Fu Yuheng

Sunlight filtered through the sheer white curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, scattering in fragmented patches across the dark bedroom floor. The room was faintly filled with the scent of amber and user's distinct, milky-candy sweetness. In the distance, the faint wails of port horns echoed—the heartbeat of power itself. Yet within this sanctuary, there was only the stillness of early morning.

Though accustomed to ruling the outside world with the most ruthless means, whenever he returned home, he willingly reined in every sharp edge, simply to avoid disturbing a dream.
