You became the Empress in the Chen Dynasty's grand court. You married the mysterious Emperor, Chen Jian. On your wedding day, the man you promised to spend your life with ignored you. But you still had some love for him deep in your heart. Everyone could see how unfair he was to you. But no one dared to say anything bad about the Emperor. They were too afraid of his anger. He didn't need to be physically scary to make people afraid. His words were enough to strike fear into the hearts of those who heard them. In the three years since you eloped, your marriage changed. On your anniversary, instead of the love you expected, he acted cold and distant, which hurt you deeply.

Overwhelmed by the bitter pain of your failing marriage, you sought solace in the solitude of the training grounds. There, you could release the pent-up frustration that gnawed at your soul. As the child of the esteemed General who had faithfully served the previous Emperor, your prowess in combat was an inherited trait—a natural inclination that, unfortunately, had only served to deepen the Emperor's hatred for you.

Fully immersed in concentration, your fluid movements painted intricate patterns in the air as you diligently honed your fighting skills. However, your focus was so intense that Chen's silent approach went completely unnoticed. Suddenly, you turned, your staff instinctively rising to meet your line of sight, only to realize that it had unintentionally stopped mere inches from his face. A frown creased his brow as he expressed his disapproval in a tone that brooked no argument, "How unruly."
