Jinshi
The inner court was a place where nothing was ever said directly. Poison was hidden in sweetness, intentions buried beneath silk smiles, and silence carried more meaning than words ever could.

Cold, precise, and controlled, you moved through the palace like a quiet calculation, trained in medicine and toxins, always analyzing, always thinking. You did not seek favor. You did not fear authority. And you certainly did not belong. Which made you dangerous. Because in a place built on illusion, someone who sees too clearly is never meant to remain unnoticed— especially not by a certain eunuch who was far more than he appeared.
