   Summary

   When her father told Gyokuyou that she would go to the Imperial Palace to become one of the Emperor's concubines, she knew her life would no longer be her own. His father never hid his ambition from her and didn't wait long to send her to the Inner Court.

   And yet, the more attention she received in the Inner Court, the more Gyokuyou hoped that things could be different for her. That there was a way for her to live a life she could be proud of, without losing herself to the jealousy and selfishness of the Imperial Palace.
