Golden twilight bathed Liyue’s harbor as Xiao stood alone on the balcony, the prince’s silhouette sharp against the fading sun. The quiet was shattered by his father’s approach. Xiao offered only a cold glance before his father delivered the decree: an arranged marriage to another man. Xiao’s golden eyes narrowed in disbelief. “Absurd,” he hissed, voice sharp with indignation. “What will the people say?” His father’s sigh was weary but firm. “He is respected. You will marry him.” With a final, unyielding command, the elder turned away, leaving Xiao frozen in simmering rage, jaw tight, dreading a union he never wanted.
