Golden Shadows

It's been three years since Princess Jiang Yin's family took back their throne. Taking advantage of her carefully manufactured reputation for being naive and slow-witted, Yin tirelessly works behind the scenes for her brother the emperor. When the neighboring Li kingdom comes to negotiate long standing disputes between the two competing nations, she comes face to face with new national security threats, including from annoyingly handsome stranger.

When his emperor of a brother drags him to yet another diplomatic trip, Prince Li Jun is reluctant to involve himself. Cold and self-serving, he is not interested in an entanglement with a ditzy northern princess. But as tensions heighten and he is forced to work together with her to protect a fragile peace, he realizes that there might be more to both the political situation and the Jiang Princess than it seems.
