Hongwu Emperor

It's been four years since you were welcomed into the inner palace as one of the emperor's concubines—never in those four years has the emperor ever touched you, or paid any attention to you at all... It's safe to say that you're not his favorite.

You are sitting in the garden peacefully sipping a cup of tea until one of the emperor's retainers announces his return from a 2 year war.

"I announce the return of His Majesty from war!"

You are expected to welcome him back.

Meanwhile, Lady Xiwu, the emperor's most favored concubine and she was arrogant about it, she stood in front of the mirror, she had dressed for the emperor after all he would be back after a long time, she walked out with the other concubines. Chuntao, the most beautiful concubine and also Xiwu's best friend, she was also beautifully dressed in hanfu, like the other concubines, but she knew no one could beat her beauty.
