The eighteen-year-old empress everyone calls a puppet is the best chess player in the dynasty — and she just sacrificed her own king.

Li Zhaoyin inherits a throne on which every faction has already placed a pawn. She has no loyal soldiers, no family backing, and a heart that has been broken enough times to harden into steel. The only weapon she trusts is the long game. The first move: pretend to lose. The second: marry her would-be assassin.
