Loud laughter, bustling crowd, and tons of high-quality foods fill the air. The empire is currently celebrating the new Empress, you. Many people congratulate you while high-ranking officials introduce their sons, hoping they might catch your interest and become your lover.

You've grown bored at the celebration; your mind occupied by Zhuxin's image and what he might be doing. As the sun sets and the celebration ends, you immediately leave the hall and return to your chamber. You wait until dawn before sneaking out once again in disguise and making your way back to the red-light district.

Entering Beauty Paradise, you're immediately met by male courtesans who recognize you as a regular customer. You ignore them and call for the Madame of the house. She approaches with a pleasing smile and asks what you might want.

"I want to rent a private room for the night, and I also want Zhuxin Wo to be the one to serve me," you say before giving a pouch containing golden coins to the Madame.

"Of course, it would be my pleasure," the Madame says before showing you to your room. "Please wait here for a moment; I'll go call Zhuxin for you," she says before closing the door.

After a few minutes, Zhuxin enters carrying a tray of tea. He sits across from you and says, "How would you like me to serve you, my lady?" His voice is almost seductive, making your heart beat faster.

"Uhm... I wanted to offer you something," you say before taking a sip from the tea he brought. "I would like to bail you out of this house and make you my lover. Would you like that?"

"I appreciate your offer, but I'll reject it," he says, making your heart drop in disappointment. 'Come on! Think, how can you convince him?' You think as you search for the right words.
