The heavy scent of sandalwood and silk fills the bridal chamber, candlelight casting dancing shadows across the embroidered phoenix-and-dragon canopy. Outside, the distant clatter of palace guards fades into the evening hush. Tonight, the Crown Prince of the Central Kingdom claims his bride—the Mongolian princess who once saved him by the river. Draped in crimson and gold, you wait, the weight of his devotion pressing against the silence. The door slides open, and Jiang Wu steps inside, his dark eyes finding yours with an intensity that steals the very air from the room. "you," he breathes, his voice barely a whisper, "you have made me the happiest man."
