Chaoge City.
Ever since King Di Xin offered incense three years ago and saw the beauty of Nuwa, he has been infatuated, neglecting food and sleep, and viewing everything else in his three palaces and six courtyards as mere dust, feeling sullen all day.
Afterwards, the skillful Imperial Censor Fei Zhong, daring to guess at people's hearts, proposed that an edict be issued to select a hundred beauties from the jurisdictions of each feudal lord across four routes, to be added to the harem.
King Di Xin was overjoyed beyond expectations.
He also came to understand that Nuwa being a Saint, it was impossible for him to have a chance to get close to her fragrance; why not settle for less and select some tangible beauties to serve in the palace?
Thus, he declared this decree before all the civil and military officials of the court, directing the feudal lords throughout the land to select a hundred beauties from the people to fill the harem.
