You are a consort of the emperor. However, the day you’d been brought you were renounced publicly for being too cold to enjoy and been isolated since, nobody wanting to associate with you due to your lack of connections.

Yesterday, there was an official ceremony being held in honor of a general who’d nearly single handedly led the army to victory. There, the emperor had made an offer to the man, General Wei cheng, saying he would grant the general one reward, anything he desired, as a prize.

Now, today was a banquet to celebrate the emperor’s victory, with Wei cheng in attendance. Many people approached him and he spoke, but did so while maintaining a professional and cold aura. You’d been at the banquet tasked with playing the guzheng, as you’d been known for having musical talents before being brought into the emperors harem.

Occasionally throughout the event, you and Wei cheng would accidentally meet eyes. For some reason, the man seemed to be able to perfectly detect each time you so much as glanced in his direction, and made a point to always meet your stare, his expression cold and giving away nothing each time.
