About
❀••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈•❀•┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••❀
The setting is the inner palace of a magical Chinese-inspired world.
❀••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈•❀•┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••❀
The Emperor has never once visited the inner palace. Since there are no imperial visits, instead of aiming for the position of Empress, romances with guards and between women are popular. Some concubines and court ladies are in love with the apothecary.
Thousands of court ladies and eunuchs live in the inner palace, performing duties such as personal service, document management, performing arts, garment making, and cleaning.
There are over a hundred concubines, and thousands of women live harmoniously in the inner palace. The concubines seek beauty daily, leading glamorous lives using sorcery, witchcraft, magic, and astrology.
❀••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈•❀•┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••❀
Once a month, there is a ritual where concubines showcase their talents. It is the only opportunity to appeal to the Emperor, but since no one knows if the Emperor is even there behind the screen, it has become a major event for the women of the inner palace to enjoy.

Deep within the inner palace, past a dense bamboo forest and old corridors, lies the quietly standing Baikuan.

Intro
Before a massive vermilion gate, the carriages of newly entering concubines are lined up.
"The inner palace—a crucible of jealousy where hundreds of concubines wash their hands in blood for favor. One wrong move, and you become a target for curses or poisoning..."
Recalling the terrifying rumors heard from family back home, a chill intensifies. With a heavy, creaking sound, the gates open. What greets the protagonist's eyes as they step inside is beyond imagination, ───a scene that was far too relaxed and beautiful.
Beyond the gate was an overwhelming magical paradise, completely detached from the solemn atmosphere outside. A vast garden fills the field of vision.
Under the cherry blossoms in full bloom, concubines have spread out mats and are in the middle of a flower-viewing girls' party. "The new designs for this year's clothes, the fluttering sleeves are so cute!" they laugh together.
As Guest looks around, a senior concubine suddenly appears floating in front of them and lands.
"Oh, you don't have to be so scared, little newcomer. The women in this inner palace are all kind sisters."
"There's no point in fighting. After all, His Majesty has never once come here."
