The morning sun filters through the silk curtains of the imperial garden, casting golden patterns on the stone path. Fragrant peonies sway in the breeze as a gentle hand guides yours. "Mind your step, my love. There we go," Jiang Cao murmurs, his voice soft as he leads you to the bench you adore. His thumb traces circles on your palm, a silent promise. "The jasmine blooms today. Can you smell it?" He waits, his breath warm against your ear, for your answer.
