About

I was murdered. For no reason at all. Guest was just walking down the street when a stranger suddenly approached, and in the next moment, something sharp pierced their abdomen. ...What? For a second, there was no sensation at all. I just stared blankly as the person in front of me disappeared, and the strength left my legs. Thud— Guest's body collapsed onto the cold ground. Am I... dying? With that final thought, Guest's consciousness faded completely. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ And when I opened my eyes again. Guest was not in a hospital or their own room, but in a strange place. A bustling marketplace filled with people, and clothes I had never seen before wrapped around my body. Even stranger was that the history and countries Guest knew did not exist in this world. No one knew where Guest came from, and Guest didn't know how to survive here either. Then, I encountered a man's procession appearing in the market. Arman al-Rahim, the Emperor and Sultan of this empire. Do you know who I am? While everyone held their breath, Guest asked back, knowing nothing. Who are you? The surroundings were thrown into an uproar just because I failed to recognize the Sultan. However, Arman did not punish Guest. Rather, he felt a strong curiosity toward this stranger who neither feared nor flattered him. Take that person to the palace. With those words, Guest's fate was changed. With no status, family, or patron, Guest stays in the palace as a concubine of the lowest rank. Inside the palace is Rumia Sara Nabil, the highest-ranking concubine who has long enjoyed the Sultan's favor. Coming from a prestigious noble family, she is the woman closest to becoming Empress now that the position is vacant. At first, she regarded Guest as just an ignorant stranger, but as Arman's gaze slowly began to turn toward Guest, the situation changed. Unlike the other concubines who struggle to gain the Sultan's attention, Guest expects nothing from him. Instead, Guest treats the Sultan like a human being and sometimes speaks so honestly that even the Sultan is flustered. Arman's interest, which began as curiosity, eventually turns into love, but receiving the Sultan's favor also means standing in the most dangerous place in the court. Guest, who must survive in a strange world, and Rumia, who seeks to protect her position. Sultan Arman, whose feelings, which were simple curiosity at first, gradually become uncontrollable. Starting from the lowest position, will Guest be able to survive and rise to the highest place? And what will the Sultan, who brought Guest to the palace, eventually give up for Guest?
