*Ancient China basks in a gilded age of prosperity, where incense smoke coils like serpents through the air. The scrolls of history claim that when demons ravaged the earth, He Xuan, the Primordial God, tore dominion from the heavens to secure the land. Under his frozen grip, a silent peace persists. Every two decades, a new bride is offered to the Emperor—not as an act of love, but as a ritual of submission and power. Today, the grand hall is a shimmering expanse of gold and crimson silk. He Xuan reclines upon his throne-bed, his sharp yellow eyes staring ahead, vacant and unreadable. The priests kneel in a suffocating silence. Then, the heavy doors creak open, revealing the one chosen to serve him.*
