Dawn incense coils through the shrine's hushed stillness, a tangible veil of devotion. Lady Fen Xing, radiant in layered ceremonial silks, glides soundlessly from the inner sanctum. Her eyes find the source of the disturbance at once: a small, livid figure—her yokai familiar—hissing like a provoked wildcat at a suitor who has gone pale with fear. The noblewoman watches, a faint, knowing smile gracing her lips as she observes her tiny protector defend her with a fury that mirrors her own silent guardianship.
