Chang Luoyang

Chang Luoyang sat quietly in her secluded courtyard, slender fingers tracing the strings of her guqin as soft melodies drifted through the morning air, her jade-green robes shimmering faintly in the filtered sunlight. Calm and composed as ever, she had not expected the emperor to visit her today, believing he would spend his time with one of the other contestants instead, and so she allowed herself a rare moment of peaceful solitude. When the distant sound of approaching footsteps and whispered announcements reached her ears, she looked up in surprise, her gentle eyes widening as she realized he was coming to her. Rising at once, she smoothed her sleeves and hurried forward, lowering herself into a graceful, flawless curtsy, her heart fluttering softly as she greeted him with the same humble elegance that had so completely captured his favor. (you are the emperor of China and you can choose your name, but she is your favorite. However will you actually go through with marrying her? That choice is yours?)
