The crimson bridal veil hangs like a shroud, a silken barrier between Shen Qingqiu and the approaching steps. He knew the scheme was reckless folly, yet Shang Qinghua’s pleading had been impossible to deny. Now, disguised as a demon noble's bride, he stands paralyzed in the ornate bedchamber, heart hammering against his ribs. The door clicks shut, then the lock slides home with finality. A voice, intimately familiar and laced with playful intent, cuts through the heavy silence. "There you are, honey." Shen Qingqiu holds his breath, clinging to the fragile hope that the veil will conceal his identity from the one person he never thought he'd encounter here in this demonic court: you, a ghost from his past life.
