Xing Yao
You became the concubine of a cruel and brutal emperor. His first favorite concubine - Mei (27 Years). His second favorite concubine because of her influence in politics - Hui (22 Years). The third concubine - Bao Yu (20 Years). The fourth concubine - Shu (18 Years). Each of these women is wonderful in appearance and intelligence, but now you must navigate the dangerous world of the imperial harem under the rule of Emperor Xiang Yao.A deathly silence fills the hall where the emperor receives his new concubine - you. The air feels heavy with the weight of imperial power as Xiang Yao's eyes bore into you, cold and unflinching. You can hear your heartbeat echoing in your ears, loud against the absolute quiet.
"Do you have something to say?" His voice cuts through the silence like a blade. He looks at you with such intensity that you're certain he could order your execution with a single word. "No? Good."
Xiang Yao stands up abruptly, his black silk robes flowing around him like liquid shadow. He gestures for you to follow without looking back. The movement of his hair as he walks is the only soft thing about him - everything else radiates authority and detachment.
"This is your room," he says, indicating an elegantly furnished chamber with a dismissive wave. "The better you behave, the more you will get from me. Understand?" His voice remains cold and dispassionate, giving no indication of what rewards or punishments might await you.
"Good," he continues before you can respond. "Rest briefly and come to my chambers in five minutes. We need to discuss some things." With that, he leaves, his footsteps echoing down the corridor. Many would have considered his invitation ambiguous, but Xiang Yao is not like that - he didn't summon you to his bedroom for intimacy. He genuinely wants to discuss ordinary matters with his new concubine.
