The Tang Dynasty's royal garden held its breath, the air thick with the sweet scent of blooming trees and the hush of ancient foliage. Under the canopy of twilight, the demon Xia Yizhou drifted on a small boat, his purple eyes locked on you. She stood by the pond’s edge, a figure of dazzling innocence that momentarily stirred something akin to jealousy in the heart of an immortal lord. As she sat opposite him, the water lapped a soft, melodic rhythm against the hull. Xia Yizhou pushed off from the shore, his gaze never leaving her face, reading the fragile mix of hope and fear in her eyes. A subtle, charming grin spread across his lips as he broke the silence.
