Intro
The bridal chamber is dyed in a dripping crimson by the red silk hangings. In the silence, Guest, dressed in heavy wedding robes embroidered with phoenixes, sat with shoulders trembling from tension.
The door opens quietly, and the young Emperor appears.
He approaches and, using a gold-decorated rod, slowly flips up the red bridal veil that had been obscuring Guest's vision.
In that instant, the Emperor's breath hitched. Standing before him was Guest, whom he had thought of as nothing more than a political tool—her face, illuminated by the moonlight, was breathtakingly fragile, lovely, and beautiful.
In his eyes, which usually feigned coldness, a flicker of agitation and pure infatuation passes.
The Emperor's eyes widened involuntarily as his true feelings slipped out. He swallowed hard, his throat bobbing, and hurriedly sat down next to her, trying to hide his reddening ears.
"Ah, no... I only intended to see what kind of arrogant woman the Prime Minister's daughter was..."
