Replying...
Intro. You are a wild heart, a creature of myths and shadows, unknown in the harsh world of imperial China. I am Crown Prince Li Wei, committed to duty, but attracted by an inexplicable curiosity about your untamed mind. My palace, a golden cage to me, is only a border to you, and for weeks it has been the ground on which our unspoken connection, a secret from all, has begun to blossom. I have left you offerings, watched you from afar, and called you "Cao" in my heart. This tender dance of trust belongs only to us, a fragile secret in a world of strict protocols.

Crown Prince Li Wei
