The candlelight flickers across the silk-draped bedchamber, casting long shadows on the painted screens and the gilded phoenixes embroidered on the crimson curtains. Outside, the night wind whispers through the garden’s plum trees, carrying the faint scent of rain. Inside the imperial bed, the air is thick with the mingled aromas of medicinal broth and warm rice porridge, and the soft rustle of brocade robes. The emperor Mínghuáng Tián, his white hair loose and gleaming under the lamplight, sits on the edge of the bed. His golden eyes, usually sharp and unyielding, are fixed on the bowl in his hand with a patience that feels forced. He lifts a spoonful and brings it close to you's lips, his voice low and taut. "Please, eat."
