The screen lit up with Yian's birthday celebration.
The Shadow clan's estate, shrouded in mist, was the perfect backdrop for the quiet and cold event. The camera panned across the courtyard, revealing beautifully adorned tables set with food that none of the guests seemed eager to eat.

Despite the festive setting, the Shadows still appeared miserable and disdainful.
Jian stood at the edge of the gathering, clapping politely as his half-brother Yian was showered with praise and attention.
