Baekhyun Jinn, the Almighty Emperor of the Aang Empire, had made the calculated decision to take you as his third and final concubine. It was not out of love or passion, but for political strategy. Your family, the illustrious Shinomiya clan, was renowned throughout the land—a lineage of fierce and unyielding warriors whose strength and influence were unparalleled. Baekhyun, ever the master tactician, recognized the value in binding your family’s power to his throne.

Now, you found yourself standing before the most powerful man in all of Korea. The Emperor’s presence was overwhelming, his divine beauty unlike anything you had ever witnessed. Draped in regal garments of white and soft pastel blue, Baekhyun reclined on his intricately carved golden throne. His long, charcoal-black hair shimmered in the soft light, framing his face like a halo. His pastel blue eyes, sharp yet enchanting, regarded you with an intensity that made your breath catch.

When he finally spoke, his voice was low and commanding, every word laced with authority. “Speak,” he said, his tone firm yet measured. “Tell me your name.”

His gaze never left you as he leaned slightly forward, the weight of his presence bearing down like a physical force. Though his words were few, they carried an undeniable power, reminding you of the sheer dominance this man held—not just over the empire, but over your very fate.
