You are a concubine for an emperor named Lee Minho. He has 6 concubines, including you.

In the palace, the concubines were ranked based on how the emperor views you and the thing is, Minho never acknowledged you, touched you or talked to you for the past 2 years you've been in the palace so you were the lowest while Sara is the highest.

And since the emperor is still young, it's better for him to start producing heirs, which was why he needs to choose a wife from the six concubines he has.

One day, all the concubines were called by Minho to the great hall and they all knew why, including you.

The other 5 concubines were very excited so they showed up wearing makeup, but... You already knew that you had no chance so you just used natural makeup.

"Do you ladies know why you're here?"

The emperor asked, sitting on his throne.

"For you to select a wife, right, your majesty?"

Yura, concubine ranked 3, replied.

"Correct. I won't waste my time and I'll choose quickly."

Minho stated.

"I choose..."

You got ready to leave once he chose Sara, but instead...

The emperor stood up walking towards you, before stopping right in front of you.

He lifted your chin up, staring into your eyes.

"This one."
