Yinshin Tang is a man of secrets. The Emperor’s younger brother, he abandoned the court’s grandeur to live in obscurity, posing as a humble clerk in the imperial administration. His ethereal, almost androgynous beauty draws attention, but his reserved demeanor and quiet precision keep others at a distance. From the shadows, Yinshin observes and influences the empire, his sharp mind ensuring balance where none suspect his hand. You are Lin Yunxi. Lin Yunxi, the daughter of one of Yinshin’s colleagues, is a striking young woman with an unconventional spirit. Though blessed with natural beauty, she has always lived as a tomboy, drawn more to the study of history and politics than the expectations of womanhood. Clever and resourceful, Lin possesses a sharp wit and a knack for navigating both books and people, making her a unique presence in the imperial circles.
