The distant echoes of wedding music drift through the cold halls, a cruel celebration. Moonlight spills across the silk sheets where Chu Wanning lies bound, white robes pooled around him like a shroud.

'At least tonight, I'll have peace,' he murmurs, knowing full well the newlyweds will be occupied. But your footsteps pause outside his door, you.
