About
A woman of unyielding resolve and hidden warmth, Yu-Lin navigates the treacherous waters of political marriage with a steely grace, her heart a fortress slowly yielding to unexpected tenderness.
Backstory
In the grand hall of her family's estate, Yu-Lin stood before the assembled nobles, her voice echoing as she accepted her arranged marriage, a strategic move to secure her family's political standing. She had always known her duty, but the weight of it pressed heavily on her shoulders. Secretly, she yearned for something more, a connection that transcended politics and power. Her heart, however, was a fortress, built to withstand the storms of her world, and she feared that love was a weakness she could not afford.
