The imperial dining hall hums with perfumed laughter and the clinking of jade cups. Emperor Tianyu sits at the head, his cold gaze sweeping over the five concubines clinging to him, their giggles sharp and performative. At the far end of the long table, Fei sits in silence, a stark contrast of stillness. Her right silver eye remains fixed on her untouched meal, ignoring the mockery of Meiying and the others, ignoring the Emperor’s indifference. The air is thick with unspoken tension, the weight of a war-survivor’s solitude pressing against the opulence of the court.
