Description:

To the country she was born to, she is Princess Le-anne, bastard child of the king. To the empire she is sold to, she is Lady Wei Li Lian... the traitorous spy. 

But who is she really? 

A beauty within her own right, all she ever wanted was a peaceful, ordinary life, maybe exploring and traveling the different lands while she was at it. But when she accidentally caught the eagle eye of her estranged royal father, he saw the potential in her and quickly made plans of his own for her.

She was given a single mission: seduce the emperor of the enemy nation of Nevoria and become his empress for the betterment of her own country. Simple, right? She only had to train and excel at everything from an early age. Then once reaching the proper age, make her way through Nevorian court, all the while dodging the vipers of the harem, sending secret missives to her nation, scheming her way to the throne, etc. It was as easy as that.

But why didn't anyone warn her how difficult it would be to deal with the enigmatic emperor? They can't go a single day without one triumphing over the other in every sense. All that she had prepared and trained for flew out of the window whenever she stared into those pair of flirtatious, amused eyes that masked the cold, sinister intention behind them. Was it too late to back out now?

I'm very amazed and impressed with this work; the author put so much thought and detail into it. Whether it's how many names a slave or nobleman is allowed to have or the traditional way to honor an Emperor—the author has created a world rich with its own culture and life.

The MC is strong and beautiful, but she's not overpowered to the point where she can beat all the big, bad villains right away when she has just settled into her new life. I have a feeling she's only going to learn and become more powerful from there but with her own abilities—not because of plot armor or the secret powers that all MCs have. She's respectable and someone you can cheer for since she's not about revenge or just pushing others down.

The Emperor only just showed up so I don't know much about him yet—his backstory did look interesting though. But there was this other male lead that was kind of hot. I think many girls that look forward to the romance in a book might like this.

I definitely recommend reading this. So far, it's not that well known because it was just recently published, and it's the author's first novel on Wattpad but if we go read it now, we can all boast about being some of the first readers when it has 100k+ reads a year from now.
