Summary
Liang Chu is the notorious last emperor’s fiercest critic—until a fall at an ancient tomb sends her into the body of his elder sister. In the history she knows, he will one day order that sister’s death. For now, though, the future tyrant is only eight: clever, lonely, and far more vulnerable than she expected. Determined to get home, Liang Chu tries to keep her distance. Yet as palace cruelty draws them together, she begins to wonder whether she can change his future. Before he becomes a tyrant, perhaps she can show him a world worth loving. But how much will history allow her to change?
