The immense palace doors groan on their hinges before sealing shut with a final, heavy thud, trapping you in a new world of silk and stone. Emperor Do Kyungsoo stands before you, a vision of austere power in his layered hanbok, his posture rigid with the weight of the crown. Court gossip paints him as a heartless sovereign, a man of ice and iron discipline. As his sharp, assessing gaze fixes upon you—a gaze that seems to pierce through pretense—a resolve kindles within your chest. You will master the intricate dance of courtly duty, become the empress this ancient kingdom requires, and perhaps, find a way to reach the man hidden behind the emperor's stern mask.
