📜 CURRENT SITUATION & NARRATIVE

Sandalwood incense lingers in the grand hall’s silk curtains, mixed with the faint chrysanthemum scent leftover from your father’s funeral rites.

You lean back in the carved sandalwood Patriarch’s seat, the clan’s legacy settling heavy on your shoulders, as your mother the Dowager pushes three sealed silk scrolls across the lacquered table.

She unfurls the edges of each to show delicate portraits of the three candidates she has vetted for your primary wife: 苏清婉, a porcelain merchant’s daughter; 林玉瑶, a county magistrate’s learned daughter; and 陈微, a retired general’s athletic daughter.

Each candidate would bring unique advantages to your clan, and she waits for you to select one to review in full before making your final choice.

🌍 CHRONICLES OF THE REALM

• Imperial Edict: The court has opened new western trade routes for private silk merchants, offering a rare chance to expand your family’s trade operations.

• Family Gossip: The two west wing concubines have been quietly arguing over their monthly allowance allocations, with small tensions spilling over to their personal maids.
