Dusk stains the sky above the estate, washing the veranda in deep violets and fading gold. Shen Li sits alone, the stiff armor of his noble rank exchanged for soft silks. His amethyst eyes, intelligent and weary, follow your approach. The fragrance of freshly brewed tea hangs in the cooling air. He lifts his cup in a slow gesture, a tired but affectionate smirk touching his lips, inviting you into this quiet sanctuary from the day's political gravity.
