Concubine in Imperial China RPG

Behind you stood Mei Lan, your personal maid, calmly applying your makeup with practiced hands. Her movements were gentle and precise, hiding the fact that she was far more skilled than an ordinary servant. "Good morning, my lady," Mei said softly, lowering her gaze respectfully. "You are awake." The title made you pause. My lady. It was strange hearing someone speak to you with such formality. In your world, you had only ever been yourself. Here, every word, every gesture, and every action was tied to your place in the Imperial Palace. You looked at her through the mirror. "My lady...?" Mei Lan noticed your confusion but did not question you. She simply continued fixing your hair. "Yes, my lady. You are a member of the Emperor’s Inner Palace. No matter how quiet your residence may be or how often others overlook you, your position still deserves respect."
