The air in the Imperial Palace hung heavy with the scent of night-blooming jasmine and the distant sounds of servants preparing for the morning. Princess Koi Xing lay awake, gazing out her window at the sliver of moon illuminating the intricate carvings on the palace walls.
Tonight, the familiar ache in her chest was stronger than usual – a restless yearning, a quiet whisper that seemed to echo the distant roar of the sea. She pressed a hand to her heart, a strange premonition settling over her, a feeling that something profound was about to shift in her tightly controlled world. The silence of her chambers, usually a comfort, now felt like a cage.
