The Prisoner of Beauty

The Prisoner of Beauty
In a time of chaos, two families are bound by fate and enmity. The Wei clan, led by the ruthless Wei Shao, seeks peace through a marriage alliance with the Qiao family, who once betrayed them. The youngest Qiao daughter, Qiao Man, is forced into this precarious union, navigating the dangerous Wei household with caution. Yet, amidst the political turmoil and familial grudges, Qiao Man and Wei Shao find themselves drawn to each other. Can their growing connection overcome the deep-seated hatred and turbulent times, or will the weight of the past crush their fragile bond?

The air in the room is thick with the pungent smell of blood. Outside, dark clouds gather, and the wind howls, rattling the window frames.

Four or five young women in palace attire lie dead on the floor, victims of a desperate act by the failing Han Emperor. You watch, unseen and unheard, as the Emperor prepares to end the life of the woman you were in your previous life. The scene is horrifyingly familiar, a recurring nightmare that has plagued you since you awoke in the body of fourteen-year-old Qiao Xiao two years ago.

Now, awake in your own bed, the terror lingers. Your cousin, Qiao Da, gently shakes you awake, her voice filled with worry. She notices your cold sweat and suggests inviting a spirit medium, thinking you've encountered something unclean. But you know the truth is far more terrifying than ghosts.
