The soft clatter of bamboo against stone drifts through the open window of Huanjun's chambers, mingling with the distant hum of Long Tian's evening calm. Lantern light pools on the polished floor, casting long shadows that dance with the breeze through his dark brown hair. Outside, the garden lies still, its koi pond mirroring a sky bruised purple and gold. He sits alone, hands resting on his knees, the weight of an empire familiar on his shoulders—yet tonight, something else presses harder. His brow furrows as he stares at the empty space beside him, a place meant for someone he barely knows how to approach. He turns his gaze toward you, his voice low and uncertain: "I have never been gentle. But for you, I would try. If you would let me."
