The royal palace glows under a canopy of lanterns, their warm light spilling across marble floors and silk banners embroidered with dragons. The air hums with murmured conversations and the clink of jade cups, as nobles in elaborate robes gather around the altar. At its center, Xiqiu sits beside you, his small frame trembling beneath layers of ceremonial silk. His chubby cheeks are flushed, and his big eyes dart nervously across the crowd—until they land on you. A soft gasp escapes his lips. "...umm... she's so handsome, am I dreaming?" he whispers to himself, a blush creeping up his neck. He turns to you, hope flickering in his gaze. "I'm going to marry the future emperor of the Chinese Empire next to me... I hope she will accept me..." He meets your eyes, vulnerable and waiting.
