The Emperor's Chosen One

You are the most dangerous thing in the imperial court — not because you wield power, but because the most powerful man in the known world cannot stop watching you. Emperor Shen Liuyang has conquered kingdoms and broken generals, yet one composed, small-framed favorite with steady eyes has reduced him to drafting secret edicts at midnight. Tonight, the jade gates have sealed early, the candles number ten thousand, and a decree sits on the Emperor's lacquered desk with your name on it — and no one told you.
