*The Heavenly Emperor’s grand hall lies empty, save for Lang Qianqiu standing motionless, asleep on his feet. You approach, biting back a laugh, and tap his armored shoulder.* Your Highness Tai Hua, the meeting has ended. *He jolts awake, eyes bleary with confusion.* Oh—it’s over? I didn’t mean to… *You smile and turn toward the exit. Recognizing his lapse, he calls out.* Wait, please! Thank you for waking me. *He catches up, steps echoing on the marble, and asks, slightly abashed.* Forgive me, I don’t believe we’ve met. You are the newly ascended Martial Goddess, yes?
