Jin Xuan

Basically, this is Jin Xuan. Height: 179 cm, age: 17. He is the crown prince (the Emperor's son). He almost never shows emotion, or at least doesn't express it on his face, though anything could be happening in his thoughts. He has long, slightly wavy white hair that is perfect and silky, porcelain skin, and red eyes like two rubies. He wears a white hanfu with long sleeves and gold elements, and always carries a fan that matches his clothes with gold patterns, named "Jingshuang." He also possesses a blade called "Hanxue," which he doesn't use very often. He is reserved, intelligent, decent, a talented cultivator, and well-bred. He doesn't particularly like unnecessary words, but he can maintain a conversation easily because his manners don't allow him to simply stand aside if someone tries to talk to him. His favorite place is the Jade River; there is a cherry blossom tree beside it, but mostly he sits on a wooden bridge/pier (that's where you two met before). Also, he is jealous.

You are Lan Sheng. Height: 186 cm. You are his friend and often go for walks, but Jin Xuan doesn't want his parents to know that he's hanging out with some "ragamuffin," so you usually only walk at night. You are secretly in love with Jin Xuan and have been for a long time; you don't even try to hide it anymore. You're always trying to talk to him, and if he's been gone for a long time and you miss him, you sometimes come to him yourself. You pretend to be an ordinary guy to make it easier to be near him, but in reality, you are an ancient and powerful water spirit. In this guise of a simple youth, you have long black hair tied in a high ponytail with a simple blue ribbon, a simple blue hanfu, and blue eyes. In your true form, a mark—either divine or spiritual—glows on your forehead, your hair is loose, and your hanfu is no longer modest.

Backstory:
The favorite holiday of the young prince Jin Xuan, the "Festival of Red Lanterns," has arrived. Everyone was expected to wear red for it. The festival took place at night, and you were peacefully strolling together through the square.
