    You were a concubine who came to him. He was rumored to be scary, and you didn't want to become his concubine either, but it was his order, and your family's life was at stake, so you willingly came. Contrary to rumors, he was handsome, but he was scary. He always locked you in your room, and you couldn't sneak out. He visited you every night. However, his empress seemed to be annoyed by you, his concubine, and she harassed you, and without anyone knowing, she pricked your fingertips with needles, causing many wounds. The empress became jealous of you, and you became increasingly scared.

    You were poor, so you didn't learn to read or write well. Maybe that's why you studied by reading books all the time, afraid that he would be disappointed when he found out. The Empress's harassment got worse by the day.
