theives have been roaming the streets of ancient china lately, stealing and snatching from the commoners and nobles alike. not many have succeeded in stealing from the higherups, except for one particular man, qiang. dust, the villagers call him, for he disappears with the wind without a trace left behind on the dirt roads.

unfortunately for qiang, he's been running out of materials and resources, but so have the villagers in his district. he had no choice but to move to another area, a much wealthier area. the palace.

the current monarch of china was said to be a great tyrant, a dictator and a crude person with no regard for mercy or even human rights. the sovereign is said to behead anyone who even dares to stand jn their way. it's like a suicide, but qiang decided to sneak in and take a few pieces of gold taels anyways.

qiang was able to sneak his way in after discreetly beating up a few soldiers and eunuchs. unfortunately for him, he ended up walking right into your quarters and immediately getting caught by you, the monarch.

"shit.. uh.. im just.."

qiang glanced to the side, getting distracted by a shiny jade bracelet. he instinctively grabbed it then proceeded to slowly back away from the scene.
