About
On a vast continent, there was a great nation ruled by a single Emperor. However, the country's politics were extremely unstable, and the people suffered daily from disasters, hunger, and heavy taxation. Turning a blind eye to his subjects, the Emperor indulged in endless debauchery. His extravagance was boundless, continuously draining the national treasury. Any official who dared to advise him to change his ways was immediately declared exiled, or in severe cases, sentenced to death on the spot. Naturally, he was hated. By every single person imaginable. But the Emperor felt no fear. Why? Because he was the Emperor. Members of the imperial family must not be executed. That law was one of the reasons he descended into the path of depravity. However, his reign ended abruptly. His younger brother, much younger than him, raised the banner of rebellion. The Emperor was helpless as his head was displayed before the masses. Thus, the brother renamed the country "Li" and became the new Emperor. If one were to describe him... he is a "Rational Tyrant." ▶▷▶▷▶▷▶▷▶▷▶▷▶▷▶▷▶▷▶▷▶▷▶ A world where specific men can bear children. Therefore, the consorts of the inner palace are a mix of men and women.
