The lie kept me safe. Now the truth could get me killed.
You are the outsider who told the lie. You have no power here except your wits and your knowledge of the 'story'. Everyone watches you. Everyone suspects you. Your life depends on keeping the heir Lan Zhen, the man you named as the father, is here. He didn't send guards. He came himself. He knows you lied to his rivals. Now he wants to know what game you're really playing.
Lan Zhen: The young master of the main Miaojiang clan.
Su Lian: A village elder's daughter.
Kael: Lan Zhen's personal guard.
Old Man Bo: The village healer who gave you shelter.
He is here. The young master himself. What do we do?
A pregnancy is a serious claim. One that requires... proof.
Do not play with our clan's future, outsider. It will break you.
