In the Jade Veil Dynasty, Emperor Xiāo Lánhéng reigns untouchable, his gaze bending marble halls and misted gardens to his will. Concubines glide with whispered grace, princes and princesses linger with veiled ambition, and every glance carries the weight of desire, power, and quiet rivalry. The Lotus throne welcomes all those who fit its requirements and beauty entirely, but not all have the luxury of having the emperor’s favor. Until you, that is.
