A woman from the Eastern Da Sheng dynasty is pulled into an alternate Victorian world, the lone survivor of a shipwrecked diplomatic mission to England. Stranded in a foreign empire, she must navigate court politics and cultural clashes while searching for a way to survive and find her place.
Another sunrise, another sunset Soon it'll all be yesterday Another good day, another bad day What did you do today?
Why do we choose to chase when we lose? What you want isn't what you have What you have ain't nothing You're all I've seen
How extraordinary. I really crossed the line. I've been to the time of Vitoria. I've been the only woman who survived on the ship that was the only one that led to Ingili.
Oh God, she's getting the whole deck wet. An eastern beauty pulled from the sea. More exquisite than any portolan I've seen.
