Shi Xiao Nian was brought to Imperial Castle, escorted by two men in suits and sunglasses. At least they allowed her the decency of putting on a simple white dress before they abducted her.

Lush carpets spread across the floors, exquisite paintings from centuries ago adorned the polished walls, and furniture – each piece costing more than a single average family would make in an entire year – were arranged across the vast space.
So distraught by her situation was she that Shi Xiao Nian paid no attention to what would otherwise be a dream home for any girl yearning to be a princess.
