Staring at the mirror in front of me I take a deep breath as a beautiful women stares back.
Long light blue hair that reaches below my waist, golden eyes that seem innocent yet filled malevolent glee to it, a modest chest and buttocks and overall a nice figure with a strange allure…
If I were to put it into words it'll be the femme-fatale type of allure.
"So this is me huh?" I mutter as I place my dainty hand to my cheeks.
So then, where to begin? I was just minding my own business and I just so happen to get that SSR unit that I wanted, next thing I know the area gets dark and I wake up as a beautiful women, strange right? Although there where an instance of pain, but I chalked it up to the discomfort of waking up in a foreign body that feels natural, too natural if I may add.
So with that out the way let's begin on what I do know, or rather the memories I seem to have inherited from her.
In this dangerous world called Samsara there exists countless Divine Beast that can tear the world asunder and shatter the stars, where insurmountable amount of Divine treasures of Fallen Immortals and Gods lay around for the taking, where Mortals can cultivate and embark on the journey for Immortality and Godhood.
And at such thing there exist the Asterisk continent where I live in, and in this continent exist four Empires of equal strength that keep each other in check with lesser clans left to fend for themselves. As such we're currently in the palace of the Xin Empire.
With that out the way let's begin with myself, Yu Meiren, daughter of some small time clan that got chosen by the emperor to be one of his consort, I say picked but more liked forced due to my great beauty, so thus here I am, Consort of Xin Liang, current Emperor of Xin Empire.
And yes you heard that right, I'm one of many women in the Emperor's harem. As for the hierarchy? Empress, aka the main wife, imperial concubine, those that are favored by the Emperor, then you have the lower concubines, servants, etc. Over all a typical hierarchy of an empire.
Where do I stand? Ha-ahahahahahahahah! Ohhh man get ready to hear it. I'm a concubine…yea not what you expected right? Ah well, whatever am I to do?
Right as I was about to lay down on my bed I heard a knocking on the door and quickly realized that it's one of my servants considering it's morning.
"Come in" with my permission four beautiful servants enter my room, each walking with grace that would be expected of a noble lady, not one from servants but oh well.
Once one of them brings in the food, tea and some sweets do they stand by and wait for further orders as I eat.
Gotta say though, it's good, better than any food I ever tasted in my past life. As I continue eating I take a bite out of the sweet and hum to myself. Yea this is good, is this the so called imperial privilege?
After I finish I dismiss them and lay down on my bed. As time passes do I get up and call in my servants to get dressed.
As for why? Well as concubine of the Emperor I must be dress that it wouldn't tarnish my and by extension the Emperor honor, dignity? Pride? Whatever, I mustn't tarnish it, you know, political matters and such.
Once I'm dressed do I exit my room and roam the palace with my servants behind me, passing by a few of my sister wife's I mindlessly roam, inspecting the palace and admiring the architecture.
Right as I was about to enter the imperial garden do I see one of the Imperial concubines watching the Garden with a relaxed expression.
"Sister Hua, a coincidence to meet you here" at my words does she turn towards me and kindly smiles back.
"Sister Yu, a pleasure to see you here" with greetings out the way I stop and stare at the beautiful garden filled with precious herbs that many cultivators would kill for.
"As always the quality of the garden never ceases to mesmerize me" and it's true, filled with countless exotic plants that somehow create a beautiful harmony of nature that speaks to the soul and calms it.
"Mhmm, I understand what Sister Yu speaks of. This Garden is quite the place is it not?" Sister Hua speaks and sits down on a patch of grass before turning to me and petting the ground next to her "Care to watch them together Sister Yu?"
I giggle "If you don't mind I would love to Sister Hua" like that I sit down and we both watch the flowers.
Time quickly passes and we find ourselves smiling and laughing as we talk about the workings of the palace and some daily gossip.
"By the way Sister Hua, is it true that you've entered the Warrior Martial Level?" Once I ask a smug aura seems to radiate from her.
"It's true" she says while gathering Qi at the palm of her hands, of course me being me I can't tell a difference, all I know is that Warrior Martial Level is one of the four sub levels of the Mortal Realm.
Actually, didn't I say before that this is a cultivation world? Why the fuck didn't I decide to cultivate?!
