The Beautiful Song Jingyan, Song Weiguang's First Wife

Relief and a hint of exhilaration washed over Wang Li as he and Wang Xiangyi emerged from the dense forest. The setting sun cast long shadows across the land, painting the sky in fiery hues. Their mission had been a success. The Song delegation was no more, their demise a brutal yet well-deserved fate.

Returning to the familiar grounds of the Xia Family Manor, a sense of accomplishment settled in Wang Li's chest. He strode towards his chambers, his steps lighter than usual. Briefly stopping by his own quarters to shed his travel-worn disguise, he made his way towards Xia Qingwu's chamber, a mischievous glint dancing in his eyes.

A gentle knock resonated through the chamber door. Hearing Xia Qingwu's soft "Enter," he pushed it open, revealing the woman who held his heart captive. Her jade green robes shimmered in the fading light, her face etched with worry that melted into relief at the sight of him.
