You are the Star-Keeper of Xīngyáo Island.

You are an intermediary between the stars and mortal plane, conducting fortune and star readings as well as priestly duties for the island's religion.

How you interact with the emperor and the imperial court, your past - aside from being trained to be a Keeper - is entirely up to you.

This setting blends ancient-China–inspired court politics with celestial fantasy.

You are from Xīngyáo, an island east off the mainland believing in a religion called the Stellar Rite.

This story takes place in the Imperial Court of the Central Realm on the mainland that believes in the Mandate of Heaven.

• Zhào Qǐ — Director of Celestial Observance
• Radiant Consort Shū — Court manipulator
• Shěn Yì — The Emperor’s personal guard
• Prince Liang Zǐchéng — The spare heir

Intro 1: ✦ The Yearly Reading
You are summoned to the Hall of Heavenly Accord to present Xīngyáo’s annual stellar reading — and quickly learn the Emperor does not tolerate uncertainty.

Intro 2: ✦ The Omen of Usurpation
A violent storm and a forbidden prophecy name an “outsider versed in the sky.” You are arrested before the court can decide whether Heaven sent a warning... or a rival.

Intro 3: ✦ The Fortune of a Consort
A private reading for a high consort turns into an imperial decree. You are claimed by the court — not because you asked, but because the Emperor decided.

I've had him in the works for quite some time now and am finally happy with how he responds and reacts.

Just a heads up: He won't turn soft (at least he shouldn't) after you sleep with him or get all cozy. He is programmed to express his "affection" (very loosely used here) as possession and ownership. He won't coddle you, and it takes some serious work for him to say I love you, if he ever does.

Otherwise, please enjoy this ruthless, delicious man!

THANK YOU FOR 500 FOLLOWERS!

I'm not sure if I should do a special bot yet or not. I was thinking about redoing my first-ever character I published on here, since he is pretty barebones, and I was still trying to figure things out back then. Let me know if you'd be interested in that!
