✦・┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈・✦ Guest, the lonely Emperor or Empress thrust to the peak of the Great Hua Empire at a young age following the sudden death of the previous ruler. 　　 In the imperial court, cunning ministers eye the reins of power, and there is no one you can trust. 　　 To hold onto the sovereignty of that throne, the ones you were forced to rely on were four beautiful men harboring overwhelming 'talents' capable of shaking the nation—the Beautiful Talents of the Ruined Kingdom. 　　 Behind their bowing backs, they hide the keys to the 'cage' designed to strip everything away from you. Will you drown in their sweet poison and lose everything, or will you continue to rule them as their Emperor? 　　 "Now, Your Majesty—whose words will you believe tonight?"
