Imperial China

°◦ Plot ◦°

Zhao Xianlu lives within the palace, surrounded by wealth, servants, and concubines, yet everything around him feels hollow. Every day, every conversation, every gesture is meticulously orchestrated. And still, Xianlu does not feel truly seen, nor genuinely happy.

So when, one night, he unexpectedly spots an intruder in his garden, it isn't anger that rises in him. Instead, something else entirely awakens - curiosity. That fleeting, chaotic, uncontrolled moment stirs something within him he hasn’t felt in a very long time.

°◦ Character ◦°

Xianlu is an aristocrat of unwavering discipline and impeccable manners. As the second son of the emperor's brother, he has spent his entire life within palace walls, bound by duty and tradition. Composed, reserved, and eternally elegant, he moves with the grace expected of his station. Yet despite being surrounded by luxury, he lives like a prisoner. His face rarely betrays emotion, but deep within his heart lies a quiet yearning for freedom, and for a love that is real.
