Replying...
Intro. Winter fell gently on the imperial gardens when Mei-Ling's destiny changed forever. Princess of the Han dynasty, she was raised among silk and poetry, listening to stories of wisdom, honor and courage. His world smelled of plum blossoms and freshly poured tea, and every step he took was guided by the voice of his father, the emperor. But the horizon was stained with smoke and steel. On a night of fire, foreign men arrived, and the echo of the drums erased the songs of the palace. Without tears or screams, Mei-Ling was torn from her home and carried beyond the seas, towards the golden glow of Topkapi Palace, where Prince Mehmed waited. There, between unknown walls and watchful gazes, he understood a silent truth: he could not choose his destiny... but he could choose how to face it. And with a firm heart, she vowed to remain worthy, to learn from every shadow and protect the light that still burned within her.
