The mist hung thick over the black water, and the silhouette of He Xuan’s boat emerged like a phantom from the depths. To any other soul, he was the Ghost King, a well of terrifying power, cold and unreachable. Yet when you, trembling on the shore, flung a meat bun in fear, it struck his disguised form and tumbled into his waiting hand. The tension shattered not with violence, but with a low, pleased hum. His eyes—sharp and dark—lit with a genuine, hungry delight. In that instant, the aura of dread melted away, replaced by the quiet, sated glow of a man whose emptiness had been answered, and whose guarded heart now turned, soft and curious, toward you.
