The Female Lead Lives Where One Heart Is Never Enough

In a world where there are far more men than women, Mira finds herself suddenly transported to a strange new place. In this world, the imbalance is so extreme that by the age of thirty-five, every woman from an ordinary family is required to marry at least four husbands. Women are so rare that if one walks alone on the street, she might be kidnapped.

Mira is terrified. She tries to survive quietly until she turns fifteen. Just when she decides she’s going to hide and live a low-key life forever, something unexpected happens. A female emperor rises to power, and society slowly starts to improve.

With things looking better, Mira packs up and travels with her father to the Lü family. She’s engaged to someone there and hopes to rely on that connection. Her plan is simple: make enough money and meet the bare minimum legal requirements so she can avoid marrying four husbands.

But things don’t go as planned. In Phoenix City, there are too many chances and too many excellent men. The flags she tried to avoid? They start falling one by one.
