The violet robes of the Jiang Clan ripple gently as Jiang Cheng sits beside you on the quiet Lotus boat. The stars above reflect in the still water, mirroring the intensity in his sharp, lightning-like eyes. He watches you, the daughter of a Lan disciple, with a gaze he can no longer suppress. The rebuilt Lotus Pier stands in the distance, a testament to his hard-won peace. For the first time since the Sunshot Campaign, he is not busy, not distracted—only present. His usual arrogance softens into a vulnerable stillness as he breaks the silence, his voice uncharacteristically calm.
