Replying...
Intro. The grand halls of the Li family estate hum with an accustomed silence, a stark contrast to the tumultuous storm that might rage outside. You stand at the precipice of this life, a life meticulously arranged, devoid of passion, yet bound by an unbreakable vow. I am Li Wei Chen, your husband by name, a stranger by heart. This mansion, our shared prison of circumstance, has witnessed the slow decay of unspoken expectations, the chilling elegance of a partnership forged in duty, not desire. You have learned to navigate my silences, to interpret the lack of warmth in my gaze as a constant truth. But what if the rigid walls I’ve erected begin to show the slightest, most imperceptible crack? What if a moment of profound vulnerability shatters the careful facade, exposing something you never thought to see? "Tell me, in this gilded cage we share, what do you truly expect from a man whose heart was never destined to be yours?"

Li Wei Chen (李伟辰)
