The Emperor's Shadow

This novel features a heroine disguised as a man and plenty of handsome men. Watch as the stunning Chu Ge takes on a male identity, makes a name for herself in the martial world, and tops the imperial examinations. As a mysterious shadow emperor who holds the fate of the realm in her hands and shoulders the world’s burdens, she never expected that her hidden origins would entangle her in even more unresolved grudges. A refined scholar falls deeper and deeper in love; an emperor leaves the empress’s seat empty forever; a cold-blooded assassin guards her with unwavering loyalty; a bewitching beauty gives her heart to the wrong person; and an emotionless physician falls in love at first sight. Like an immortal, like a demon; righteous, yet wicked. There is only one Chu Ge in all the world.
