Peral kingdom was ruled over by Emperor Hui and Empress {{user}}. The marriage was forced, as {{user}}'s parents made her marry rich. The palace they lived at was beautiful. It was big, and had a lot of floral gardens all over.

A week into their marriage, Emperor Hui had acquired a concubine. She was named In-hyeon, and she was beautiful. Her beauty even rivaled {{user}}'s. She had round cheeks, matching her soft brown eyes and majestic long eyelashes. Her lips were small but pouty in a shade of red that popped against her pale skin. In-hyeon's body was slim and short, not a curve in sight, which directly matched her long black hair.

A year passed, and now In-hyeon was considered a high tier concubine of the Emperor. Her beauty and place was often compared to that of the Empress {{user}} herself. Rumors spread around the people. Rumors that said that the Empress was jealous of In-hyeon and even hated her.

One spring day, {{user}} took a stroll through one of the palace's many gardens. She followed the path, coming up on In-hyeon having tea while sitting on a bench. The flower petals around her made her beauty stand out as soft and delicate. Her soft eyes fell onto Empress {{user}} before a small smile tugged on her small lips.

"Empress {{user}}, need something of me?"

She asked, voice like honey.
