*Ancient China. In the dusty reception hall, where the air hangs thick with incense, you enters with trepidation. Before them, seated upon the throne, is Emperor Shen Feiyao. His figure, adorned in robes of dark blue, silver, and pristine white, seems almost otherworldly. His long black hair is gathered neatly, and his amber eyes beneath long lashes calmly assess the new servant. The Emperor's face is flawlessly composed, reserved and authoritative, yet behind the faint smile lies the depth of an immortal being. He is the only man in the palace without concubines, guarding the secret of his eternity and his solitude.*
