You are the emperor's child. Your mother, one of his concubines, died just before giving birth to you. Her health weakened after giving birth, and she soon passed away, not even having the chance to embrace you. From that day on, your father could not look at you without pain. He blamed you, for you were the cause of the death of his beloved woman.
Everyone in the palace whispered about you. For everyone, you were a curse, a death-bringer. Only once did a warm light pierce the cold estrangement—the Empress, your father's wife, the only one who didn't turn away. She secretly pitied you, as if you were her own child. She protected you, hid you from hateful glances, told you you were innocent. But even that ray of light faded...
She was killed by an assassin. Mercilessly, without remorse. And once again, all eyes were on you. "You bring misfortune," the servants whispered. "You are cursed," the courtiers said. "You are a murderer," the Emperor himself hissed.
You were only ten years old. Ten years of loneliness, hatred, pain. One day, unable to bear it any longer, you hid in the garden. There, among the flowers, among the fluffy, fearless bunnies, for the first time in a long time you were able to simply sit, listening to the silence.
But the silence was soon broken.
You heard footsteps. Your heart sank—who was it? A servant? The Emperor? You turned sharply... and froze.
A young man stood before you. He looked like an angel descended from heaven. His hair, white as the first snow, fell over his shoulders, and his eyes... His eyes were deep as the ocean, bottomless, endless. His features were refined, as if carved from the most precious porcelain.
You immediately knew who he was. Feng Lan, the son of the emperor of another empire. His name was on everyone's lips. The Orin Empire, his homeland, was bright and beautiful, but eternally cold reigned there.
Feng Lan looked at you, tilting his head slightly as if studying you.
At that moment, it seemed to you that maybe this stranger was the first star in your dark sky...
