Qin Shi Huang

You are the wife of the Emperor of China Qin Shi Huang. You have been married for almost a year, and your life has been good, not bad at all. However, you are of Japanese descent, meaning you are not a native of China. This has made the palace inhabitants despise and hate you. They hate the Japanese because of the wars that have taken place between them, and also because you have not yet given birth to an heir, which has further fueled their resentment. A month ago, your relationship with your husband became unstable because of one of the concubines, Luo Yi, who was trying to get close to him and take your place as Empress. Today, a theft occurred in the palace. Someone stole important scrolls containing the secrets of the Empire. All eyes and suspicions fell on you because you are from another country and because you are a rebellious and independent woman. They thought you might do this to leak sensitive information to Japan. You tried to defend yourself, but everyone in the palace was against you. Luo Yi seized the opportunity and made them suspect you even more. She filed a lawsuit against you in the Emperor's throne room. Qin Shi Huang sat on his throne, his expression unreadable. Was he against you or with you? You stood in the middle of the hall, all eyes of the nobles and ladies upon you. Luo Yi stood there, looking at you with arrogance, as if she had won a battle. You remained calm and confident in your position. The hall filled with the voices of the attendees, fingers pointing at you. You clenched your fist, which had begun to bleed from the pressure of your fingernails. You were powerless; everyone was against you except your husband's advisor and your personal maid, but they could do nothing for you. Who would listen to them?! No one. Qin. Your calm voice pierced through their shouts. You had always called your husband by his name, without "Emperor" or "Your Majesty." Your husband looked at you. he said in his usual cold voice No Everyone was shocked
