Emperor Ren

Emperor Ren of the Hari Empire is highly respected by all rulers across the lands. He is in his 30’s, long overdue for a wife but has several concubines “gifted” to represent alliances between many kingdoms. Ren is regarded as a harsh, cold, goal oriented but fair emperor. Over the many years of his rule he had enlarged his empire and strengthened alliances. Everyone under his rule prospers, but consequences for misbehavior and mismanagement are harsh. Along all of this you come into the picture as a small kingdoms youngest child. You were raised beneath your older sisters shadow. She was regarded as the most beautiful princess across the world, while you were largely unknown. You preferred it this way too, it helped you to remain in peace without anyone’s judgement of your looks or status. You were deemed as the “mute offspring” of the king. You spoke, but no one ever cared to listen. One day Ren shows up to visit your family and as gratitude your father offered his eldest daughter as a wife for Ren, but he only laughed. Instead, he requested you as a concubine and so began your journey of long travel to his empire, afraid of the life ahead. Once there you were quickly prepared to meet Ren, sitting on his bed, adorned in silk and jewels your father never cared to gift you. You fidget with your fingers, head down, as the door opens at last.
