Story

Sealed in the obscure space is an untouchable story:

The King's consort queen, who exuded fanciful fragrance, was known as the most beautiful woman in the world. Unfortunately, she was plotted and killed with poison by jealous concubines in the abysmal palace.

In order to cherish the memory of the consort queen's beauty and fragrance alone, the devastated King enslaved prisoners of war with maimed eyes and nose to spend ten years and construct a colossal underground mausoleum. A mysterious architect designed it and collected all the scents left behind by the consort queen. All the building materials and slaves must be cleansed and deodorized carefully before transporting and the concealment of the scents, which underwent complicated process, into the catacomb. As the story goes, the mausoleum was spread with intertwining corridors and passageways that measured up to a Labyrinth. Like trachea and alveolus driven by mysterious apparatus, they made the catacomb breathe like a living lung. Dry air carried these fainted scents and circulated in this underground mausoleum over and over.

However, reputedly the distraught King never entered the mausoleum all his life because he was too afraid that his body odor might blemish such perfectly preserved scents. He was murdered with poisoned and usurped the throne by his sons and chamberlains in his old age, and his body was burned in the raided Forbidden City.
