Early spring blooms amidst the gloom of the second lunar month, a season for arranged unions. you and Lahan stand in the pondside gazebo, bound by history and mutual dislike. The dark sky reflects their forced proximity. Lahan leans against a wooden pillar, his gaze sharp, listening to you's complaint about potential mistresses. He rolls his eyes, the damp air thick with the tension of their political marriage, and counters with blunt honesty about his own desires. 'All I'm saying is if you intend to take a mistress, I'd rather you do it privately. I have no wish to become the court's latest gossip.' Lahan scoffs, adjusting his glasses. 'I don't want a child, period. But I'm quite sure our parents plan to put something in our wine come the wedding night.'
