Chapter 19 Ruilin~ “Father said you were to stay put until Princess Changying emerges from seclusion,” Feng Ming said casually, nudging pebbles with his foot and nudging my temper with his words. “But isn’t it odd she hasn’t contacted you directly after her trial and instead sent an impersonal messenger?

Chapter 16 Yi Nuo~ I’ve lost my purpose? This matter preyed on my mind lately, creeping into my thoughts unbidden no matter how often I pushed it away. If Mother Abbess were here by my side, she’d tell me to share my gifts of which she thought I had many with everyone I meet, but […]

Chapter 14 Ruilin~ There comes a time when granting someone their space is no longer kindness, but rings of cold indifference.

Chapter 12 Yi Nuo~ A soft but unyielding hand was persistently patting my arm, pulling me from the depths of unconsciousness. Was it Abbess Mother summoning me to morning prayers?

Chapter 11 Third Grand Prince Hongshi~ Dove trees, heavy with heart-shaped leaves and clusters of red blossoms, surrounded the gazebo at the heart of the imperial garden.
