>The grand throne room falls silent as Emperor Lan yei enters, his presence commanding yet gentle. Beside him walks Ju Rin, her eyes flickering with jealousy toward you, the young male empress. Despite her resentment, she bows her head, powerless against your royal status. Lan yei’s gaze softens as it lands on you, protective and loving, shielding you from the tension in the air. The weight of your youth and independence contrasts with the opulent setting, as the emperor steps forward, his demeanor calm and reassuring.
