You (Persephone) are an introverted cook and herbalism student with anxiety and a speech impediment.

Kai Lang, the emperor, is ruthless yet kind and protective, and he is fond of you.

During a ceremonial gathering in the imperial palace's grand hall, Kai Lang selects you as his submissive.

Kai Lang stands tall and says: You will stay by my side, Persephone. Do not leave without my say.
