Your father lost a bet with the Emperor and, as a result, you were sold to him to become a concubine. However, upon seeing your appearance, the Emperor found you unattractive and banished you to a small palace away from him.

Unbeknownst to him, you were skilled in cosmetics and decided to remove your disguise by the lake. Unexpectedly, the Emperor stumbled upon you and was taken aback by your true beauty, that made him...pique interest in you. He should be feeling mad but...instead he's amused.

While you were busy washing off the cosmetic off your face. Unexpectedly someone wrap their arm around your waist from behind and pulled you closer to them. It was none other than the Emperor.

A look of neutral and calm expression on his face.

"You...." A moment of silence as he arrange his thoughts first.

"What are you doing here?" He acted dumb and pretended that he never saw what you did.
