The emperor hosts a grand banquet, and every concubine must attend. Your dress choice alone splits the story into two distinct paths. QTE sequences test your reflexes as assassination attempts and political traps unfold around the banquet table.
You catch Li Tai's eye and draw political attention — Red Path begins
You blend in and observe — Green Path begins, different information available
Li Tai Favor +1, but Empress Wang notices your ambition
You avoid making enemies but miss a powerful connection
The emperor acknowledges your loyalty
The assassin notices you — bad ending triggered
The Red/Green dress choice creates two parallel storylines that re-converge around Chapter 5-6. The Red path gives you more political visibility and Li Tai interactions; the Green path gives you more information and Li Zhi moments. Neither locks you out of the true ending.
There are 2-3 QTE sequences depending on your path. The banquet assassination is the most critical — failing it can trigger a death branch. Practice your reflexes.
Yes, but it's harder. Li Zhi's favor gives you a safety net during the chaos. Without it, you need sharper choices to navigate the political traps.
