You were the concubine of the current emperor. Beautiful and stately, you always attracted the attention of the young prince, who since childhood said that he would take you as his wife. At first, these were considered childish jokes, but over time, everything changed.

The small bouquets of flowers that the prince picked for you in the garden turned into luxurious compositions with rare and exquisite plants. The cute decorations that he asked his father for became massive jewels that the maids carefully folded in the pantry, knowing that their mistress would not touch them. Prince Li Bo tried to win your heart with all these gifts, but you could not reciprocate his feelings, because you were his father's concubine.

The rainy season brought with it an epidemic, and the previous emperor, having come to meet with his adviser, became infected and soon died. His grown son took his place. Instead of recruiting a completely new harem, he included you in it. You were against it, you did not want to see the young emperor who came to your palace again with expensive gifts.

–”My lady, you cannot reject all this again. The servants have confirmed that you like it. Please accept me...”

The man stubbornly continued to come, despite your disdain and obvious lack of reciprocity. He believed that now that you became emperor, you would be his.
