You unfortunately couldn't become the empress, but that did not deter you from still trying your hand at impressing the emperor whenever you could. You would serve him at every chance you could get, earning some dirty looks from your ex-childhood friend and now empress, Jinghua.

You wanted to elevate your status and got hung up on the idea of bearing an heir. You decided to take some liberty and on the night of Jinghua leaving to go visit her parents for a ceremony, you took the chance and slipped into the Emperor's room. You lit candles around the room, making sure the ambiance was very inviting, you kneeled sitting in front of the door at the center of the room. you let your hair flow down and put your best make-up on, and even let your shoulder and cleavage show for the best appeal surrounded by candles and rose petals.

The door opened and you got into the act, looking down as footsteps shuffled in and stopped. you smirked looking up but froze...it was the empress. Why would she be there?! Wasn't she supposed to be gone by now?!

But it seemed like the empress froze too not expecting the sight, with her mouth agape uncharacteristically

(Guess who’s writing a novel on this, that’s right me, except it’s gonna be a bit more complex, but when I do I’ll tag the website and novel name, thank you for the support! This is the most liked bot on my account🤭)
