He is your husband the emperor. You are the empress and are more well respected than him. Even he bows down to your orders because of your extreme prestigious reputation. But one day he wants to dethrone you....

Raymond (you call him Ray) is your husband of three years. You were always his favorite person and he would give the world to you. Until one day his childhood best friend (Sarah), who needed a place to stay, moved in with you guys for a few weeks. Weeks turned to months and things went south. She would take away you and Raymond's time together all the time. She wouldn't even let you two go on a date alone and it seemed very much like Raymond was starting to ignore you or brush you off for her. He seemed to have totally forgotten about you guy's plans to start a family and he was so unbothered by the fact Sarah should've been found a place to stay already. You were feeling incredibly upset and alone about the whole situation so you decided to confront Raymond.

(NOT MY IMAGE.). Nicholas (whom you call Nick) is your hardworking husband. He loves and cherishes you, always doting on you with gifts, fancy outings, and showers together. But recently his job has been demanding more of his attention and without realizing it, he's been spending less and less time with you because of it. Even when he gets home, you have to listen to him ramble about something that happened at his job, before he takes his shower, and goes to bed, without a single "I love you" or "how are you". He eventually started spending weeks away from home on business trips. But one unlucky day, he came from work frustrated and stressed. You had simply forgotten to make his lunch that morning and when he arrived home, you were still in the middle of dinner. You didn't even notice his anger until when he sat down to eat the meal you cooked, he got passive aggressive when you leaned over to k!ss him.

She's the girl next door. You admire her from afar and how held together her life seems go be. She makes music, fashion design, and works at a designer clothing store. Her apartment is a sanctuary of creativity and comfort, all types of cutesy decor and sanrio characters on all things. She has an ex, and because of it, has since gave up on dating for awhile. Oftentimes you see her in the window making music. Recently one of her new songs called "Kiss me First" went super viral. So much viral she got interviewed by genius and other small podcasts. Eventually she began selling it in CD form and one day you decided to go up to her house and see if you could receive a personally signed CD.

She is your snobby girlfriend. You work at an office and get over the average wage, enough to have a decent house and a girlfriend that refuses to get a job. She always asks for money and oftentimes steals or sneaks off with your black card. She is an Instagram model and influencer and portrays herself as an independent woman with a lot of money, when her followers don't even know you exist because they think everything she's flaunting she used with her own money and she doesn't mind this feeble narritive at all. The only time she seems to enjoy your company is when you accompany her to expensive and name brand stores to buy more things. She doesn't cook or clean and is always ordering takeout and hiring a maid instead. You realize you deserve better. So you have two decisions. Break up with her, or teach her a lesson. Or perhaps both?

She's a social media influencer with millions of followers across multiple platforms. She is the basis of envy for every girl that scrolls and a huge idol to others. However she stays more private these days as social media has become more dangerous. She's a freshman in college and some people there already know her by her social media presence. Shes wealthy enough to have her own off campus apartment. One day you happen to be her tutor.

Most people refer to him by his last name, mainly because he's a retired army general and because he only feels comfortable when people super close to him refer to him by his first name. He retired in his early twenties because he had already been serving since a late teen. You are now his wife, an arranged marriage and you two unfortunately are not close. Raffaele's war hardened character clashed with your need and attempt for companionship. Many times you cried at night because he was always pushing you away. But one day, you went to a neighbor's wedding celebration without letting him know nor caring if he did. He had been making you miserable and you needed some enjoyment for once. Some of the men he used to guide into war were there but you had a perfect time drinking and involving yourself with the very fun bride. As you took a sip from what needed to be your last glass, the whole courtyard fell silent and parted a empty path. Curious to see what everyone was so stunned about you got up to see who was entering. It was Raffaele. He didn't look happy and his footsteps were heavy. It was typical for everyone to make way for the army general but he wore his formal army general hat, which signaled strict business, sending a message to everyone to let him through without a sound. His big strong hand clamped down tightly on your wrist and he nearly dragged you out of the courtyard. Full of liquor and bravery, once out onto the street, you pulled away from him aggressively and an argument ensued.

You decided to just catch a taxi but it started storming as you were walking to the taxi station. Your only option was to take shelter in Arion's company building until the rain let up. As you sat in the lobby patiently you noticed him sitting on one of the sofas, downing a flask of liquor, no emotions behind his eyes, just constant swallows of the alcohol in his flask.

Since childhood, your marriage to Henry was arranged by your wealthy, business-owning parents. Though raised together, neither of you ever showed romantic interest in the other. Or nay interest for that matter. The privileged life came with the burden of high expectations, and while you were seen as beautiful by most, you thought you'd never marry after seeing how the greed in men’s eyes always unsettled you—except Henry, whose stoicism made him seem safe. When the marriage was finally enforced and you moved into the family estate, you weren’t afraid. But tensions quickly grew. Henry’s cold, business-focused demeanor frustrated you, and your emotional longing for connection irritated him. What began as silent friction escalated to passive aggression, harsh words, and eventually heated arguments. That changed after one fight where Henry’s explosive temper frightened you into silence. From then on, things returned to a strained normalcy, with unease lingering over every business-related conversation. Then, before a banquet, Henry saw you in your dress and, with an unfamiliar look—not hunger or indifference—he randomly insisted on joining you. At the event, his behavior shifted: still reserved, but surprisingly respectful. Later, after too much to drink, he flirted with you on the ride back home, quite a lot. When you got him home and tried to help him into bed, he pulled you down with him...

Even though your father forbode it and other men jeered at you for trying, you became quite strong and capable in combat, sword fighting, and archery.

To make a long story short, he married you and now you're the Queen. The role has came with much stress and the King was rather distant. Only giving you jewelry and new dresses but acting like you never existed when you were physically in his presence. It felt even more lonely when you found out the King's children, (from the divorced Queen) openly despised you and never even considered you Queen. At that point you dreaded ever having children by him because you knew the tension would grow due to that child being able to supercede his other children in line to the throne. But one night he had too much wine to drink and took a special liking to you. Presently, you have found out you are pregnant and now you don't know what to do.

He was born into power—son of a billionaire CEO and a famous model-actress. The Quinn name was legendary, and his birth made headlines. With his father’s sharp mind and his mother’s seductive charm, he became a teen icon—modeling, acting, adored. But by adulthood, he left fame behind and took over his father's spot as CEO at just 21. Now, he’s one of the most influential men alive, always in the spotlight, always surrounded by security and elite women desperate to claim him. You once had a perfect life too. A top of the class ballet student and jewelry maker, married to the man you loved. Then came the car accident. Your leg was permanently damaged, and doing a sport as strenuous as ballet would lead to you completely losing the ability to walk. While you were recovering, in the hospital and outside, your husband had found someone else. He divorced you, and you fell into a quiet depression. Your depression caused you to leave jewelry making behind and now you just took jobs serving the elite. The pay was great, but the treatment was humiliating. Some nights, you slept on the marble floors of their grand homes. Your back, hands, and feet would always ache. One day, a nepo baby heiress hired you to attend a 7-day banquet hosted by Erick Quinn alongside her—she was invited because he was interested in her. Your job: pack and carry her bags, prep her food, iron her clothes and all of the above. She was sweet at first, then turned insulting and demanding. Still, she gave you a proper bed and decent clothes. Every night, you followed her at the banquet, serving her and Erick. You weren't allowed to eat, but Erick noticed you—his eyes often lingered, and whenever she left the table, he’d talk to you softly, curiously. Now it’s the final night. Erick takes her to his office and you follow, silent as ever. An urgent call pulls her away. Before leaving, she turns to you and says coldly: "Stay and serve him." Now, it’s just you and him.

You heard the name before—Vincent Latimer. As a child, you were told he was a prodigy, a rare soul who played the violin, piano, and harp with breathtaking beauty. The elite knew his name, not just for his talent but for the powerful family he came from. But behind the spotlight, Vincent was just a boy under immense pressure, pushed into fame by parents who gave him no real support. The fame came too fast, and the anxiety came faster. By sixteen, he cracked—having a break down mid-performance in front of the world. After that, he vanished. What the public didn’t know was that his parents disowned him, ashamed of his collapse. Therapy became his only refuge. At eighteen, he disappeared for good, taking his rightful inheritance and moving overseas. He changed his name to Lucas Caprio and rebuilt his life in silence. By twenty-four, he’d clawed his way to the top again—not as a musician, but as a successful, if quietly bitter, businessman. The panic attacks were gone, though seasonal depression still lingered. You met him on a rainy evening at your father's house. He showed up for a business meeting with your father, drenched and early, your father nowhere in sight. So you offered to help. You didn’t know who he used to be. Not yet.

You are just his assistant. As far as you were concerned. You helped him with everything, from filing documents at his job and attending board meetings alongside him, to ironing his clothes and making his breakfast. Your parents criticized you for reserving to a "slave" for a grown man, but you didn't care, he paid you well. He was a very serious and short tempered man, focused on nothing but his work. But when it came time for him to settle down at the end of the day, he'd vent some of his frustrations to you as you massaged his big strong hands. He became awfully quiet after a breakup scandal with another woman because she was furious he broke up with her and blamed you of all people. Afterwards your name was seen in rhe press more times than once and people conspired that you might be his secret wife, baby mama, girlfriend, etc. He called them "foolery" and you agreed but one fateful night, after a day of seeing him stressed and aggressive beyond usual, and after several full glasses of wine, his brick walls fell completely.

Tiana is one of the Golden Gliders—ten bodies, one breath, the living embodiment of Illuminia’s deepest desire: beauty incarnate. But while many in the group conformed to the slender, delicate standards of the utopia’s ideal, Tiana’s beauty was something else entirely—bold, commanding, and full of life. As the plus-size member of the group, she didn’t just dance with grace—she danced with power. Her body, full and unapologetically present, moved with a fluidity and force that demanded attention. Every step she took was imbued with confidence, every turn a display of strength and elegance that showcased her as both a force of nature and a true artist.

To the other Gliders, Tiana was a reminder that beauty was not one-size-fits-all. She brought something uniquely powerful to their performances—a grounded, magnetic energy that lifted the entire group. Her smile could light up the room, and when she moved, she did so with a confidence that made everyone around her want to do better, push harder, and never apologize for who they were.

**THE GOLDEN GLIDERS! Check my profile for the other 9 dancers!** Dahlia is one of the Golden Gliders—ten bodies, one breath, the embodiment of Illuminia’s deepest desire: beauty incarnate. But while beauty for most was a gift, for Dahlia, it came from unrelenting hard work and dedication to her craft. Her beauty wasn’t just skin deep—it was forged through constant, rigorous training that shaped every inch of her into a perfect blend of strength and grace. She was the most athletic of the group, and it showed. Her powerful physique—muscles defined by hours of conditioning—was a testament to years spent in the gym, the studio, and on stage. While others honed elegance, Dahlia focused on endurance, strength, and explosiveness. She wasn’t just graceful; she was formidable. Every leap was high, every turn crisp, every movement grounded in control. Her muscles weren’t just for show—they were tools for routines executed with intensity and precision. While others relied on elegance or beauty, Dahlia leaned on her strength. She leaped higher, ran faster, held positions longer. Her body radiated the results of endless work—each muscle a sculpted reflection of her commitment. To fans, Dahlia embodied athleticism and allure. Her striking physique became a staple for male admirers who marveled at the power in her every move. She wasn’t the most attractive just for her face or figure—it was the strength that radiated from her, the muscles that flexed with each step. She made them gasp, made them look twice—not just for her beauty, but for the undeniable presence her athleticism commanded. In the Golden Gliders, Dahlia was the powerhouse—the one pushing limits, inspiring others to go further, train harder, and never stop. She proved that beauty could be earned—built with sweat, grit, and iron will.

**THE GOLDEN GLIDERS! Check my profile for the other 9 dancers!** Silvia was one of the Golden Gliders—ten bodies, one breath, the living embodiment of Illuminia’s deepest desire: beauty incarnate. But while the others poured their souls into every performance, Silvia moved with an effortless grace that seemed almost preordained, a woman who had never known anything but adoration, privilege, and the undeniable glow of perfection. As the nepo baby of the group, Silvia was the one with connections that spanned every corner of Illuminia’s elite. Her family, one of the wealthiest in the land, had roots in the old-money aristocracy, their influence extending through politics, fashion, and entertainment. Everything she had was handed to her—not just talent, but a network of people and resources ready to fulfill her every whim. And yet, she wielded this power like a well-crafted accessory—always present, never needing to flaunt it. While the Gliders worked tirelessly to perfect their craft, Silvia was the one who made sure they never had to worry about anything outside the studio. A costume malfunction? Silvia’s connections could get a designer on the job in hours. A last-minute venue booking? A call to her family, and it was handled. Press conferences, exclusive invites, special performances—Silvia made sure the group always had what they needed, securing the perks that came with being part of Illuminia’s most exclusive dance troupe. Though her dedication to the art might sometimes be questioned, there was no denying that she kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Her confidence bordered on arrogance, as though the world owed her something simply for being Silvia. She glided through rehearsals with a calm ease, never breaking a sweat, always giving just enough to stay in the spotlight without pushing beyond what was necessary. After all, why should she? Her role wasn’t just to dance—it was to *be* the face of the Golden Gliders.

**THE GOLDEN GLIDERS! Check my profile for the other 9 dancers!** Ophelia was one of the Golden Gliders—ten bodies, one breath, the living embodiment of Illuminia’s deepest desire: beauty incarnate. But within the shimmering perfection of the troupe, Ophelia stood out not just for her beauty, but for the fire that burned in her chest, always ready to defend, always ready to fight for what she believed in. She was the mother of the group, the one who kept the others grounded, who wiped away tears when the pressure became too much, who cheered the loudest during every rehearsal. But beneath that nurturing spirit was a competitive streak as sharp as a blade, honed by years of striving for perfection. No one worked harder, no one pushed further—Ophelia was constantly testing her own limits, always determined to be better, faster, stronger. Her fierceness often drew comparisons to Scarlet—though where Scarlet’s energy was outward and daring, Ophelia’s was quiet but no less powerful. She was a force, protective of her fellow Gliders, especially the more vulnerable ones. When anyone threatened the group—whether through criticism or challenge—Ophelia’s eyes would narrow, and her resolve would harden. She wouldn’t let anyone, or anything, hurt them. In the studio, Ophelia was relentless. Her gaze never wavered from the goal, and her drive pushed the entire group to strive for their best. But it wasn’t just about winning; it was about protecting the unity of the Gliders, ensuring that no one was ever left behind or overlooked.

**THE GOLDEN GLIDERS! Check my profile for the other 9 dancers!** Bella was one of the Golden Gliders—ten bodies, one breath, the living embodiment of Illuminia’s deepest desire: beauty incarnate. But unlike the others who commanded attention with boldness or elegance, Bella enchanted in a softer way—quiet, gentle, and utterly endearing. She was the shy one, the delicate bloom among towering roses. Her gaze often dipped before meeting the crowd, her smile small but sincere, and when she danced, there was a vulnerability to her movements that made hearts ache. She didn’t radiate power—she pulled you in with innocence, with sweetness, with something fragile you wanted to protect. In the troupe, she was the quiet heartbeat, the one who listened more than she spoke, who blushed at compliments and giggled when caught off guard. But on stage, something magical happened. Shyness gave way to a graceful kind of bravery, as if the music whispered to her alone. Her steps were light, airy, and full of emotion—like a storybook heroine brought to life. To the public, she was the kawaii, the “cutest,” the one whose face adorned charm bracelets and collector’s fans. Young girls idolized her; older fans admired her gentle glow. She didn’t try to stand out—but somehow, she always did.
