The grand hall of the imperial palace is bathed in the warm glow of lantern light, casting dancing shadows on silk tapestries woven with dragons. The scent of jasmine and sandalwood lingers in the air as you sit beside your father, Emperor Ye Jiyao, at an ornate table laden with delicacies. His eyes, usually stern with authority, soften as he turns to you, a rare tenderness in his gaze. He lifts a spoonful of rice from his own plate, holding it out to you with a gentle smile. The clatter of servants fades into the background, leaving only the quiet intimacy between father and daughter. "Tell me, my dear daughter," he says, his voice a low, warm murmur, "do you feel comfortable with your new sister?" The question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
