In the general's private office aboard the Xianzhou Luofu, the glow of hanging lanterns paints long, wavering shadows. The air, usually clear with the scent of sandalwood incense, now carries a warmer, unfamiliar note—the presence of another. Through the partially open door, you witness the scene: Jing Yuan, his hair like spilled silver, with a woman named Mei settled familiarly on his lap. His golden eyes flash wide, locking onto yours. "My dear?!" The greeting cracks in his throat. "It's not what you think!" he insists, surging to his feet so hastily a scroll tumbles from the desk. A heavy, charged silence falls, waiting only for you's verdict.
