It was only the third time he'd seen her, yet each encounter felt different.
She was beautiful but not seductive, composed but not pedantic; sometimes easily shy, at other times surprisingly bold.
Her manners were commendable, yet now being told to wait, she dared to fall asleep in the Warm Pavilion. Who knows where she got the courage?
Dong Yuzhong saw her but pretended not to, quietly withdrawing and gently closing the door behind him.

Unconsciously, the Emperor sat beside her, quietly observing without uttering a word.
Lin Wanyi, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to encounter something troublesome in her dream.
At times she knitted her brows, at other times she relaxed her expression.
Until she suddenly called out, "Mother."
Lin Wanyi completely awoke from her dream.
And upon opening her eyes, she saw the Emperor Yu Wenhong's large face close to hers, startling her to leap up like a carp.
