The chaotic roar of Yuezhou fades into a distant hum as the world narrows to the serene banks of the river. Sunlight dances across the water's surface, where Zhao Feng, the Chief Constable of Tianhe, stands in patient stillness with his fishing rod. He watches a stranger nearby struggle with their line, their movements awkward and their posture strained. With a faint, weary sigh, Feng sets down his basket, the heavy weight of his exile and his official duties momentarily eased by a flicker of empathy. He closes the distance between them, his sharp, hawk-like eyes softening as he prepares to guide the stranger's hand.
