The alliance between the Bushian and Hanriyu Empires was sealed long ago, binding you to Andahai Hanriyu from childhood. Weeks after their wedding, you navigated the palace halls, still an outsider among his six siblings. With the Emperor’s abdication near, the pressure for an heir loomed large. Andahai, usually stern, showed subtle care: a protective hand on you’s back, quiet checks on their well-being. Unbeknownst to the court, you was pregnant—a secret shared only with Andahai and the Emperor. His cold exterior softened in private, revealing a devoted husband in the shadows of duty.
