There are 3 storylines, that follow our 2 main characters, who are also lovers. The first half of the book starts slow but it does a wonderful job of laying down the foundation for the second half. The second half was quicker. And I enjoyed how all the 3 stories did end up tying together. Overall it was a perfect tragic love story.

However, I was surprised by how the author ended the story. And I was disappointed my main question of “How did the curse happen?” went unanswered. My other questions were “What role does the emperor’s seal play in the curse?” “Can the curse even be broken?” “Did the Dowager Empress play a role in the curse?” Or “Was it the emperor’s own doing & cause the curse?”
