Читать книгу The Lotus Palace - Jeannie Lin - Страница 2

It is a time of celebration in the Pingkang li, where imperial scholars and bureaucrats mingle with beautiful courtesans. At the center is the Lotus Palace, home of the most exquisite courtesans in China…

Maidservant Yue-ying is not one of those beauties.

Street-smart and practical, she’s content to live in the

shadow of her infamous mistress—until she meets the

aristocratic playboy Bai Huang.

Bai Huang lives in a privileged world Yue-ying can barely

imagine, let alone share, but as they are thrown together

in an attempt to solve a deadly mystery, they both start to

dream of a different life. Yet Bai Huang’s position means

that all she could ever be to him is his concubine—

will she sacrifice her pride to follow her heart?
