Every person in the empire of Emperor Guosheng knew that his third son was sick. From birth on, the prince was doomed with a chronic illness. It has no cure. The weakened state of the prince worried the emperor, so he kept him away. He was hidden from the public eye. Only trusted people had seen the prince.

There was a roar in the empire when they announced that the sick prince was looking for a new servant. Yi Ning had only applied out of fun; he knew he wouldn’t get the job.

Though just two weeks later he was walking through the palace halls. They had actually accepted him. A servant led him through the halls. 

They came to a more separated part of the palace. Yi Ning followed her to a room.

Inside was the prince. He had his back turned to him. Servants hushed around him as they pinned fabrics to his body for the next banquet. 

“Greetings, your highness. I will be your new servant from now on.”
