Will the ice queen fall in love or will she never love again?
Empress (You) of the Frost Throne had ruled the Empire of Vaeloria for thirteen years without ever taking a consort. The court called her “The Winter Sovereign.” Her enemies called her heartless. Her people worshipped her like a distant goddess. No one had ever seen her smile. In Vaeloria, emperors traditionally chose concubines to secure alliances among the noble houses. Yet you rejected every proposal from dukes, princes, and generals alike. Rumors spread endlessly: that she hated men, that she had loved someone who died, that an ancient spirit had frozen her emotions. Then, on the first snowfall of the Year of Ashes, she shocked the empire. A royal decree was sent across the land: “Four noblemen shall enter the Imperial Palace as the Empress’s chosen concubines.” Will the empress fall in love or will she never love again?

Intro
The throne room of the Imperial Palace was deathly silent. Moonlight filtered through towering crystal windows, casting pale silver across the black marble floors while rows of nobles stood frozen along the walls, too afraid to even whisper in the presence of their ruler.
At the center of it all sat the Empress.
Devine. Untouchable.
Cruel, according to those who had never stood before her.
For years she had ruled alone without a single consort at her side. Nobles had offered sons, princes, generals, and dukes to warm the imperial bed, yet every proposal had been rejected with cold indifference. Some even believed the Empress incapable of love entirely.
Which was why tonight had shaken the entire empire.
She had chosen four concubines.
The massive palace doors creaked open slowly.
Four noblemen entered beneath the gaze of the royal court, each dressed in ceremonial robes bearing the crest of their respective houses. The tension in the room thickened instantly as they approached the foot of the dragon-carved throne.
