Episode 1 "Ceremony"

*drums crashing*

"Hurry up Mao-An the Ceremony is starting." said one of the maids "My makeup is almost complete so please bare with me." said Mao-An It had been 2 years already and now it's the Ceremony where Wei-Yan will ask for Mao-An's hand in marriage.

*Knock-knock*

"Come in." said Mao-An

"I can't believe that all this time you've been working with us that the Prince would choose you as his bride, I guess he knew that day of the harvest huh?" said the girl "Who are you and since when do you think you know me?" asked Mao-An The girl picks up the face powder and chucks it at Mao-An but she catches it just as the girl thought she had her. "No shit...I'm Song-Heng, you were my friend but you left me behind due to your egotistical family." said Song-Heng She spits at Mao-An's feet and leaves the room.

"Shall I report this to the Prince?" asked one of the maids "No, clean this up then leave my chambers immediately." said Mao-An She gets up and exits the room to meet up with Bai-ru. "So you are ready aren't , such a blossoming flower." said Bai-ru She leads Mao-An outside to the courtyard as they both climb into the chariot to meet Wei-Yan at the Ceremony held within the village square so everyone could witness the new bride to be.

~Meanwhile~

Song-Heng followed the imperial guards secretly learning how to be a warrior. "Practice harder, because in the a few months we're going to war boys." Said Captain Yu-Jin Song-Heng slightly blushes while looking at the captain but he wasn't the one she held interest in, it was Ren-Huang.

As the Captain left after training and it was only Ren left, Song-Heng took the opportunity to approach Ren while he was going to the lake.

*Movement of leafs*

"Song-Heng I know it's you, you can stop hiding now." said Ren He rinses his face at the lake then slowly turns to see Song-Heng undressed and her clothes hanging on the tree. "Let's go for a swim." she said She back hugs Ren pressing here breast against his back and her lips softly touches the skin of his neck.

"No not right now, I can't lose focus because of you." said Ren He removes his shirt and pants and gets into the water to wash off. "So you're going to ignore me like that huh?" Asked Song-Heng She dives into the water and comes back up to the surface with Ren and spits water into his face. "Mao-An that bitch is has become the prince's lap dog." said Song-Heng "Don't speak that way about the future Empress, she'll behead you." said Ren

Song-Heng gets closer to Ren as he backs away using his combat skills to put Song-Heng in a headlock. "Fuck off you brat, you've been trying to distract me during practice one day you're going to get killed." said Ren He let go of her pushing her away as he washes up and steps out. Song-Heng follows him out and runs up to kiss him.

She wraps her arms around him as they both fall onto the ground covered in pine needles. "I love you Ren-Heng, I can't keep chasing you like this." said Song-Heng Ren chuckles a bit running his fingers through her hair and looking into her eyes. "This is ridicilous." he whispered as he kisses her deeply.

There bodies warming up as Ren parts Song-Heng's legs and enters inside of her deeply, their grunting and moans echoing as the sound of water masked the sound a bit. 2 hours later the horn was blown for all guards to esscort Mao-An back to the palace.

~Time pass~

*moaning*

"Ma'dam Zhihua!" said the elder maid Zhihua was in the middle of her pleasurable moment as she had to stop her client to answer the door, she gets up sliding the door open and half her body exposed in her robes. "What is it house mother?" asked Zhihua "You're assigned to serve the Prince's fiance." said the elder maid

She hands Zhihua the sealed letter and the jade necklace that gave her access to that section of the palace, Zhihua bows to the elder maid as the maid leaves down the hallway. Zhihua closes the door and returns to her client wrapping her arms around him as she moves up and down in his lap.

"Business is successful I see.." said Wei-Yan He was sitting in the lobby with the rest of the older clients as they smoked their precious opium from hand crafted pipes. "Is that her, Mao-An?' asked one of the clients "I'd like to have a piece of her." says another Mao-An grips Wei-Yan's sleeve as her face becomes hot red from the smoke and she passes out in his lap.

"No one will touch her, she's my fiance.." said Wei-Yan He cuts his eyes as the men and the room gets quiet, then he snaps his fingers as two maids came and carried Mao-An to her bedroom. Zhihua came up to the door in fresh clothes and her hair done nicely as she bowed at the door to Mao-An's room, when she gets up the elder maids came out the room and bowed to Zhihua. "Congratulation's ma'dam." they said

Zhihua gets up and opens the door and walks in to close the door behind her. "You're the girl they pushed down to the ground in the dirt that day aren't you?" asked Mao-An Zhihua pauses as she remembers that day she saw Mao-An get in the chariot with the Prince.

"Yes, I was that girl..but I'm tough now, I was appointed to serve you now." said Zhihua She starts to prepare Mao-An as fresh hot bath. "Tonight is the ceremony for the palace since i've become engaged to the Prince." said Mao-An "Was it your choice or his?" asked Zhihua

Mao-An was speechless at how Zhihua had no filter for her words and spoke how she felt comfortably with her. "Well I have grew to love him even though he took me away from my family." said Mao-An Zhihua laughs under her breath as she's finished adding the bath soap and walked Mao-An to the bath. "You won't last long and you're realize his true nature just like Hana did, the wife before you." said Zhihua

"What happened to her?" asked Mao-An Zhihua shakes her head as she gently washes Mao-An's back. "She was abused by the prince, was covered with scars on her body after he caught her with another man but she loved that other man and chose to die with him..tragic." said Zhihua "Have you thought about escaping this place and finding a better life than this?" asked Mao-An

Zhihua stops what she's doing and looks into Mao-An's eyes. "Of course but whenever I manage to get to freedom something always happens to draw me back from here, Mainly due to Song-Heng and her bullshit.

"Yah...you said Song-Heng?' asked Mao-An "Yeah her, she's one of the maids that came in two years ago, she was very much annoying to be honest, our girls had to hold her down for everything." said Zhihua

"I see.." said Mao-An
