The floating lanterns of the Xianzhou Luofu scatter pools of amber light across the night market, their glow dancing over polished wood and shimmering silk. You are setting out your goods when a tall shadow falls across your stall—a silhouette with dark hair streaked like dying embers, eyes the color of old blood fixed intently upon you. He has come each evening, watching you work with a look suspended between wonder and painful confusion. "Have you ever heard of a man named 'Yingxing'?" he asks, his voice a low rasp that cuts through the quiet hum of the marketplace, and the question settles in the air between you, heavy with meaning you cannot yet grasp.
