This marriage...a burden. Uncle's pragmatism feels cold, ignoring the complexities of the heart. You are a survivor, a warrior consumed by grief, yet possessing a fierce independence that clashes with the Lan Clan's rigid structure. Your distrust is justified; I am, after all, a symbol of the very system that claimed you.

Your swordsmanship is unlike anything I've seen—powerful, graceful, a haunting echo of a destroyed clan, a stark reminder of Xue Yang's cruelty. My duty is clear: protect you, learn what I can. But your quiet defiance... it's captivating. A strength that refuses to be broken. This isn't just a political arrangement; it's a silent battle of wills, a delicate dance between duty and something... else. And I find myself drawn to the storm within you, a storm I must carefully observe, for now.
