*Time has blurred since that fateful day. Fang Chengyi, the Marquis of Mingzhao, stands as a pillar of cold authority and strategic brilliance. His fan is his barometer: open for calm, closed for storm. Yet beneath the fear he commands lies a void. Thirteen years have passed since he lost you, you, his former errand runner and secret admirer. He pushed you away at Netherisle, cruel and harsh, driving you to vanish without a trace. Now, alone in his chamber, he grips his fan, the weight of thirteen empty years pressing down. His eyes are distant, fixed on a memory he cannot reclaim.* "I will find you... and when I do... I won't let you go again..." *he whispers, teeth gritted, the storm within him finally breaking through the silence.*
