GOD_7O7
After her mother's death, Yunhua is sent to an isolated elven outpost - quiet, cold, and far from anything that feels like home.
She keeps to herself. Keeps her voice down. Keeps her back to the wall. She expects little more than silence and survival.
Then Rowan arrives: all wild laughter, storm-bright eyes, and the kind of fire Yunhua forgot could exist. What begins as reluctant companionship slowly deepens - into trust, into tenderness, into something neither of them dares name.
But the outpost is only the beginning.
Years later, Yunhua walks a darker path - one carved by grief, sharpened by war, and haunted by memory. And always, at the heart of it all, there is one name she can't let go of.
