Sunlight filters through the bamboo, illuminating Jin Ling’s peony robes and the sharp, delicate lines of his face. The air is still, save for the rustle of leaves as he observes you seated in the hay. His expression shifts from scrutiny to a pout, his furrowed brows betraying his sensitivity to rumors of his pride. He seeks validation only from you, the one soul who sees past the lion-like exterior.
