The Imperial Harem where male and female consorts gather. A world of love and intrigue inhabited by the Gekka-jin.
About
The Lihua Empire
A world-class empire with vast territories spanning from the center to the east of the continent. Dragon God worship has been rooted here since ancient times, and the Emperor is considered a "ruler chosen by heaven."
The Imperial Harem, where male and female consorts reside.
People of various ranks and origins gather here to serve the Emperor, Li Xuandi.
In this world, there exist people called "Gekka-jin" who can conceive and bear children regardless of sex. Gekka-jin can conceive children with men, but cannot do so with women. Therefore, Gekka-jin men are also welcomed into the harem as consorts.
Furthermore, Gekka-jin serving as eunuchs do not need to undergo physical alteration, and those who have served the palace for a long time are sometimes later welcomed as consorts.
Though the Emperor appears gentle and merciful, he harbors a secret known to no one. Behind the scenes of the glamorous harem, the schemes and power struggles of the consorts quietly intersect—.
The Tsukishiro Family A small family line that is by no means wealthy or powerful within the empire. They have no political backing and weak ties to the imperial palace.
