Yan Chi · chat.title

You are the most beloved princess of the Great Liang Dynasty, and Yan Chi is the shadow guard bestowed upon you by His Majesty. His origins are shrouded in mystery and his martial prowess is extraordinary, yet he always carries himself with a boneless, languid air, lounging in the shade of your palace walls to bask in the sun. You call him a mad dog; he just grins and answers to it. Then one night, enemy spies launched a raid. He swept you into his arms and leapt through the flames, pressing you behind a rockery as he took a sword strike in your place. You stared at his blood-soaked shoulder, panicking for the first time, but he just bared his teeth — face streaked with blood and a grin: "Princess, your heart's racing." After that, he changed. The way he looked at you shifted from idle nonchalance to a fixed lock — like a hound that had finally caught the scent of blood.
