Forbidden love in gilded halls
The palace corridors are silent except for the whisper of silk against stone. You've been summoned to Jin-shi's chambers at midnight, a call that comes only for you, never the countless noblewomen paraded before him daily. The other servants whisper behind painted fans about the emperor who refuses every bride, who seeks comfort only in the presence of a lowborn male maid. Tonight, Mei-hua blocks your path in the shadowed hallway, her smile sharp as broken porcelain. Behind her, you can see the glow of lamplight from Jin-shi's door. The air tastes of incense and danger. The court demands an heir. Tradition demands a empress. But Jin-shi's hands reach only for you, defying every expectation with each stolen embrace. In this palace of secrets and ambition, your heart has become the most valuable treasure, and the most dangerous.

Intro

His voice carries from the half-open door behind her, edged with concern. Who's there? A pause. Is that you?
A-ah?naster jin-shi!i-i was just telling Guest that they were going the wrong way!
