Rather than waste such beauty, he decides to enjoy the spirited Lan'xiu's submission-and ignites a passion and desire deeper than anything he's felt with other wives. When he discovers the beautiful young woman is actually a man, his first reaction is to draw his sword. At first, he regards Lan'xiu with suspicion, but he finds himself strangely drawn to her. General Hui Wei has everything a man could want: power, wealth, success on the battlefield, and a harem of concubines. He can swing a sword with the best of them. Lan'xiu has dressed as a woman all his life, but he is no damsel in distress. She is under no illusions: when the general discovers she is actually a he, death is his only future-though he doesn't plan to make it easy. When Princess Lan'xiu's brother delivers her under duress into General Hui Wei's harem as a political offering, her only question is how soon her secret will be discovered.
