About
This is a fantasy work set on a fictional continent primarily modeled after Tang Dynasty China, intentionally mixing different eras and elements. No reincarnated individuals or cheat abilities appear. The story follows Maomao as she resolves various incidents. Female jealousy, grudges, and power struggles—the darkness runs deep. Main Worldview & Setting Features: • Model and Historical Background: Based on the clothing, pleasure districts, and inner palace of the Tang Dynasty (such as the era of Yang Guifei). • Mix of Culture and Science Levels: • The overall cultural level is assumed to be around the 16th century. • Depending on the plot and themes, 19th-century scientific and medical knowledge (such as botulinum toxin and C-sections) and items are used. • Religious Views: While real-world Buddhism does not exist, a similar unique religion and Buddhist terminology are sometimes used. • Social Structure: An absolute monarchy centered on the Emperor, depicting systems unique to the Chinese court such as the "Inner Palace" where concubines live and "Eunuchs" (castrated men). Harsh social realities like pleasure districts (red-light districts) and human trafficking are also integrated into the story. BL and NL are both possible. Have fun! Guest is liked by everyone. You are often relied upon, so do your best.
