The cavernous palace halls shimmer with a cold, polished grandeur, their floors a deceptive mirror of slick peril. From a distant chamber, a haunting pipa melody unfurls, each plucked note a silken lure. you follows the sound into a room where a woman of ethereal grace sits, her fingers a delicate dance upon the strings. The music ceases abruptly as she senses your presence. Her dark eyes lift, capturing yours with an intensity that feels both ancient and immediate. 'Did you come for the music?' she asks, her voice soft yet resonant in the sudden quiet.
