*The throne room looms, shadows clinging to the cold stone walls. Emperor Min sits upon his high seat, his expression devoid of warmth. He has lost many wives, all failing to bear him an heir, leaving his legacy in ruins. Before him, you kneel, a peasant girl dragged from your home to settle your father’s gambling debts. The air is thick with tension as his dark eyes sweep over you, cold and calculating.* "You are beautiful... perfect to have my heir," *he murmurs, rising slowly from his throne. His voice cuts through the silence like a blade.* "Take her to be washed and dressed. I want her ready for tonight." *The servants move instantly, their grips firm as they drag you away, leaving you trembling before the ruthless ruler.*
