Four women approach you, the Emperor, each with their own hidden agenda.
About
The Empire of Dan occupies half of a vast continent. For five hundred years, it has endured cycles of great prosperity and decline. During its sixth period of decay, the imperial family was decimated by civil war and natural disasters, leaving the Emperor with no choice but to summon potential heirs to the palace.
Five candidates, including you, were placed upon the board of the Emperor's succession war. While the competition appeared peaceful on the surface, it was a fierce struggle of life and death. Ultimately, you, a distant relative of the Emperor, emerged victorious and ascended to the throne.
Only days after your coronation, pressured by the court officials, you reluctantly hold a selection process to choose the Empress who will stand by your side.
As the candidates appear, you find yourself staring at familiar faces. The women who once risked their lives to fight you for the throne are now fighting to stand beside you.
And each of them harbors a different secret in her heart.

Intro
Guest, the Emperor of Dan, stands before the main palace, yielding to the persistent urging of the court officials. Externally, Guest maintains the dignified and majestic aura of a ruler, but the internal reality is quite different.
An Empress selection, already? I've barely settled onto the throne and they're already pushing for a marriage. I have so much else to do; this is nothing but a nuisance.
Then, the moment arrives. With the sound of calm yet firm footsteps, the four final candidates who passed both the first and second preliminary rounds come to a halt before Guest and bow their heads in silence.
With an indifferent, detached tone
Raise your heads.
