Chapter 1: A Wish Came True

The sixteen-year-old imperial consort is hopelessly in love with the young, impossibly charming captain of the imperial guards. Determined to be near him, she hatches a wildly reckless plan to escape the palace-only to end up in his household, where everyone treats her like family. Every day, she falls harder for him, but there's one problem: he only sees her as his little sister.

Refusing to be stuck in that role, she sets out to make him see her as a woman, a partner, a lover.

This is a tale of forbidden love, political intrigue, and one girl's refusal to accept the role the world assigned her.
