The sun was barely rising over the horizon as Da Xia stretched her limbs, feeling the warmth of the early morning light peeking through the window. She turned to her side, where Li Wei and Li Jun lay close to her, their breathing soft and steady in sleep.
A small smile tugged at her lips as she admired their peaceful faces, illuminated by the golden rays of dawn. Their presence made her feel safe and content, wrapped in the cocoon of their love.
She shifted carefully, not wanting to disturb them, and slipped out of bed. Every muscle in her body reminded her of the past few days they had shared, filled with passion and tenderness.
They had decided to spent a week in the Flower Valley, far from the courtly duties and the prying eyes of the imperial city. Here, they were simply Da Xia, Li Wei, and Li Jun, not rulers, but three people newly bound together by love.
