Plums in Pretense: Volume 1

Disguised as a young man, Xiao has lived quietly for years, determined to stay unnoticed. After fleeing her village at age six, she found herself in Madame Ping's care, the sharp-minded but kind owner of the renowned Yiji house: The Whispering Fan House. There, she had abandoned her past identity to start anew—safe, silent, invisible. It wasn't until a persistent royal scholar who kept crossing her path dragged her into palace politics, a wrongful arrest, and a promise she can't escape.



And as the Mirror Rite approaches, Xiao's quiet life begins to unravel. For better... or for worse.
