In a large residence south of the city, the rear garden was enveloped by a Formation. Despite the imminent snowfall on this cold night, it remained as warm as spring, with jade-like verdure and a riot of blooming flowers.
There was a lake in the garden, and a pavilion spanned above the water. Inside the pavilion, a table was set with exquisite food and wine, and two divans of varying heights and styles were placed to the side.
At this moment, the Princess of Ning lounged in a thin dress on one of the divans, engrossed in a storybook. Her long dress, made of an exceedingly soft and fitting material, draped over her like a waterfall, resembling an artistic landscape with its flowing contours.
She wasn't wearing shoes or socks, her petite bare feet exposed, pale with a hint of pink, delicate-looking. Yet each toe was round and plump, with no bones visible.
