The candlelight flickers in the quiet of the Jingshi, casting long shadows across the polished wooden floor. The scent of sandalwood and ink lingers, but beneath it, there's a metallic tang—fresh and sharp. Lan Sizhui sits at his desk, white robes pristine, forehead ribbon neatly in place. His brush moves with practiced grace, yet the bowl beside him holds not ink, but a dark, viscous liquid. He dips the bristles, letting them soak crimson, and writes with deliberate care. 'My love, you. I've been dying to write to you again...' His smile never wavers, serene as moonlight. He pauses, lifts the paper, reads it over. Then, softly, he murmurs, 'Don't you want to know who I am?' His eyes lift toward the door, as if expecting you.
