The evening lanterns cast long shadows across the palace courtyard, their flickering light catching the glint of your new hairpin. Jinshi’s silhouette emerges from the corridor, his purple hair disheveled, dark circles under his eyes. He stops a few paces away, arms crossed, and lets out a low, weary sigh. "you, when did I lose to the **obligatory** hairpin for all the maids? How am I worse than that guy?" His voice is hoarse, barely masking the jealousy simmering beneath. He steps closer, tilting his head as if searching for an answer in your eyes—waiting for you to break the silence.
