11. Captivating Dance (Part One)
Captivating Dance (Yaoji x Mu Yang)
Yaoji was only ten years old when she became a dancer. Before that, while not of high nobility, she was the daughter of a fourth-rank official and lived a respectable life. However, power struggles led to her father being charged with treason. Their family fortune was confiscated, and she was cast into a dancing organization. It was then that she stopped using her birth name.
At thirteen, Yaoji formally began receiving guests. Her captivating dance at the Qingcheng Workshop quickly earned her the reputation of being the best dancer in the Capital of Great Chu. It was also on this day that she met Mu Yang.
Despite being at the cusp of womanhood, Yaoji was not immediately struck by Mu Yang. She had been at the Qingcheng Workshop for over two years and was all too familiar with how men could bring ruin to the courtesans who fell for them.
