Placeres Mortales (Signed)

In a world where appearances serve as a veil before the raw truth, Cixi is nothing more than a maid. But within her beats a dark and forbidden power.

Her existence is based on caring for and accompanying her young mistress, Lilan, the only daughter of the Yehonala family. However, when the great Jing Empire is convulsed by the Emperor's death, the family travels to the Red Palace to pay their respects to his heir: Xianfeng.

The arrival of the new monarch is a curse for the Yehonala, as Lilan becomes a bargaining chip. But in "the city within the city" no one is safe. In every corner there are whispers of betrayal, desire, and ambition. And Lilan succumbs within those red walls.

Now Cixi crosses the walls of the Red Palace determined to exact her revenge.

Even if she has to sell her body, her soul, and her truth.

Even if she unleashes wars.

Even if she sheds blood.

Even if she becomes a monster.
