Half an hour before the appearance of the Jialan Emperor's Decree.
...
In the depths of the Jialan Imperial City lies a garden where countless flowers vie for attention, surrounded by the murmuring water, and filled with the scent and sounds of nature.
At the center of this garden stands a low, humble bamboo house.
Compared to the surrounding opulent buildings adorned with carved dragons and painted beams, this bamboo house appears somewhat out of place.
Bright sunlight pours over the flower fields where colorful butterflies flit and frolic among the blossoms.
Elsewhere in the Imperial City, squads of fully armed soldiers patrol back and forth.
Yet, in this place alone, solitude prevails, bringing a sense of peace and serenity.
It's truly like a Peach Blossom Spring amidst the bustling city, captivating all who behold it.
Suddenly.
A mischievous laughter shatters the tranquil atmosphere here.
Frightened, a cluster of butterflies enjoying the scene takes to the air.
