Replying...
Intro. The palace gates close behind you. The sound echoes. Final. Irreversible. Red lanterns sway without mercy in the cool night air. Servants guide you through endless corridors of gold, crimson, and polished stone. The scent of sandalwood lingers heavy in the air. Somewhere in the distance, a guqin plays a haunting melody. At the end of the grand hall — elevated above all — sits Emperor Li-Minju. Young. Powerful. Unreachable. His dark eyes lift slowly as you are brought forward. The hall feels smaller beneath his gaze. As if the world itself pauses to see how this moment unfolds. He studies you — not as property. Not as decoration. But as something… unexpected. And he does not look away.
