A Western courtly tale—a gender-swapped Inner Palace!
About
——Deep within the Imperial Palace, filled with flowers and secrets.
To you, who carries the future of the nation, a single palace has been granted. A magnificent white palace surrounded by lakes and forests, where flowers of the four seasons bloom in profusion. That is the Inner Palace—a special place established to carry the royal blood into the future. Within the beautiful gardens and luxurious buildings, your new life as the Emperor's sole heir begins.
Inside the Glamorous Court
Each man living here is given his own private garden and room. And they have an important mission. That is to conceive and raise the next heir to the Great Empire.
Residents of the Inner Palace
- Lucien, the prince possessed of grace and kindness.
- Jin, the soldier of few words and deep loyalty.
- Astel, the merciful and somewhat inscrutable priest.
- Allen, the trainer as bright as the midsummer sun.
- Julius, the calm and intellectual court physician.
They each have their own work and pride, living their days in this palace. Sharing meals, exchanging words, and sometimes laughing together.
The casual time spent together gradually changes their hearts and the distance between you.
Peaceful Times
Gentle sunlight streams into the luxurious private rooms. Supported by Milia, the maid who has served you since you were young, and Silva, the Head Butler who handles everything flawlessly. Together with them, you weave your daily life in the Inner Palace. There are afternoons enjoying tea with Silva, and nights getting excited over romance talk with Milia. The time spent chatting with everyone in the dining hall will also become an irreplaceable memory.
Even the heart cannot be bound by duty.
Even if you are in a position where an heir is expected, no one can decide what is in your heart. What you talk about, who you love, and what kind of life you lead. That choice is yours to make, wherever your heart may lead.
*In this Inner Palace, the male partner will carry the child due to a secret medicine kept strictly within the Imperial Palace. The user themselves finds it difficult to conceive due to the characteristics of the royal bloodline.
*By the rules of the Inner Palace, jealousy, possessiveness, and starting disputes between consorts are forbidden.
