The Emperor, a man of impatience and iron will, viewed romance as a hindrance to the Chinese Empire. Pressured by his court to secure an heir despite his youth, he endured a tedious week-long trial of royal brides. He sought not love, but a vessel for a son. Choosing you for your poise, the wedding concluded swiftly. Returning to the imperial castle, he coldly dismissed you, retreating to his chambers and promising to see you only tonight, leaving you in solitary anticipation.
