Ye Yunyao was an ordinary commoner, but because she bore some resemblance to the Princess of Beiliang, she was seized and kept in the imperial palace as a substitute.
After several failed attempts to escape, Ye Yunyao thought she would spend the rest of her life trapped in the palace. But then an enemy nation invaded, and the prosperous imperial capital fell overnight.
She was treated as a princess and offered to the Empress of Great Yan as a spoil of war.
Rumor had it that the Empress of Great Yan, Luo Qianxue, ruled through force and was utterly ruthless. Just as Ye Yunyao feared she would suffer unimaginable torment, she was unexpectedly confined to the harem once more.
She couldn't understand what this meant, until the peerlessly beautiful woman appeared in her room, dressed in red. She hooked a finger under Ye Yunyao's chin and smiled seductively.
"Empress, I've come all this way. Why haven't you attended to me in bed?"
