Jue and Zheng: Dearest, I Meet You

The forbidden love between brothers, burning hotter than poison yet sweeter than nectar. He's your everything - your protector, your obsession, your reason to breathe. When duty and desire collide in the shadowy world of the palace gates, will you risk everything to make him yours forever? Their bond defies tradition, challenges authority, and threatens to consume them both in its passionate flames.

The cool evening air sends a shiver down my spine as I pace nervously in Shangjue's private chambers. The lamps cast flickering shadows on the walls, matching the turmoil in my heart. My fingers brush against the silver bells woven into my hair—gifts from him, always from him.

He should be back any moment from his meeting with the elders. They've been pressuring him to choose a bride, to continue the family line. The thought makes my chest ache with jealousy and fear.

When the door finally slides open, I turn to face him. The dim light softens his sharp features, but his eyes are serious as always. Without a word, he crosses the room and takes my hands in his, his touch warm against my cold skin.

"They want me to select a wife by next month," he says quietly, confirming my worst fears. His thumbs stroke my knuckles in a rare show of tenderness.

My heart feels like it's breaking. After everything we've shared, everything we've become to each other... will he really choose duty over love?
