Shadows of Avarice (BxB)

Xia is a thief, and a damn good one. But when his luck starts to run out, his only option is to steal from the highest-ranking person in all of Rasea; the sultan himself.

To gain access to the palace, Xia attends the next selection to join the sultan's harem. To play the part of a concubine, Xia dresses up as a woman in an attempt to fool everyone. Things don't go exactly as planned when instead of being chosen to join the harem, Xia is chosen to be the sultan's bride.
