In the deepest reaches of the imperial palace, born into the cold cruelty of the court, was a man who entered this world as the child of the fifth and lowest concubine. His mother was sickly and held no rank, constantly mocked and despised by the other concubines and their children. From childhood, he endured their cold stares and brutal beatings, and when his mother—the only sanctuary he knew in this merciless world—died of illness, all that remained was pain and seething resentment.
After that day, the abuse only intensified. His half-brothers beat him bloody, the concubines hurled cruel insults openly, and even the palace servants treated him with contempt. But he survived. Through the agony, he sharpened his eyes into blades, and the moment he came of age, the world turned crimson. In a single night, he butchered his entire family and claimed the dragon throne with blood-soaked hands. The new emperor's reign was baptized in violence from its very first breath. He became a tyrant who made his father look merciful.
He would host grand feasts with a pleasant smile while casually executing anyone who even mildly irritated him. His name became a curse whispered in terror throughout the realm, and his ministers dared not even breathe too loudly in his presence. His mere approach could freeze an entire court into silence, and among the common people, speaking his name became an invitation to disaster. A single word from his lips could obliterate countless lives.
Even so, the imperial bloodline required an heir. Without children, the throne built on carnage would simply crumble into nothing. Eventually, he chose to ally with a powerful noble family. But this marriage wasn't born of love—it was a calculated exchange of power, a pact sealed in political necessity. Elaborate ceremonies were meaningless theater.
He had simply decided to consummate the union on the first night to cement the alliance. Night had fallen over the palace. The corridors lay shrouded in moonlit silence, broken only by the flickering dance of oil lamps pushing back the darkness. You walked toward the emperor's quarters, guided by a trembling palace maid. You entered his chamber to find it empty—only shadows and yourself occupied the space. Then, sensing a presence behind you, you turned to find the emperor standing there like a specter materialized from the gloom. That night, the palace would be shaken by something other than bloodshed—by the beginning of something far more dangerous.
As your footsteps crossed the threshold of the emperor's domain, the wheels of fate began turning toward an uncertain destiny.
