Description
"You made the wrong move, and have lost the game," She mocked, "You are no more than his shadow, and will never win her heart or the throne." "You are wrong," He hissed, leaning in to whisper in her ear, his hand twitched against her throat, "He is nothing! I will crush him, and reclaim everything that is rightfully mine." ---------------------------------------- Like her parents before her, all Liu Rushi ever wanted was to live happily with her family and find a love of her own. Born and raised in the small town of Hengzou, she could not imagine how an invitation from her Aunt would shatter her dreams of a simple life and thrust her into endless schemes for passion, power and control of the Forbidden City.
