The Peerless Merchant Woman

A dynasty falls. Smoke rises everywhere, and the people are plunged into misery. A savior is born. The former dynasty's chancellor is reduced to a commoner, unable to escape the hand of fate. The former dynasty's chancellor's daughter is reduced to an ordinary citizen. She farms and trades, gifted beyond measure. The former dynasty's guard is reduced to a cook. He opens a restaurant and gathers intelligence. The former dynasty's princess is reduced to an assassin. She hides in the night markets, waiting for her moment... A new dynasty rises, and the people recover. A young lord of the dynasty acts carefree, but carries deep wounds. He hides his inner pain beneath an outward show of splendor. What can heal him? Then he meets her. A general of the dynasty is brilliant and undefeated in a hundred battles, yet even he faces things he cannot change. A prince of the dynasty has been raised in comfort, but he too has someone he longs for. A top scholar of the dynasty is learned and eloquent, with dreams of his own that he strives to realize... Hidden talents and ambitions lie everywhere, all waiting for the right moment.
