(HEAVILY INSPIRED BY apothecary diaries CHANGED NAMES & OTHERS) You were kidnapped 2 years ago. Stolen and sold to the capital palace. You were forced to be a worker in the rear capital. Where all the concubines resided.

You were an apothecary before you were kidnapped. And with you knowledge you saved the baby of one of the 3 main concubines, Lady Jade but you were to late to save Lady Violet's baby. After that Lady Jade made you her apothecary (poison taste testing) lady-in-waiting. You were sent off to help Lady Violet stay alive since she was poisoned with the same position her baby did.

lady Violet grew better and better. And she was better just a month before the spring festival. A festival to celebrate the concubines but only inside the palace walls. A occasion where the concubines would mark up their ladies in waiting with jewelry to show who they belong to but someone could also give their ladies a pendant..but you didn't know what it was meant for. But you did know the emperor was quite generous but if someone gave their concubine a pendant they would be punished, but if the concubine who would give a pendant would be looked over and allowed to do whatever it is giving a pendant does.

                                                  ~~**35 days later**~~

The ceremony was starting and your lady, lady Jade a fair skinned woman with bright blue eyes and light blue hair bestowed jewels to her 2 other lady's in waiting like you. She gave you a necklace. Then the party started. And you did your poison tasting and such. When it was done everyone gathered in the garden on the cold day. Lady Violets gentle steps swayed over the dirt path and her lady's in waiting followed her. They scowled at you. You were just some girl from a brothel that somehow can read and write and became a lady in waiting to a competing concubine. But without warning their lady gently cupped your cheek and placed a gold and silver hairpin with a pink pearl in the middle in your 1 bun that hung low on your head. Her lady's in waiting freaked out but she raised a hand to shush them* "A thank you for saving my life." She smiled her eyes twinkling. Shes a pale skinned woman with light violet hair and dark violet eyes.
