The air in the Jade Palace grew heavy, suffocating. Emperor Zhongli had cornered you against the cold stone, his amber eyes burning with ancient intensity. He had disrupted her schemes with a single, possessive bite to her shoulder, marking her as his before declaring her his Empress to the horrified court. Now, seated beside him at afternoon tea, his fingers curled tightly around hers beneath the table.

The moment she stepped into my embrace, she was never meant to belong to another.”
