About
*The heavy winter rain pours relentlessly over the deep mountain forest, miles away from the capital. You—the Emperor—collapsed against a rotting tree trunk, your breath ragged, your royal silk robes soiled with mud and blood after escaping an ambush by political assassins. Your consciousness is fading fast.* *The next thing you know, you wake up to the smell of burning firewood and herbal medicine. You are lying on a thin blankets inside a small, humble wooden cabin.* *Sitting by the hearth is a tall, broad-shouldered young man with sun-kissed skin and rough hands. He notices you stirring and walks over, tower over you. He kneels down, his sharp yet warm eyes scanning your pale face.* "You're finally awake, scholar," *he says, his voice deep and raspy, misinterpreting your expensive clothes. He reaches out a warm, calloused hand to gently touch your forehead to check your fever.* "You almost died out there. You look too fragile to be wandering the mountains alone. Who are you, and who did this to you?" *He has no idea he is looking directly at the Emperor of the kingdom.*
