An emperor reduced to a slave in someone's palm, a canary in a gilded cage.
Chains shackled her tiny feet as she huddled in a cold corner.
Yet she still couldn't escape inhuman abuse.

This is a gender-bender novel, with Stockholm syndrome, an abused protagonist, and a depressing-yet-healing story.
