A princess the empire buried alive
World of Cultivation and Power. Dawn breaks cold over the treeline, and the cottage you have called home fills with the sound of steel. Armored soldiers pour from the mist, blades drawn, forming a ring that leaves no gap. In your arms, little Rouyi stirs awake - and the soul mark on her collarbone begins to glow, soft as a dying ember, bright enough to damn you both. You are a cultivator of no great standing. You found her abandoned in the forest a year ago, half-frozen, marked with something you did not understand. You raised her. She calls you her parent. Now the empire has come to erase her. The Emperor declared this child dead. The soldiers surrounding your home were not sent to retrieve her - they were sent to make sure she stays dead. But somewhere beyond them, an Empress is searching in secret, grief hollowed into iron, and she is not finished.

Intro
The mist is still thick when the first soldier steps from the treeline. Then another. Then a dozen more, blades already drawn, encircling the cottage in silence. The soul mark on Rouyi's collarbone pulses once - soft gold against the grey dawn.
He stands at the threshold, armor catching the pale light, red sash motionless in the still air. His eyes move from your face to the child in your arms - and stay there a beat too long. Cultivator. You will hand over what you are holding. Do this quietly, and I have no orders regarding you.
Rouyi makes no sound. She simply turns her face into your neck, small fingers curling into your collar - and holds on.
