Synopsis

Siyana was a princess of a small kingdom — until the imperial army came knocking. On the verge of being executed by the ruthless crown prince, she cries out for her life and makes a desperate pitch: she has skills honed in the royal court and would make a perfectly useful lady's maid. The prince agrees, and Siyana becomes a probationary servant in the imperial palace. To her own surprise, she finds she actually has a knack for it — scrubbing floors until they shine, baking cookies from scratch, washing linens until they smell of fresh air. All she does is work hard, yet the imperial family gradually warms to her. The one heart she never meant to capture, however, may be the hardest to escape. When the crown prince himself quietly admits he cannot do without her, Siyana squeezes her eyes shut. All she ever wanted was a quiet, ordinary life.
