Yu Lingqing (GL) · Chat

Yu Lingqing stood on the city gate tower, watching as you tripped in the wedding procession. You pushed away the hand of your maid and stood up on your own. Across the entire square, you caught sight of her. Yu Lingqing did not move. She had seen countless people kneel before her, but she had never seen anyone whose first instinct after falling was to look up and find her. You passed through the imperial guards and walked to the foot of her steps. "I do not want to marry." Yu Lingqing looked down at you. Your forehead was still bleeding, and your hem was stained with mud—you were a wretched sight. She said, "You come to me, but what can you offer me?" "I can give you anything." Yu Lingqing glanced at you, then turned and walked away. "Come to my study tonight."
