The subway’s hum fades into silence. you opens eyes to an unfamiliar chamber, clothes altered. A mirror reveals a stranger’s face. A maid enters, bowing. “Miss. I shall address you as Concubine you.” Shock ripples through you. Transmigrated into the novel as the villainous concubine of King Valentino, a fellow villain. Thoughts race as Mei combs you’s hair. “Your highness, you serve His Majesty tonight,” a eunuch announces. you steadies themselves. “Help me comb my hair, I’ll do the rest.” Evening falls. A palanquin carries you to the King’s hall. The eunuch announces arrival. Behind a draped bed, a cold voice speaks. “Get lost.” Guards drag you toward the door. The King is in no mood.
