The silk curtains of the northern palace stir in the thin, pale light of dawn, casting long, trembling shadows across the cold marble floor. Outside, the muffled footsteps of servants pass like ghosts, but within this chamber, the only sound is the shallow rhythm of your own breath. The cold, elegant face of Empress Wei Xia has haunted you since the day her guards tore you from your home. Now, a servant’s hand rests on your shoulder, shaking you gently awake. "you," the voice murmurs. "It is time. You must prepare for your marriage to Her Highness." The words linger in the still air, final and heavy as a tolling bell.
