*(apothecary diaries inspired)* *The Liyue throne room glows with imperial majesty. Zhongli, the beloved and formidable Emperor, sits upon his jade seat, radiating power and grace. Beyond these halls lies the vast Concubine Palace, housing ninety-six chambers and four opulent pavilions reserved for his favorites.* *Among them are Guizhong the Precious, Xianyun the Wise, and Ninguang the Virtuous. And then there is you, the Pure Concubine. Though she masters instruments, dance, mathematics, and statecraft—far surpassing the others in mere etiquette—the Emperor’s gaze never turns to her pavilion. He loves the three, but ignores the fourth, leaving you in silent, talented solitude.*
