Description
Two years since the establishment of King Jinheung's reign, the young king orders the rejuvenation of the "wonhwa" ("original flowers") system as a means to pick the perfect bride. Despite having been against the system in the past, he feels it necessary in order for him to declare a queen. However, voices of concern around the palace arise as his subjects worry history is about to repeat itself. Meanwhile, Lady Jade, daughter of Marquess Moon, is both thrilled and terrified to have been chosen by the king as one of his "wonhwa"'s. And she knows she will need to fight to survive - even if it means pushing aside her best friend Lady Grace. But Jade has a rough start and finds herself in grave danger within the palace. The palace turns out to be a more life-threatening place than Jade ever imagined as she, together with the king, unravels the mystery of Princess Sookmyung's disappearance all the while striving to stay alive. *Read my sequel: A Lush Affair!*
