About this listen

Someone wants me dead, but I have managed to stay alive.

And now these people, whoever they were, are going to pay for it.

The year was 672 BC, and my country Lirong had been defeated at war by the powerful neighbor Jin's army. As a token of goodwill, my father had agreed with the Duke's demand to send me and my sister in as his brides, human trophies to decorate his harem.

My sister and my simple journey to Jin had proven to be full of obstacles. Someone had tried to kill us, but we have managed to stay alive. In order to find out who was the culprit behind our assassinations, I feigned memory loss. The Crown Prince of Jin, Prince Nine Lives did not believe me at the beginning, but he was slowly ensnared by my impeccable performance. However, I have a feeling that it was not him who wanted me dead. In fact, I sensed that he was maybe even a bit in love with me, which complicated matters.

With the help of my most trusted eunuch and friend Zeus, I would find out who wanted me dead and what was his or her motives behind it.

Dear listeners, this is an alternative historical romance with dramatizations of actual historical events about the legendary Princess Liji from Lirong. She was named one of the four most vicious beauties in ancient Chinese history. All the main characters in the story were also real.

Note that this is Book 2 of The Duke & I series, and it ends with a cliffhanger. The whole series will span nearly 20 years of Liji's amazing life.
