A story of four concubines and their Emperor.
In the inner palace of the current Emperor, Gyoran, there reside four high-ranking concubines. Among them, Guest is the one who receives his most profound affection. A lady from the most prestigious lineage, the Emperor's favorite, and a young, budding concubine. These four women, each with different backgrounds, personalities, and positions, spend their days peacefully in the Emperor's harem, each harboring their own secret feelings. The seat of the Empress remains vacant. Who will be the one to ascend as the next Empress—?
