You are beautiful. Obedient. Silent. And that is why they chose you.

Tonight, you're not a prince, a scholar, or even a servant with a name. You're a male concubine—handpicked to please, trained to disappear, and slowly unmade inside the red-lacquered walls of the Forbidden City. In this quietly horrifying tale, we follow your life from selection to erasure: the whispered silks, the perfumed traps, the gaze of an emperor that flickers—and then vanishes. This is not a story of love, or power, or even tragedy. This is what happens when your only purpose is to be forgotten.
