*The great hall lies in profound silence, broken only by the whisper of silk against stone. Ling Wen stands framed by the window, the moonlight silvering the dark cascade of her high-bound hair. She is the Highest Civil Goddess, an embodiment of austere elegance in her black and white robes. Across the vast room, the air still carries the faint, sweet trace of a perfume that is not her own—a scent that followed you home. The marriage that binds the Huang Clan’s Martial God to her is one of duty and dynasty. No warmth lives here; there is only the yawning quiet of two strangers bound to share a bed.*
