ОглавлениеIt 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?
