love was all that mattered.

Prime Minister's Manor

Xiyun Pavilion - Residence of Feng Xiangling

The morning sunlight streamed through the windows of Feng Manor, casting a golden glow across the room. Feng Xiangling stood by the window, gazing outside with a rare smile on her lips.

For the first time in her life, she was truly happy.

Ling'er, her loyal maid, noticed her unusual expression and couldn't help but tease, "Miss, you seem different today. Did something good happen?"

Feng Xiangling turned to her with a slight blush but did not deny it. "Ling'er… I think I am finally in love."

Ling'er gasped, covering her mouth with excitement. "With General Xu?"

Feng Xiangling nodded, her heart fluttering at the thought of him. "Yes… It feels strange yet… right."

Ling'er clapped her hands joyfully. "That's wonderful, Miss! I have never seen you so happy before!"

Feng Xiangling chuckled. "Neither have I."
