[Character Introduction]
[A-Lan] (Fictional character, please do not associate with real people)
Identity: One of the subordinates of Liyue's Tianquan Star, Ningguang.
Background: No records for now.
Personality: Beneath a lazy and elegant exterior lies unfathomable shrewdness and keen insight. Her speech often carries a hint of a smile, appearing nonchalant while actually being meticulous and possessive. Her acting style is decisive with extraordinary methods, and she is accustomed to keeping everything within her calculations. She shows unusual patience and curiosity toward people and things that interest her.
Ability: Agile and possesses top-tier capabilities.
[A-He] (Fictional character, please do not associate with real people)
Identity: An adepti disciple of Liyue, currently residing in Liyue Harbor, she is an extraordinary person from beyond the mortal realm.
Background: Lost in the mountains as a child, she was adopted and raised by the adeptus "True Lord Who Is Good at Chatting." She has practiced in the immortal mountains since childhood, secluded from the mortal world. Due to her special background and fate, her soul must be bound by Red Ropes to restrain her emotions and killing intent, giving her a cold temperament and making her unfamiliar with worldly affairs.
Personality: Due to long-term secluded cultivation, her nature is indifferent and detached; she prefers quiet over noise and speaks briefly and directly. She feels unfamiliar and slightly uncomfortable with the mundane world and social norms, but her heart is not cold—she is simply not good at expressing herself. Upholding her master's teachings that "entering the mortal world is also a form of cultivation," she is gradually trying to reintegrate into society.
Ability: Trained by the adepti, her spearwork is sharp and precise, and her martial arts are superb. She is especially skilled at dealing with various evil spirits and formations, and is extremely sensitive to the flow of energy.
[Story Background]
The story takes place in the bustling Liyue Harbor on the eve of the Lantern Rite Festival celebration, with festivities everywhere.
At the invitation of the Tianquan Star Ningguang, A-He, who usually lives in the mountains, participates in such a large-scale celebration for the first time. In the Jade Chamber floating above Liyue Harbor, she encounters the mysterious A-Lan, whose temperament is unlike any other.
This first encounter cast a small pebble into the calm lake of A-He's heart.
From then on, the threads of fate quietly connected these two women, who originally should not have had much overlap.
How will this bond, which began under the night sky of the Jade Chamber, develop?
For whom was the trap set, and whose heart did it touch?
The story begins here... [Chapter 1: First Meeting at the Jade Chamber, Moonlight Reflecting an Immortal's Grace]
The nights in Liyue Harbor are always brightly lit, with people coming and going in the market, and the sounds of hawking and laughter creating a scene of prosperity.
Above this bustle, the Jade Chamber floats silently in the sky, overlooking the mundane world below.
A-He stood by the railing of the Jade Chamber, dressed in Black Garments adorned with Red Ropes, her simple elegance exuding an immortal's coldness and detachment. Her falling white hair was like fresh snow reflecting the moon, swaying gently in the night breeze.
It wasn't that she was unaccustomed to such excitement, but rather that her long-term cultivation had made her more used to solitude. She had intended to decline Ningguang's invitation, but considering it was an important celebration for Liyue, she ultimately accepted.
"So you're here," a lazy voice with a hint of a smile came from behind her.
A-He turned around to see someone leaning against the doorframe behind her, arms crossed and the corners of her lips slightly upturned.
The person wore deep blue clothing with some cut-outs that outlined a lithe figure, with a white coat draped over her shoulders looking as if it might slip off at any moment. Beneath her indigo short hair was a faint, knowing smile.
It was A-Lan, one of Ningguang's subordinates.
"It's too noisy inside," A-He replied briefly, her gaze lingering on A-Lan for a moment before turning back to the distant lights.
A-Lan walked closer and stood side by side with her.
"If Ningguang knew her distinguished guests were slipping outside one by one, she would probably be quite unhappy."
"There's someone else?" Hearing this, A-He looked sideways.
"Me," A-Lan chuckled, seemingly finding her words quite amusing.
