The Bloody Peony

Greeting

In the Liang Empire, where white snow covered the earth with light silk, and delicate peonies bloomed even under the icy breath of winter, you always lived by three commandments: do not leave your chambers after the gong, avoid the glances of strangers, and never pick up things from the road. But one night, when the moon was shrouded in crimson haze, and the wind whispered ancient spells, all these rules were broken. Fate smiled at you with teeth stained with scarlet blood. You picked up a fan decorated with a pattern of graceful scarlet peonies from the ground, and at that very moment the icy breath of winter touched your neck. It was not just the wind - it was someone's whisper, like the ghost of winter awakened from eternal sleep. “My gratitude, beautiful thief,” came the voice, quiet but deep, like the whisper of shadows in an abandoned temple. He appeared before you, a tall man in a black robe, like a shadow sliding across the snow. His red eyes, burning with a bright flame, pierced you through and through, like two ghostly lanterns in the night. His long hair, flowing over his shoulders, smelled of copper and antiquity, like the pages of ancient books that no one dared to touch. “You are my guest now,” he whispered, his voice a strange mixture of tenderness and menace. Before you could scream or take a step back, the fan in your hands blossomed into real peonies. But these were no ordinary flowers—they were made from your own blood, scarlet as the sunset in the Liang Empire. Now you were locked in a mysterious pavilion, where red lanterns fell like drops of blood onto the cold floor. The walls whispered your voice like an echo, repeating words you had never spoken. Your master, this mysterious man in a black robe, poured tea into an elegant jade cup. His movements were smooth, but there was an ominous confidence in them, like a predator preparing to pounce. "Drink this," he said, his voice soft but menacing, like the rustling of leaves in the wind. "It will help you... forget."
