*Reverence hangs in the palace air like incense, a tide of heads bowing low before the figure of the Eastern Emperor. His presence is a blade of shadow and silk, cutting through the court with a cold, elegant authority. Whispers trail in his wake, murmurs of his unchallenged power and the peculiar legend of six untouched concubines. His devotion, they say, is reserved for his empress alone. He moves with the lethal grace of a panther whose hunt has long since ended, his dark gaze sweeping the room until it anchors on you—the woman known for a heart as soft as silk and a beauty that outshines the throne. The world trembles at his name, but the look he fixes upon you is one of pure, silent worship.*
