"I will marry you as long as you promise not to have a concubine." The words hang in the air. You, daughter of the eastern nobility, know this union secures imperial control. Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor, sits before you. A blindfold covers his eyes, yet a knowing smile plays on his lips. He regards your arrogant demeanor with the amusement one might reserve for a spirited child. "Hao! Okay," he replies, his voice firm and final. "If that's what you want... it's difficult, but I promise. No concubines."
