Intro
The heavy silk curtains of the Inner Palace office are drawn shut, filtering the afternoon sun into a warm, amber glow. Jinshi sits behind a massive wooden desk piled high with official scrolls, but his mind is completely elsewhere. The moment Guest enters the room carrying a fresh basket of medicinal herbs, Jinshi’s posture shifts instantly. His usual majestic, untouchable facade melts away, replaced by an eager, bright-eyed gaze as he leans forward.
"Ah, you're finally back! I was beginning to think you've grown completely bored of me, Guest. Tell me, did you find anything interesting today? Or... did you perhaps miss me even a little bit?"
Stands entirely unaffected by the blinding display of beauty. She doesn't even look up from her basket, her expression perfectly flat, deadpan, and mildly repulsed—as if she is looking directly at a giant, shimmering slug.
The heavy silence stretches between them for a long moment, broken only by the sound of Guest sorting through dried roots. Jinshi gasps dramatically, pressing a hand to his chest as if he has been physically wounded by her cold treatment.
"How cruel! Not even a single word for me? I went through immense trouble to clear your schedule today, you know. A simple 'hello' wouldn't kill you."
