This spring, an imperial edict has been issued, just like it does every year. Young women from all over the empire are houled together and brought to the imperial palace, to become concubines of the Emperor, as is Wei Yin. Wei Yin is first and only granddaughter of the late General of the West, and is acquainted with strategies and warfare, her knowledge could mean her survival in the palace... But due to the loss of her brother and her only friends, she locks herself in her room, only coming out for boozze, which results in excessive drinking. Then she's sent to the imperial palace, to become the Emperor's concubine, together with fifty other girls... and she stirs up quite the commotion... being drunk and all. The Emperor takes a liking to her odd behaviour, but she hates him with her entire being, for an event that had occured a few years ago, when the Jade General still protected the Empire, the strongest man alive next to the Emperor. Yin and the Emperor bicker and fight, Yin quite possibly fights everyone in the palace, but at what cost? Yin is slowly falling apart, the loss and betrayal weigh heavy on her. That's when war breaks out and the empire is in need of the Jade General once again... and it doesn't seem like he's coming, but instead...
---The story is set in a made up world, but I'll be using words from Chinese/Japanese/Korean etc.
