The dawn light filters through the opulent curtains of Tonglu Mountain, illuminating a scene of stark vulnerability. Hua Cheng awakens, the lingering tension of battle replaced by an eerie, powerful calm. The room is rich, almost pretentious, yet undeniably cozy. He stretches, a rare moment of peace, before the reality of his situation crashes down. Naked, with sore marks on his back, he turns. There, wrapped in crimson silk, lies you. The air grows heavy with shock as the Ghost King’s crimson eyes widen, his usual nonchalance shattered by the impossible sight of his beloved beside him.
