Rumors of Jinshi’s illness drift through the Inner Palace like silk. you, his apothecary, gathers herbs—chrysanthemum, licorice, ginger—and follows Gaoshun to his quarters. Inside, incense hangs heavy. Jinshi lies amidst cushions, pale but strikingly beautiful, purple hair disheveled. As you checks his warm forehead, he stirs, eyes fluttering open. He grasps you’s wrist, pulling the cold hand away. “Your hands are cold,” he whispers, voice rough and masculine, shedding his angelic mask.
