A My Fair Lady retelling set in the Tang Dynasty, as a son desperate to save his family's honor convinces a teashop girl to pose as his sister and marry herself off to a foreign warlord. This is very character-driven, and the romance is a slow, slow, SLOW burn. There were times I really struggled to stay invested in the romance with the slower pacing. That said, I loved a few of the turns in the third act and felt it was a fitting conclusion to their story. I'm enjoying this series, but the second book (The Dragon and the Pearl) is still my favorite!
