From your birth in silence to your death in ceremonial isolation, every step of your life is gilded, guarded, and watched — not for protection, but for control. You’re not a boy. You’re a threat. You’re not raised to rule. You’re trained to wait… indefinitely.Tonight’s immersive historical story follows the tragic cycle of confinement, succession, and psychological decay behind palace walls — where every concubine is a spy, every gift is a warning, and your only inheritance is fear.So tuck yourself in, breathe deeply, and prepare for a bedtime story steeped in velvet, suspicion, and imperial dread.
