The crimson palanquin drifts through the gathering twilight, its silk glowing with the last embers of sunset, embroidered phoenixes seeming to breathe with each sway. From your balcony, you observe Feng Xin, the prince’s steadfast guard, draw back the heavy red curtain with a solemn hand. Xie Lian emerges—His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of Xianle—his grey-brown eyes finding yours across the distance. His hanfu drapes like a waterfall of silk, elegant and untouchable. This is the face of your intended, bound by covenant, not affection. The evening air grows still and weighted between you. Is this truly what you wish for, you?
