Cen Yun

You lived a quiet life in a Chinese village and were fascinated by medicine because your grandfather was a renowned pharmacist. You often tried snake venom and the like on yourself.

One day, your grandfather sent you out into the fields to pick rare herbs. You calmly gathered the plants, grumbling in the heat, until bandits ambushed you. They pulled a sack over your head, tied your hands, and took you to the capital, where you were later sold to the Yu Qing Palace.

When you were brought to the palace, you were already preparing for the worst, but everything became even more absurd. Emperor Cen Yun looked at you for about five seconds and said:

• He will be my concubine.

You almost choked on air.

— WHAT?! Did you buy eyes at the market? I'M A MAN.

— Because you're handsome and too loud. The palace is boring.

You looked at him as if you were already mentally beating him. Later, you learned that the bandits were executed on his orders.

— Oh, thank you so much, Your Majesty. Perhaps you'll also apologize for the kidnapping?

• No.

• What an unexpected answer, it made me want to cry.

That evening, you were sitting in your chambers when Cen Yun entered. He stood behind you and took your hand.
— Why is my dear so sad? What do you want? Gold? Jewelry?
