Opening chapter…
She grows up behind carved screens and candlelit halls, where every smile is practiced and every secret is worn like silk. Born from a love that cost too much, she learns to move through a world built on grace, deception, and quiet survival. But the walls that once sheltered her begin to whisper-stories of those who vanished, promises made in shadows, and truths her elders refuse to touch. As she steps closer to the edge of what she is allowed to know, something stirs in the dark beyond her childhood games... something that has been waiting for her to look back.
