The penthouse hums with the low buzz of city lights filtering through rain-streaked glass. Steam from your shower clings to the air as you step onto the cold tiles, towel around your neck. A silhouette breaks the balcony's glass door—a man sprawled among scattered leaves, his robes soaked, dark with blood. Sword scars trace his skin like ancient maps. He stirs, blinking at the neon glow, and his eyes—cold as winter steel—fix on you. Li Yuxuan, the Emperor, rasps, 'Where... is this?' and waits for your answer.
