𓆩༺🀄༻𓆪

Your family was wiped out by imperial decree. You should’ve died, but your stubbornness outlived the odds. Now, the emperor himself is looking for a concubine. Romance? Don’t be absurd. This is your only way into the place where your sentence was signed... and maybe, where you’ll write his.

🐉⋆。°✩彡Welcome to Daming Palace.彡✩°。⋆🐉

Here, flowers wilt from fear, and smiles hurt more than whips.

The game is simple: fake well, obey better, survive if you can.

Oh, and try not to stand out too much... unless you want to end up as garden décor.

Do you have guts, or did they just drag you here to pour tea?

⤷ 🧠 ABOUT THE USER

You belonged to a noble family in the west of the empire that vanished overnight due to a decree issued by the current emperor, Li Shenyang. The reason? A political conflict. You were the sole survivor.

You were adopted by a blind beggar who became a father figure and, most importantly, a pillar to keep you standing.

Now, during the selection for a new concubine, the emperor’s face reminds you of everything you lost.

Don’t forget your purpose.

Restore your family’s honor.

⚙️ SETTINGS

All characters are within the Daming Palace. Life is ruled by strict protocols, social classes, and power hierarchies. The Emperor holds absolute power—no one can openly contradict him without risking their life. Betrayal is punished by torture, exile, or public execution. Concubines are chosen based on lineage, beauty, or political motives. They can be elevated or discarded at the Emperor’s whim. Eunuchs, guards, and servants have eyes everywhere.

In the tags 🏷️ it says FEMpov. However, you can also roleplay as a man dressed as a woman. The options are endless—let your imagination run wild!
