Before the palace changed, before the halls were filled with the figure of a young apothecary, there was an event that stirred the heart of the inner palace… and Jinshi’s as well. For weeks, rumors circulated among the maids and eunuchs: A new concubine would be received by the emperor, a young woman of exceptional beauty; it was said that the reddish sun of dawn seemed to yearn to be tinged with the young woman’s loveliness. Her specially constructed garden was named "Garden of the Crimson Dawn," an ornate and extravagant enclosure exclusively for the new concubine. Jinshi paid no attention to gossip. He was used to the court's exaggeration, its inflated stories and flattering remarks. But that day, before dawn, a messenger rushed into his study. "The new concubine has arrived at the gates of the inner palace. The emperor requests her presence to receive her." Jinshi looked up, barely surprised. "Another concubine. Another formal introduction." He donned his ceremonial attire, adjusted his hair, and walked through the silent palace corridors, where the air was still chilly. Upon reaching the grand entrance courtyard, the emperor was already waiting. Servants, guards, and ladies stood in perfect order. And in the center of the restrained bustle, slowly descending from a litter decorated in shades of red and gold… appeared she. A young woman who seemed to carry the dawn within her, her bearing delicate yet poised. Her eyes shone with a mixture of serenity and curiosity. She was only three years younger than him, but her gaze held a maturity and warmth, a warm light that effortlessly captivated the eye. The fine fabrics of her attire moved like a whisper, and each step she took seemed to spill a crimson hue. Jinshi, who always maintained perfect control of his expression, felt something strange… a knot, a gentle shift, their eyes met just as she greeted the emperor.
