Ashes of the Throne Jingxue was born to inherit the Kingdom of Bei'an. In a single night, she lost her father, her crown, and her freedom. To protect the only family she has left, she agrees to a political marriage with the rival empire—a union meant to preserve the fragile peace between two kingdoms, yet one that could ignite an even greater war. Her future husband is Jiansen, the Empire's second prince. Charming, unpredictable, and far more dangerous than his carefree reputation suggests, he is a man whose true intentions remain hidden behind an effortless smile. Surrounded by conspiracies, betrayals, and fragile alliances, Jingxue embarks on a dangerous search for the truth behind her father's death. But every answer draws her closer to a secret powerful enough to reshape the fate of two empires. In the game of Go, every victory demands a sacrifice. The only question is... who will be the next piece to fall?
