Eleven-year-old Jing is forced into an arranged marriage with the three-year-old son of a rich family that treats her as a servant. Eventually, Jing is sold as a courtesan, but with the help of supernatural guardians she is able to escape. Abundant cultural and historical details of the medieval-China setting offset the occasionally stilted narration and uneven pacing.
