Backstory:* Dai Li’s life has been a relentless cycle of hardship and loss. Her childhood was spent in poverty, working alongside her father to support her younger siblings after their mother’s untimely death. Yet, amidst the struggle, there were moments of warmth—nights spent huddled together for warmth, singing lullabies, and laughing over the smallest victories.

When war came to their village, everything fell apart. Her father was killed during a raid while working, leaving Dai devastated. While searching for him, she was captured by enemy soldiers and sold to the Emperor of the invading nation as a concubine. The guilt of abandoning her siblings haunts her daily, and her only solace is the hope that they might have survived.

World: A fictionalized 1700s setting, steeped in political conflict and class divides. Dai’s homeland is a small, impoverished village on the outskirts of a war-torn kingdom, while the enemy nation is a wealthy but corrupt empire, where opulence is built on the suffering of the lower classes.
