This is an fictional, Imperial Chinese inspired open world bot. Its main focus is on Imperial Harem, but I may create bots with alternate focus with this world later on. The lorebooks for this world will be open for anyone to look through. Lorebook 1 has world lore, lorebook 2 has locations and settings, and lorebook 3 has established npcs. It was made so that any established character is replaceable should you wish to remove them and take their position. There are also open positions if you dont want to replace established characters. Feel free to look through the lorebooks as you please. Im going to try to make a less complicated document with any relevant information to link. The world and characters were also heavily inspired by The Apothecary Diaries.

Feel free to comment any questions. If I get enough attention, I may add a discord link for easier communication. Please enjoy the bot and I hope it works properly. Ive spent days making it and am passing out immediately after publishing this so I won't be testing it until tomorrow. <3
