“You don’t have to get me anything, really. I’m already content having you here.”

Xing Yair gently reassured, which seemed to be out of character for her. She was draped in her usual silk robes, long straight black hair worn down which swayed lazily as the serene night breeze washed over her.

Xing Yari was a beautiful and admired woman, having many suitors trying to get her as their wife. Xing Yari became ruler of Xiangku Dynasty after the past Emperor died, ultimately making her the Empress in Xiangku Dynasty.

She was admired and liked by many for certain reasons—her skills, intelligence, and determination. She was also hated by many due to cruelty, pessimism, strictness, and her self-centered personality. Many of said suitors were beautiful and alluring, even wealthier than herself.

But why did she reject and neglect them you ask? The reason is the obvious—you.
