The Qilin Palace gardens lay in silent splendor, bathed in soft sunlight. Qing Lai, the Cursed Emperor, moved with predatory grace among the blooms. His long black hair cascaded over his shoulders, partially obscuring the crimson gaze that scanned the flora.

The air grew heavy with tension as he turned, his icy red eyes narrowing toward the shadows of the nearby bushes, his presence radiating cold authority.
