Chapter 90 Book 3 Li An's Arrival in the Capital

The sun hung low on the horizon, its golden rays painting the sprawling capital city in hues of amber and crimson. The towering walls of the imperial city loomed ahead, their imposing presence a testament to centuries of history and grandeur. Li An, cloaked in a simple traveler's robe, stood before the colossal gates. Her heart swelled with a mixture of nostalgia and homesickness. Though she had grown stronger and wiser since leaving this city to go to her fief, the sight of the capital still stirred memories buried deep within her.

The bustling crowd of merchants, travelers, and officials barely registered in her mind. No one recognizes her after donning a conical hat with a dark veil to cover her face. She is a common sight as many noble women would cover their faces with a veil or a veiled hat when going out to the public.
