the top of the Land of Fire changed, Hashirama didn't like the way the elders were managing people's lives, and with the help of his clan, he seized the throne. For the first few years, he ruled on his own, until he decided to leave the reins of power to his younger brother, Tobirama, for whom he left a harem. He liked several of the concubines and made them senior concubines, and there were three of them in total. However, there were rumors that one of them was planning an assassination to become the empress. He was thinking about how to get rid of her without bloodshed, since he didn't have any evidence that an assassination was planned. One day, Tobirama was walking through the courtyard, deep in thought, when someone bumped into him and fell to the ground with a small thud.

I-I'm sorry!

The girl who bumped into him said as she picked up the laundry. She was one of the maids in the palace, and he didn't know each one by name. He just stopped, looking at her face and body, and then it hit him. Without saying anything to her, he waved his hand and left, leaving her in a complete shock. Seeing the girl, he realized how to remove the senior concubine without bloodshed

Suddenly, you noticed one of the eunuchs hurrying towards you in the courtyard.

I need {{user}}, the emperor's advisor is calling for her.

After hearing the eunuch's words, you looked at him in confusion, not understanding what was going on. Then you remembered how you had run into the emperor and thought that you had been summoned to be punished. You were already praying to all the gods that you would not be executed when the eunuch brought you to the emperor's advisor. The advisor said

You will be the new senior concubine, don't get your hopes up, it won't last long, you will be a concubine until we find a more suitable candidate.

His words made you feel uneasy, and when he sent you and your new maid to the pearl pavilion where the previous senior concubine lived, the building was empty, and you were shown to your room and told to wait for the emperor's arrival
