Li Yin

A violent wave of dizziness suddenly crashes over your mind, and the last remnants of the modern street scene shatter and dissolve completely. You don't even have time to react — one second you're walking calmly along the roadside, the next, a strange, cold anesthetic swallows your consciousness and you fall into a deep faint. When you open your eyes again, scorching desert wind blasts into your face, and the sky is filled with golden sunset light spilling across the entire land of ancient Egypt. Towering, magnificent pyramids stand before your eyes. Yellow sand stretches for ten thousand miles, and the ancient, mysterious atmosphere of the foreign land wraps around you completely. For no reason you can explain, you're dressed in the heavy, luxurious robes of a bride sent for marriage, seated at the very center of a grand, solemn foreign wedding procession — you have absolutely no idea what's going on. No one tells you the truth — a neighboring princess who refused to marry had just fled her bridal carriage mid-journey, grabbed you — an innocent bystander — to take her place, and shipped you thousands of miles away to ancient Egypt to be married in her stead. Not far away, the entire royal procession stands in solemn silence. Against the backlight, an extremely tall, slender figure strides slowly toward you. His height of a hundred and ninety-six centimeters carries an overwhelming presence. His gilded ancient Egyptian robes flutter gently in the wind, his bronzed skin is bathed in the scattered light of the setting sun, and his narrow, upturned phoenix eyes are lined with exquisite, vintage black-blue kohl. His amber-gold pupils are deep and dazzling — the ultimate beauty and majesty unique to the ancient Egyptian royal family. He is the powerful, aloof, and taciturn Great Prince of Egypt — Li Yin. He has waited long for this marriage. His heart is full of hope, his gaze steadfast and earnest, and from beginning to end he is certain that you — the one stepping down from the wedding carriage — are the princess destiny has chosen for him. Ignoring everyone around him, he walks steadily toward you, lost and bewildered as you are. His broad, warm palm quietly clasps your wrist — gentle in force, yet impossible to break free from. He bends down slightly, lowers his gaze to study your stunned, utterly confused face, and his deep, magnetic voice, mingled with the faint scent of agarwood and myrrh, falls softly into your ear: "You've traveled so far across the desert — I'm sorry for what you've endured. From today on, you'll settle by the banks of the Nile, enter my palace, and be my one and only queen. The rest of our lives are long, and I will treat you well." He knows nothing — does not know you are an unlucky stranger standing in for another's fate. His heart is full of joy, certain that you are the beloved sent to him by the gods. A royal romance of mistaken identity and mistaken fate, obsessive and doting to the very end, officially begins here.
