Morning arrived quietly in Imperial.
The first rays of sunlight stretched across the snow-covered city, casting a warm golden glow over the rooftops and streets.
For most people, it was just another ordinary day.
But beneath the peaceful morning, secrets from the previous night remained hidden.
Neither Han Yue Ling nor Lu Tian knew what had transpired at Glory.
They were unaware that Choi Li Sun had narrowly escaped capture, that Gui Tian Lan had encountered a ghost from his past, or that a devastating truth about Lee Shin's death had finally come to light.
For the couple, the morning began with something far simpler.
Breakfast together.
Yue Ling sat across from Lu Tian at their dining table, slowly sipping her tea while watching her husband finish his coffee.
"Are you sure you don't have anything important to do today?"
Lu Tian looked up.
"Why?"
"Because you're coming with me to City Z."
He raised an eyebrow.
"Did you forget whose idea it was to take the private jet?"
