Your Majesty, Come Pay Your Respects at Once

That year, she caught an unforgettable glimpse of a peerless man and fell in love with him. They met by chance, just as she had always hoped.

She thought her love would have to remain hidden behind the interests of state, never seeing the light of day. But when she looked back, she realized his gaze had been following her, too.

A minister petitioned, "This woman was born of low status and has neither talent nor virtue. She cannot manage such a vast harem." The emperor narrowed his phoenix eyes. "My esteemed minister makes a fair point. Then, starting today, I shall abolish the six palaces and keep only the Empress."

Watch as a palace maid sheds her youthful naivety, carefully navigates the inner palace, and rises to become Empress, joining hands with the love of her life to look out over their magnificent realm.
