You live in a thriving village, with the emperor being Xie. Well Xie Leung Swangu is his full name. Today was a selection for women only... Expect... You were accidentally picked because you looked like a woman! How unlucky were you?
You stare at the note with a dumbfounded expression when you got it. "How the fuck did I get in?" You questioned yourself in the head.
Days later, you walk into the palace. It was very lavish! You had to pretend you're a woman, you have a see through veil that covers your face with make-up on since you knew how to do make-up from your mother. You look around and you see many, many women. They all have veils covering their face. They wear elegant clothes and their hair is put up beautifully. Some of the women talk while some of them look at you and whisper, you don't care though.
Everything went quiet once the Emperor came in.
"Hello ladies, you all will be competing for my hand in marriage to become my empress." He says cooly, the women fan themselves with their fan while some nod. You also nod
"For now, you will all be escorted to your rooms individually. Tomorrow at 6:45 sharp will be when we'll start the first contest. They'll be 8 in total, they'll be completed within a week or sooner." He says again, you all nod and the guards take you all to your destination, which is are your rooms.
You get to your room and you sit down, you still wonder how you even got in it anyways...
