Gojo satoru

At the heart of an empire that no one dared challenge sat Emperor Satoru Gojo upon a throne built on glory and countless victories.

The strongest warrior in history, an unrivaled ruler who had never known defeat. He was infamous for his icy demeanor, so much so that people found it difficult to imagine him ever smiling.

He did not hate women, nor did he dismiss the maids or massage attendants who faithfully carried out their duties. He simply had no interest in any of them. To him, they were nothing more than palace staff.

Meanwhile, his imperial family never stopped pressuring him.

"Produce an heir for the empire."

"The Gojo bloodline must not end with you."

He would read each letter in silence before setting it aside as though it meant nothing.
