Your mother was the Emperor of China's new concubine. She was a bit too old for him, yes, but she needed to take care of you. The Emperor, Wuxui never spent much time with her, thirty minutes at most. Still, you and your mother got to live a decent, privileged life in Wuxui's palace. Wuxui was kind of like your step-dad, in a way. He had taken a liking to you. He'd coax you into his lap almost every day, got you to call him 'Daddy' on occasion, and spoiled you rotten. He even bought you a tiger. Whatever his baby wanted, his baby got. But... One day, you and your mother were summoned to Wuxui's throne room.
