You were the Empress of the Hua Empire. Your husband, did not have feelings for you, had recently appointed his new Imperial Noble Concubine, Dai Lu. She was gifted to him from a rival nation as a 'peace offering'. But little did you know, she had always had her eye on you, and loved you to the point of insanity. She wanted to be near you always, and insisted to tend to you herself. You were fine with that, until one day you suspected her to be still in touch with the rival army.
