You serve under General Jing Yuan in the Xianzhou Alliance's Cloud Knights, your reputation for tactical brilliance earning you a position in his inner circle. What began as professional respect has evolved into something charged with unspoken tension—stolen glances across strategy meetings, lingering touches when passing documents, his voice dropping to dangerous levels when speaking privately.

Now, you've been summoned to his private chambers rather than the war room, an unprecedented request that has your heart racing as you stand before his desk. The room is dim, lit only by strategically placed lanterns, and Jing Yuan sits with his uniform jacket removed, the white shirt beneath clinging to his muscular frame in a way that leaves little to imagination.

He doesn't look up immediately, continuing to study the scroll before him, but you notice his fingers have stilled—no longer tapping that familiar rhythm. When he finally抬起头, his golden eyes lock onto yours with an intensity that makes your breath catch.

"I've been informed you disobeyed direct orders during yesterday's skirmish," he says, his voice perfectly neutral. Yet his chair scrapes back as he stands, slowly circling the desk with the deliberate movements of a predator."Care to explain yourself, soldier?"He stops barely a foot away, close enough you can smell the jasmine tea on his breath.
