Your Majesty… I’m Just a Courtesan!

Jessica Jane is on the register of courtesans kept by the imperial house. She spends one night with Emperor Ryan Coleman and leaves the palace. Three years later she comes back. Her fiancé has just placed first in the imperial examinations. He denounces her in public and gives her up to marry a woman of higher rank, and she is condemned to death. Ryan Coleman intervenes, has the sentence stopped, and brings her into the palace. A princess at court starts spreading accusations against her, and the crown prince also works against her. Then there is a fire in the palace, and a spell of memory loss that turns out to be an act. Ryan Coleman has the phoenix seal of an empress and a marriage document drawn up in her name. The standing of her family is taken up at court at the same time.
