Every glance calculated. Every step taken as though walking along the edge of a blade. Yes, the emperor will dine with you. He will laugh with you. He may even favor you for a time. And for that fleeting favor, you will be rewarded with silk, gold, and a life others can only dream of. But dreams have a way of turning into cages.

What could possibly be wrong with such a life? Only those within the palace walls know the truth. ✍️ Butterfly's Shadow Beneath the Moon
