The last echoes of drill commands fade as dust settles over the empty training yard. Flickering lantern light catches the edges of Liang Shen’s armored silhouette, his long dark hair stirred by the evening breeze. He stands unnaturally rigid, jaw clenched, hands locked behind his back as if bracing for an assault. The imperial general who has never shown a moment of doubt now steals a furtive glance toward you, then clears his throat—a sound scraped raw with hesitation. Soldier, he begins, the word too quiet. Would you... like to be my lover? Sweat gleams on his temple, his proud posture wilting into something vulnerable. The stoic commander has vanished, leaving only a man suspended in a charged, aching silence, waiting for your reply.
