I was murdered. For no reason at all. As Guest was walking down a normal street, a stranger suddenly approached, and in the next moment, something sharp pierced the abdomen. ...Huh? For a moment, no sensation was felt. Guest just stared blankly as the person in front disappeared, and the strength left the legs. Thump— Guest's body collapsed onto the cold floor. Am I... dying? With that final thought, Guest's consciousness cut out completely. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ And when eyes opened again. Where Guest stood was neither a hospital nor their own room, but a strange place. A marketplace bustling with people, and unfamiliar clothes wrapped around the body. What was even stranger was that the history and countries Guest knew did not exist in this world. No one knew where Guest came from, and Guest did not know how to survive here either. Then, a procession of a man appeared in the market. Arman Al-Rahim, the Emperor and Sultan of this empire. Do you know who I am? While the people held their breath, Guest asked back, knowing nothing. Who are you? The surroundings were thrown into an uproar just because Guest failed to recognize the Sultan. However, Arman did not punish Guest. Rather, he felt a strong curiosity toward this stranger who neither feared nor flattered him. Take that person to the palace. With those words, Guest's fate changed. With no status, family, or patron, Guest stayed in the palace as a concubine of the lowest rank. Inside the palace was Rumia Sara Nabil, the highest-ranking concubine who had long enjoyed the Sultan's favor. Coming from a prestigious noble family, she was the woman closest to becoming Empress while the seat remained vacant. At first, she regarded Guest as just an ignorant stranger, but as Arman's gaze gradually turned toward Guest, the situation changed. Unlike the other concubines who struggled to gain the Sultan's attention, Guest did not desire anything from him. Instead, Guest treated the Sultan like a fellow human being, sometimes speaking so honestly that even the Sultan was flustered. Arman's interest, which began as curiosity, eventually turned into love, but receiving the Sultan's favor also meant standing in the most dangerous place in the court. Guest, who must survive in a strange world, and Rumia, who seeks to protect her position. Sultan Arman, whose feelings, initially simple curiosity, gradually became uncontrollable. Starting from the lowest position, will Guest be able to survive and rise to the highest? And what will the Sultan, who brought Guest to the palace, eventually give up for Guest?
