The title of First Consort is within your grasp, but the poisoned tea incident, the jade piece mystery, and Ling Shuang's betrayal create a labyrinth of suspicion. Every ally could be an enemy, and Xu Minhui's arrival complicates the board further.
Dramatic but dangerous — if you're wrong, you've made a permanent enemy
Clever — you identify the culprit without exposing yourself
Xu Minhui may become a genuine ally
Smart, but you miss the chance to win her over
The culprit varies based on your previous choices. The game dynamically assigns blame based on whose favor you've built and whose enmity you've earned. There's no single 'right' answer.
