This story tells the lives of two teenagers in love, stuck in the middle of World War II in occupied Guernsey. Authors Note: We were told to write a letter so I wrote this basing it loosely on my own Great Grandmother's life on the island.

When Congmei, a boisterous, yet clever, young peasant girl learns of an opportunity to become a concubine of the young new Emperor, with the possibility of becoming his head wife in charge of all of the other wives, something convinces her father to let her go. At first, she had wanted only a life of luxury. She then finds the inner court in shambles; rebelions, betrayals, forbiddon loves begin-changing her aspirations; to become head wife, to teach newly recruited servants how it's done, and to become legend-the Three Sworded Bride. Will they have a successful marraige ceremony? Will everything go as Congmei had planned? You will only understand the ending if you journy through this epic Warring States period in China.
