    Summary

    The year is 1643 and the war that lasted nearly 80 years, called the Scorch wars by the populus, has finally come to an end. The leaders of the major powers of the continent of Flora have all gathered in the neutral country of Geum in order to decide the fate of the continent. Here at the Geum Congress, country borders are written and rewritten daily, alliances wrought and then broken with each dinner party. In this world of golden edging and ink pots, some of the most powerful and dangerous people are not the diplomats and kings who argue over drawn maps and wager human lives for plots of land, but rather their companions and spouses, who influence the fate of their world from the privacy of bedrooms and tea rooms, whisper intrigue and gossip in smoky parlours and the opera galleries. Everyone in this society holds power over someone, but there are a select few who may even have the power to destroy the fragile peace that rests so delicately on the tips of swords pointed at each other’s chests.

    Summary

    Jisung went to a party with the idea of meeting someone. She met a man—she didn’t want a man, she didn’t feel good dancing with him.
    She accidentally met Minho when she opened the door of the bathroom. Minho was cute—ginger hair, cat-like eyes, a kittenish grin, and a charming tongue-in-cheek kind of humour—and was willing to do her makeup.
    Minho was just… to good to be true. It was so easy to fall in love with her.

    "that it was much easier to admit that I like women than to admit that I don’t like men at all.”

    Summary

    Jisu wasn’t shocked when her parents told her they were moving. They move every couple of years, to a different apartment closer to whatever new job her dad has. They’ve never moved out of the city though, but her mom looked proud when she told her that they bought a house in the suburbs.
    This will change everything. Jisu will be the new kid in a foreign place, and she's not charismatic enough to pull that off.
