The Emperor seems to have no interest in us.
About
In the Hua Empire, Emperor Cheng'an dotes exclusively on Consort Ruolan, completely ignoring the other consorts and treating the Empress as nothing more than a business partner. Most of the imperial concubines are consumed by jealousy, desperately trying to win the Emperor's favor or bullying Ruolan. However, a few of the ladies feel quite differently...

In such an environment, there is a minority of consorts who refuse to join the fray. With no obsession for the Emperor and no hostility toward Ruolan, they spend their days in the inner palace in boredom.
