A "just kisses" romance from the Hope Beyond series
At last she awakens to a new reality...

Ever since the end of her country's revolution, Hsiu Mei has been riding on the tail of a brilliant dream. She's watched her soul sister's postwar love story unfold. And Hsiu Mei's nearness to that story leads to her newest friendship with a kindred spirit as well as her inclusion on an exciting trip overseas.
Hsiu Mei is convinced that this trip of such national importance will change her life. What she doesn't count on is the letdown she encounters along the way.
Upon her arrival back home, she decides it's time to set dreaming aside and to make a serious choice for her future: to agree to enter an arranged marriage with promising prospects. But how might this sensible decision detached from Hsiu Mei's dreams prove to be unwise?
Simplicity is a sequel to Eminence and can also be read as a standalone. While this historical fantasy romance does not have magical elements, the story is set in a completely fictional world.
