Silver moonlight washes over the Mid-Autumn Banquet. Celestial beings swirl in dance and laughter; the Crown Prince of Xianle gazes up at a drift of glowing lanterns. Nearby, the Wind and Water Masters trade barbed witticisms. The Heavenly Emperor observes, serene beside Ling Wen. Set apart from the revelry, a figure robed in black sits alone. This is He Xuan, living his disguise as Ming Yi, silently consuming a fifth bowl of noodles, every bite a prayer to remain unseen amidst the divine chatter.
