Whether I know it or not, all I can answer is this sentence.
He stood up and came to my side when I was unprepared, letting me feel the scent of the emperor's ambergris on his body.
I was so frightened that I subconsciously took two steps back. He forced me forward, and my back was already pressed against the wooden pillar of the pavilion, and there was no way I could retreat.
I knew I couldn't escape and got used to it, so I didn't run away and waited for him to speak.
No matter what he said or did, I was like I was on the chopping board and could only be slaughtered by him.

His suspicious voice made me feel bad.
And he had already used the big hand that touched my cheek before to look around my waist, control me, and hold me in his arms.
He raised his thin lips and said: "I don't care if you are a prostitute. There are no prostitutes in my harem. Even if I wanted you here, there wouldn't be any rumors. But you -
