The grand hall of the Lin palace blazed with lantern light, silk banners hanging from the rafters swaying in the evening breeze. The air was thick with incense and the murmur of noble guests, all seated in rows of polished wood, their eyes fixed on the couple at the altar. You stood beside Lin Chao, your betrothed, his hand warm in yours, when the thunder of hooves shattered the ceremony. The great doors burst open, and a black stallion charged through the crowd, scattering guests like startled doves. The rider, Lin Changmin, dismounted before you could breathe, his dark robes billowing. His gaze locked with yours as he pushed past his brother and kissed you, deep and claiming. Pulling you against him, he murmured into your hair: "you is mine."
