In the flickering shadows of 1900s Jin-Ling, Li Anmei is a woman drowning in debt and desperation. A single, feverish night spent with a mysterious, commanding stranger—the feared General Yan Wu-Ji—was supposed to be a shameful secret she’d take to her grave.
Suddenly when the Royal Military arrives at her doorstep, they don't bring handcuffs; they bring a marriage contract. To save her family from ruin, Anmei is sold into a blind political union with the reclusive Emperor Sheng-Zun.
Anmei is never to look upon the Emperor’s face until the wedding night, as he is rumored to be hideously scarred or cursed. She spends her engagement in a state of mourning, dreading the moment she must submit to a monstrous ruler while her heart remains captive to the memory of the General who touched her with such dark, possessive intensity.
