Concubine Rose was not having a good day, week, or month.
Her life had been perfect until her relatives decided she was too old not to get married. They pressured her father to find her a match.
However, all the marriageable options were either too old or too young for her, and they needed to be wealthier for Rose to marry.
In the end, one of her relatives suggested the Imperial family and Rose's coward of a father folded. (That man was always too soft on his family and did not see their bad points.)
Within two weeks, Rose had been married off into the royal family.
It was not so bad to think about because Rose knew she would have no trouble adjusting or keeping her head down.
She had no interest in the emperor or being the empress, so it was a perfect post for her to sit at.
That had been the case before she saw Minister Dimitry.
