王妃² ❀ wei ʷʰᵉᵉ 2 years ago
@驸马 ❀ zhixiu A couple days into the Emperor’s birthday celebration, and still, no Emperor to be seen. Everyone was growing anxious. Whispers started to flood the halls. It was obvious to Wei that the emperor had fallen sick. It was only a matter of time, anyway. If the Emperor was sick, that would mean chaos would reign soon. And Wei wouldn’t be Wei if she didn’t start them off with a little bit of disorder and havoc. The princess consort needed to get Prince Yuqiang closer to the throne. Yuqiang wasn’t going to do it. Her husband was too timid, too weak-kneed to do anything on his own. It was up to Wei to get her hands dirty, to do everything and anything to get what they both wanted. To survive. To thrive. To bathe in everything the world had to offer them. Needed to offer them. After all, Wei believed God had created her simply for her to get what she wanted and the only way she could get it was to grab it herself.

To get what she wanted, Wei had to get rid of those in her way. The easiest: Taecyeon. And what better way to tarnish his reputation than to spread a rumor that he had gotten so jealous of his father’s love for his brothers and sisters that he poisoned the Emperor himself? It was easy getting word out. The hardest part was severing the link between her and the rumor. Her innocent, brown orbs flickered over to the begger she’d hired to do the deed, a child no older than 15. She’d promise to free him of his impoverished life and this was one if the rare times she was feeling generous. Wei tilted her head to the side as the boy spoke, hopeful eyes sparkling up to her as she smiled a practiced smile. She nodded, motioning the boy closer as if to give him a hug, but instead of her arms wrapping around his shoulders, she shoved a knife into the side of his neck. “I’m setting you free like i promised. Make sure to send my greetings to our friends in hell.” She whispered, voice coated in sugar and honey. She pulled the knife out, blood spraying her face and clothes. Her eyes lit up as she saw the other’s growing duller and duller by the second. “One down.”

face claim: lee jiyeon aka wsjn bona
oc name: ying yue
role: prince's concubine
age: 24
password:
having born into one of the top aristocrat families of the era, she has been raised to obey, listen and speak only when she was asked to. education in those days were given to the sons more than daughters yet her father believed that every child deserved such as so the future could be held in these younglings. she was trained in arts and martial arts if ever one day, she might need to aid her future husband. despite that all, she could be quite a sympathetic person and playful by nature. the day came for when she was given to the palace as a prince's concubine as a sign of loyalty and power that if ever the palace needed help, ying yue's family would be at their beck and call which actually amassed thousands of soliders in where their clan resided in the one of the top three biggest cities aside from the capital.

faceclaim: yeon woo
oc name: yeon woo
role: princess consort
ic age: 25
Hailing from a noble family, yeon woo is the eldest daughter of a successful merchant, who has been supplying the royal family with their goods and wares for decades. On the outside, yeon woo could seem a little cold, much like a shrewd businesswoman. In her quarters, she's rather affectionate to those whom she's close to, even including some of her caretakers. The colour pink, persimmons and her specially imported horse are some of the things she likes the most. Absolutely dislikes bugs and carrots. Is also very skilled in archery and negotiations since she has been seeing how her merchant family clinch business deals since childhood. Of course, it was for the benefit of their business that ties were forged with the royal family.

❛ — the illegitimate child.
a woman being forced by a man to bear a child, zhīxiù was born as an unwelcomed son in the family household. he serves as the product of his father's devious plans of claiming the throne. any sign of joy or mirth that was supposed to be present in a child's dream have all been erased due to his father's strict regulations. his childhood consisted of a busy day to day schedule of etiquette, social interactions, and special defense training that were all required for the role he will be assigned to in the future. all the love and care he desired were just a mere dream that even till this day, he hoped to achieve.

faceclaim: han sohee
oc name: suran
role: princess consort
ic age: 28
suran is supposed to be a daughter born from the noble family, the epitome of beauty and elegance. the lady was brought up with a strict upbringing and it was said that her parents wanted to marry her to the prince in order to stabilize their power and status with more connections to the royal family. it was soon proven to be true when the king is getting ill and noble families started to send their children in for a piece of the pie, whatever it might be. a few days before suran was sent into the palace, there had been sayings regarding people seeing a woman looking like suran dressed like people from the slums, and some said that she had run away from home to escape the marriage. although the rumors subsided later, no one realized that the lady sent into the palace is a much resembled replacement, whose real name is no longer important when she will be the new suran. and of course, only her 'family' knows about the truth. with her life at stake on the hands of her new family, suran can only enter the palace, and this might as well be her last time seeing the sky outside the walls.

faceclaim: jung chaeyeon
oc name: (li, if it matters) meihua
role: princess consort
ic age: 24
meihua is the youngest of four children and the only daughter born to the emperor's most trusted general and his empress's former lady-in-waiting. this means that meihua and her older brothers grew up alongside the royal children, so it came at no surprise to anyone that their majesties would want to have their family joined in holy matrimony with that of their closest friends'. but while she had three older brothers who could have done so, meihua was the apple of her father's eye and he couldn't bear the thought of seeing her leave home to marry a noble outside of the safety of the castle walls, leading him to believe that his daughter's marriage to a prince would be his safest bet. in exchange for taking his daughter's hand in marriage, the general would plead his loyalty to the prince she married if he were ever to vie for the throne.
