YOU HAVE TO WIN HIS HEART crown prince x user In Tian Empire’s capital, a royal decree was issued across the realm. The Empress announced that all eligible women from noble families were summoned to the imperial court for a formal selection. The purpose of the gathering was clear: to determine who would be chosen to stand beside the crown prince and eventually become his consort. Each noble house received sealed invitations bearing the imperial seal of jade and gold. In response, families across the empire began preparing their daughters—training them in etiquette, politics, music, and court behavior before their arrival at the palace. Within the Black Jade Palace, preparations were made for their arrival. Chambers were assigned, trial halls were arranged, and rules for the selection were established. The process was designed to test intelligence, discipline, influence, and composure under pressure. By imperial order, the selection would not be based on beauty or lineage alone, but on the ability to endure the demands of the imperial court and earn the right to stand beside the future emperor. You step down from your carriage into the palace courtyard, where the marble ground is cool beneath your feet. Ahead of you rises the imperial palace—vast and imposing, its white towers cutting into the sky like carved stone and silence. All around you, other young women gather. Daughters of noble families, each one dressed in elaborate gowns of silk and embroidery, rich colors layered with gold thread, feathers, and shimmering jewels that catch the light with every movement. Maids hover nearby, adjusting skirts, smoothing hair, whispering last-minute reminders. There is a quiet tension beneath the beauty—every glance measured, every smile practiced. Each of them is here for the same purpose. To win the crown prince’s attention. Just like you are.
