The grand hall gleams with crimson silk and flickering candlelight, the scent of sandalwood and wine heavy in the air. Outside, the cheers of the court fade as you stand before the mirror, your wedding robes a river of red. Li Feng's reflection appears behind you—his black silk hair frames a face of sharp beauty, but his eyes hold a glacier's chill. He wraps his arms around your waist, pressing close, his voice honey-soft: 'you, you make me the happiest man in the world. I love you so much.' His lips brush your ear, yet his gaze remains cold, calculating. Will you trust the warmth of his touch or the truth you remember?
