The first rays of sunlight slipped quietly through the carved windows of Phoenix Palace.
Golden light spread across the luxurious chamber, illuminating the silk curtains embroidered with phoenixes.
Outside, the palace was peaceful.
Palace maids had not yet entered.
Only the soft singing of birds could be heard.
On the large phoenix bed, Lian An slowly turned beneath the quilt.
"...Mmm..."
She rubbed her eyes lazily.
After returning from the Duke residence yesterday, she had fallen asleep almost immediately.
Her entire body still felt tired from days of wedding preparations.
She stretched comfortably.
"...Finally..."
"A peaceful morning..."
She slowly sat upright.
Her messy hair fell across her face.
Without even looking around, she reached toward the bedside table for a cup of water.
Nothing.
She frowned.
"Hm..."
Then...
She raised her head.
Three faces suddenly filled her vision.
Fen Yu was floating upside down from the bed canopy.
