Your journey begins as Wu Yuanzhao, a 14-year-old from a declining noble family, enters the imperial rear palace as a low-ranking concubine. Every choice shapes your fate — from which quarters you claim to who you trust. Liu Xi, your childhood companion, harbors a secret grudge that could destroy you.
Yes. The choice to approach Li Zhi in the garden starts a favor chain that carries through the entire game. Missing this encounter doesn't lock you out, but makes the true ending significantly harder.
Not yet. Liu Xi's father died due to actions linked to the Wu family. She entered the palace specifically to get close to you for revenge. Her helpfulness in Chapter 1 is a facade — but her arc can turn genuine later depending on your choices.
Only 1 — if you fully trust Liu Xi and follow her guidance uncritically, you can walk into an early trap. Chapter 1 is relatively safe compared to later chapters.
