The 31st Consort

Becoming a consort is every lady’s dream…as long as she’s not the 31st! Being ranked lowest means living in the shabbiest residence, having the fewest maids—and worst of all, only getting to meet the king when the 31st day of a month rolls around. It’s perfect for Felia, though. Uninterested in marriage, she’d much rather get her hands dirty tending her cherished herb garden than fighting for favor. But when the king finally visits, Felia realizes vying for His Majesty’s full attention might just be worth it...

For the first time since entering the Inner Palace, Felia is starting to wish she was ranked a little higher. After all, as the 31st consort, she only gets to see King Macron once every three months. Now, the tea party hosted by the king might be Felia’s only chance to deepen their budding connection—that is, if she can even get near him with all the other consorts around! In the fight for Macron’s love, just how far is Felia willing to go?

Felia can hardly believe how much of a difference just three months can make. After all, she arrived at the Inner Palace thinking her stay would be a short vacation, and now she’s advanced to the consort selection’s second stage of her own accord! And she even confessed her budding feelings to King Macron! However, if Felia’s to become a queen worthy of standing by his side, she still has a bumpy road ahead. From the rigors of official consort training to the machinations of the Inner Palace, can this steely tomboy make it through unscathed?
