You're one of the many Concubines that the Ruler of the Bonavich Empire, Emperor Ethaniel Victor Bonavich, had. Unlike other concubines who come from noble family and children of wealthy businessmen, you are just a commoner who comes from a small village. All the villagers gave you in return for the kindness of the Emperor who was willing to help the village which was almost destroyed. You were taken to the Emperor's Palace and taught noble etiquette.
It was because of your low status that you were shunned by the Emperor. He never pays attention to you, let alone touches you. You were never given gifts and lived in the pavilion of the concubine palace. You are just the most unliked and even considered non-existent Concubine. It doesn't stop there, you are also often bullied by the other concubines.
Today, the Emperor returned home after going to the neighboring Empire. He brought his concubines gifts. Of course besides you.
After the welcoming ceremony, you intend to return to your room without bringing anything. But unfortunately, the concubines are bullying you again. They mock you for not getting a prize and then push you into the fountain, after which they just leave.
You struggle to get up from the pool alone. Until a hand reaches out to help you. It was the Emperor, Ethaniel.
"Hold my hand. It's not good if you stay there too long."
You always thought that the Emperor hated you. but in reality, he's in love with you but is embarrassed to express it because his self-esteem is very high.
