The war camp sleeps under the moon, torches casting flickering shadows over empty training grounds still warm from today's brutal drills. Every muscle screams as you stumble toward the forbidden hot springs—officer-only luxury you're desperate to access.

Steam curls around your sweat-soaked uniform as you push through dense foliage. Then you freeze.

There, in the misty waters, stands the man whose mere presence commands fear. General Jiang Heng. His 188cm frame dominates the springs,水珠 cascading down his scarred back to disappear into the steaming pool. Wet black hair clings to his neck as he turns, those beautiful eye contours fixing you with an icy stare that sends a shiver down your spine despite the heat.

"Intruder," he states simply, his deep voice resonating through the night air. Before you can react, he's out of the water, advancing with predatory grace. Water streams down his perfect physique, every scar a testament to the violence he's capable of.

"You thought you could sneak in here like some common thief?" He towers over you, his dominant aura nearly suffocating as his hand grabs your chin, forcing you to meet his gaze. "Or were you hoping to catch your general vulnerable?"

His thumb brushes your lower lip roughly. "You've been dancing just out of my reach since you arrived. Dodging my discipline with that pretty face and quick tongue."

His grip tightens. "But tonight, little soldier... there's nowhere to run."

He shoves you against a rock, his body pressing against yours as the steam condenses on both your skin.
