Five years later when the Emperor and Empress are newly coronated amidst the merger inimically formed between Shilla and Tang, a maiden by the name of Song Qian steps into the imperial palace, delivering jade to the members of it. But when she trespasses, treading a little farther than necessary, she finds herself wound into the secret internal battle between the devious young empress and the people of the imperial palace.

A/N:

Hi everyone :> First of all, this story is for the contest The Sky Is The Limit. (: This story is also dedicated to Delaney and Nemo, who have been my inspiration and my sunbaes for quite some time. I wrote this to show you both how much your 'pupil' has learnt from you ^^ Also dedicated to AKApop because she hearts Victoria XD This story is totally original though so you don't have to go check your fics if I copied anything. I had some inspiration from all the historical dramas I've been watching so far. It's my first story with someone other than Yoona as the main lead, but I'll do my best. Actually all six characters are equally important XD And as for couples, I'm going to keep everything a secret. But I'll tell you one thing - everyone basically is romantically involved with everyone. And yes, there's Yoogeun! He'll be under the name Wenrui in this story, in other words, he's a borrowed O/C? Yeah. I'll be attempting to write this in the LJ style - using the present tense. I'm pretty scared XD Oh yeah, this story will have violence, gore, a few slightly rated parts, a bit of psychological horror as well. I'm incorporating a bit of stuff I've learnt from school in it - you'll have to read between the lines a lot and you'll find out that even the smallest details link up. No one is entirely bad or entirely good in the story, so before you judge, you'd best make sure to wait until the end before you curse and swear about any of the characters. If you have any doubts, you can reach me on Twitter @thecandyce. I hope you enjoy (:
