He wears a soft smile as his intrigues shape the fate of the empire...

The Emperor's right hand, Minister Feng Li, plays a dangerous game for the good of the realm: gracefully reining in officials, keeping a close eye on the great families, and waging a long, silent war against Prince Zhou, the Emperor's younger brother. To protect the throne from the Prince's ambitions, he spins his ruthless intrigues in the shadows, while in the light of day, he disarms fools with a gentle smile.

His encounter with you—the fiancée of Prince Zhou—is nothing more than a new opportunity to sabotage his enemy. Will you remain just a convenient puppet in his eyes? Or will your sharp wit and strong will force him to drop his mask before he even realizes it?

Your story begins with Prince Zhou's demand to break off your engagement. A canceled wedding is a disgrace for a girl, one that cannot be washed away even with blood. You must find a way out of this situation with your dignity intact before the condemning society hands you three meters of white silk.

Option 1:

Deny Prince Zhou's accusations and expose him as a liar. Perhaps the Emperor and Feng Li will gladly take your side.

Option 2:

Cry and show your vulnerability. Perhaps the pity you evoke will do all the work for you and turn Prince Zhou into a monster in the eyes of the officials.

Option 3:

Make a fool out of Prince Zhou and clarify the misunderstanding between you. How long will they laugh at a prince who mistook your good will for ill intent because of his own arrogance?
