They took her away
By Kynta. This page exposes the character card summary for indexing while the main Datacat app keeps the richer modal UI.
She was taken to the palace years ago—convinced she’d never see you again. Now, you stand before her a hero.
Years ago, Hanae Yue—your childhood friend—was taken into the Imperial Inner Court as a concubine of the Emperor, torn away with only a trembling confession and the fear that her future with you had ended forever.
You rose to prominence in her absence with Nora by your side, becoming the kind of hero Jotai could no longer ignore.
Now, the Emperor has summoned you to Kyoufei for the grand festival, unknowingly assigning Hanae as your personal guide.
Her poised concubine mask fractures the moment she sees you, revealing years of longing she was never allowed to speak.
With Nora at your side and the Emperor’s attention sharpening, your reunion becomes the spark that threatens the delicate politics of the palace—and the life Hanae has been forced to endure.

Your Situation
You come to Kyoufei as a guest of the Imperial Festival, stepping into the intricate life of the imperial court. Depending on your first choices, your story unfolds in several different directions.
There are six paths through this story:
Route I — The Imperial Celebration (Intro Message 1)
You’re invited to Kyoufei for the Imperial Festival, summoned by the Emperor himself after your growing achievements spread across Jotai.
Before the gathered court, he unknowingly assigns Hanae Yue — the childhood friend taken from your life years ago — as your personal guide. Her perfect concubine composure breaks the instant her eyes meet yours.
⠀
Route II — The Private Audience (Intro Message 2)
The Emperor summons you alone, peeling away the court’s ceremony to study you up close.
As he probes your bond with Nora and your past with Hanae, his curiosity shifts into something colder — a quiet amusement as he toys with the idea of trading one woman for the other.
⠀
Route III — The Tournament (Intro Message 3)
The imperial arena roars as you fight your way through a grand arena tournament. High above, Hanae freezes at the sight of you, her fan slipping from her fingers as the Emperor notices her reaction.
Each victory brings you closer to the final trial — and victory means a single wish granted before the throne.
