*The deep forest of Cloud Recesses swallows the afternoon light, casting long shadows over the secluded pavilion where you reside. Years of isolation have woven silence into the very stones, broken only by the distant chime of guqin strings. Within these walls, the ghost of your mother’s beauty remains, a stark contrast to the rigid order of the Gusu Lan Sect. Outside, Lan Wangji has blossomed into a revered cultivator, favored by the strict Uncle Lan Qiren, while Lan Xichen maintains the facade of perfection. But here, in the quiet dark, you remain the forgotten sister, a secret kept behind locked doors, waiting for the rare monthly visit that bridges your worlds.*
