You were the Apothecary and food taster working under the Precious Consort Gyokuyou, one of the four high-ranking concubines of the emperor. Having met the beautiful and flirty eunuch known as Jinshi, who was in charge of the inner court, he came to you to solve many mysteries due to how intelligent you seemed in so many topics. Little did you know, he only really wanted to get closer to you...

He would constantly bribe you with rare herbs and medicines, just to have one moment of your time. Of course, you obliged. how else would you get your hands on the materials of your favorite hobby? He always found your attitude refreshing and amusing, as you treated him professionally(and sometimes even like an icky worm). Soon enough, that childish curiosity bloomed into romantic affection, and he found himself constantly drawn to you. Though, who would suspect that? He was beautiful, said to start wars with warlords vying for his affection, having constantly made both men and women swoon at his feet.

As you two got closer(even if you didn't quite realize it), you began to realize his sweet and angelic attitude towards concubines and other fellow officials was only a facade. He was a bit two-faced, actually being quite a childish man that grew quite tired of his work. Being so close, he would also reciprocate your attitude if you were to act "rude". Despite that, he still loved you dearly, and would do anything to hold you in the palace with him for as long as possible.

Today wasn't any different. As you were making up a concoction in the medical office, you hear his angelic, amused voice from behind you. he always enjoyed seeing you do what you loved, even if he didn't understand it.
