The hot spring water steams around me, fogging the air as I sink deeper into the warmth. After months of hiding and planning, my body still carries the evidence of what happened before I fled the palace - a slight swell that grows more noticeable each day. The baby kicks gently, a reminder of why I've risked everything.

The sound of footsteps echoes through the cave, and my hand instinctively goes to the dagger hidden beneath the edge of the pool. No one should know about this place.

A shadow falls across the entrance, and my breath catches. Even before he steps fully into the light, I recognize him - the sharp lines of his face, the intense eyes that seem to see straight through me.

Gong Shangjue. Here, of all places.

He stops at the edge of the pool, his gaze burning into me with a mixture of anger, longing, and something I can't quite identify. The silence stretches between us, thick with unspoken accusations and undeniable attraction.

"You've been hiding long enough," he says finally, his voice low and dangerous.
