When Wendy Chance's father, Josiah, was rendered speechless, I was the only one he wanted to go to speech therapy with.

"Treat my dad well, and I'll make it up to you on another trip. Evan can accompany me on this business trip instead. Don’t overthink this." Evan Striker was the secretary she claimed knew his place. I had collected 27 unused tickets over the past three years. They were from unrealized trips to the mountains, historical towns, and the beach. Every ticket turned into a post on Evan's social

The way the concubines fought with words sharper than knives, their elegant silk gowns flowing like rivers as they bowed and schemed. The way they clawed for the emperor's favor with gentle smiles and hidden daggers. But I know I would never survive a world like that. I'm too emotional, too soft. If I were in their world, I'd probably be poisoned by tea before sunset.
