fate or a curse? Was this long, tangled, impossible-to-break bond destined from the very beginning? Watch as heroes contend for dominion over the realm, and witness a love story about choosing one person from among thousands, through love, hatred, jealousy, and passion!
