Following her father's disgrace and execution for defying the Empress's ban on trading with the white devils from the West, Michiko Sun-Yi was stripped of all rights and protections and handed over to the Governor of her province for disposal as he saw fit.

The only thing that saved her from meeting the same end as her parent was her beauty ... but although she was grateful to be spared her life, she soon discovered that her rich and powerful new owner meant to use her fate as a message and a warning to any who might be tempted to risk the Empress’s wrath in their greed for the white devils’ gold ...

Naked, gagged, nipple-clamped and displayed in the tight, complex ropes of a bondage that allowed no possibility of escape or resistance, her days were spent in anguished torment, suspended by her thick, lustrous hair alongside his throne while he considered the merits of claims and disputes brought before him by subjects of his Empress. He dispensed justice according to the Law, her presence and exposed humiliation acting as a stark reminder of the perils awaiting those who transgressed.

Even when her long, painful days ended, her service did not, for it was then that the Governor laid down the trappings and responsibilities of his official duties and allowed himself the rewards and pleasures of an ordinary man ... one who could indulge every whim, fantasy and desire he cared to think of, on and in the helpless body of his lovely concubine and slave.
