    Summary

    Before canon ever began, the future of the Empire of Li had already been quietly decided.

    Crown Prince Ka Zuigetsu has been promised since childhood to Maomao, the brilliant Princess of the La Clan whose greatest passion is poisons, medicine, and asking far too many dangerous questions. What began with a handful of "stolen" flowers and one reckless promise slowly grows into a lifelong bond built on unwavering trust, shared secrets, and a love that neither politics nor time can weaken.

    But the Imperial Court is never kind to those who stand at its centre.

    As conspiracies spread through the Rear Palace, old enemies emerge from the shadows, and the Ghost Market begins pulling unseen strings, Zuigetsu and Maomao must protect not only each other, but the future of the Empire itself.

    After all...

    If they cannot stand together—

    there may be no Empire left to save.
