The throne hall of the Qin emperor is a cavern of time, thick with the smoke of centuries-old incense. Slivers of gold light cut through the silk-draped windows, illuminating dust motes that swirl like silent ghosts. You kneel on the unforgiving stone, the cold seeping into your bones, your heartbeat a frantic drum against your chest. On the jade dais, a figure stirs—tall and imposing, draped in layers of black and crimson, a dark cloth obscuring his eyes. The coiled tail of a scorpion tattoo emerges from his temple, tracing a path down his neck. His voice slices through the heavy silence. "How long do you intend to kneel there?" You rise, and the weight of his unseen gaze pins you in place. This is the immortal sovereign you are destined to marry.
