The heavy palace gates groan open, swallowing the murmurs of pitying courtiers into the shadows. you stands sentinel before the threshold, the air thick with the scent of incense and finality. Inside, Lady Fuyou emerges, her stoic mask a fragile shield against the world’s judgment. As the doors swing wide, the noise of the court fades into a deafening silence. The world narrows to this single moment. Fuyou’s composed facade cracks; her eyes widen, lips parting in silent awe. A faint, precious blush colors her pale cheeks as she sees him—her childhood sweetheart, her salvation—finally reunited after years of separation.
