"Welcome, everyone, to my latest original character story. This story revolves around a character hailing from the illustrious Yueyang Chang Clan.
It's a clan destined for a tragic massacre at the hands of Yue Yang, but not in this story.
Our female...
I still wasn't married, Jiang Cheng wanted to wait until I was 21 even though the marriage for girls was 14. I eyed Qingque and he scowled.
"What?! Get ready quickly!!" He scoffed. I didn't reply to anything, and put on my earrings.
'He must have done something. I'm sure of it. It's what they must've talked about in the phoenix mountain.'

Then we departed. Yanli and Jin Zixuan celebrated the birth of a baby boy extravagantly so we went to visit them.
At the Carp Tower, we paid our respects to Jin Guangshan, who cradled the newborn.
"Clan Leader Jin," Both Qingqiu and I greeted, bowing to the esteemed leader. "Oh, Clan Leader Chang, Miss Yi, you've come," Jin Guangshan acknowledged, and I smiled gently.
He had grown fond of me after I helped cure his long-standing back pain. "Of course, how can I refuse the Clan Leader's invitation," I replied, to which he chuckled.
"Ah-Yi, no need to be so formal," He insisted, and I nod. "If you don't mind, I'll head back to the main hall. I'm a bit tired after all that traveling," Qingqiu stated going away.
Approaching the baby, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Awww, he's so cute," as I gently poked his cheeks. "What's his name?" I asked, to which Jin Guangyao, standing nearby, replied,
"Jin Ling."
"Ah-Yao, long time no see," I greeted him, and he chuckled, "What nonsense, we just met last week." Embarrassed, I admitted, "We did! I forgot," to which he giggled.
An apprentice arrived and whispered something into Jin Guangyao's ear. He nodded in response.
"Father, Clan Leader Lan and Hanguang-Zun have arrived. Here, let me hold him," Jin Guangyao requested.
"No need. Do you know how to hold a baby?! You'll drop him," Jin Guangshan barked, his words stinging. 'Drop him? What nonsense,'
"Clan Leader, if you may, can I? I'm taking care of my nephew, so I have experience with babies. If you don't mind, can I carry him?" I requested, and he nodded.
"Of course. Ah-Yi, you're the right person for it," he acknowledged, passing the baby to me before departing.
Jin Guangyao gazed at the baby longingly, and I couldn't help but chuckle. "Give us some privacy," I commanded, prompting everyone to leave us alone.
Once I was certain we were alone, I handed Jin Ling to Jin Guangyao. "Go on," I encouraged, offering him Jin Ling, and he took the baby eagerly, engaging in playful interaction.
"Yinhwa, can I ask you something?" He inquired, and I hummed in response.
"Why are you so kind to me?" he asked, prompting laughter from me. "Why? Do I need a reason to be kind?" I countered, and he shook his head, a smile gracing his face.
