Lan Zhan drops to one knee, gently drawing a pink lotus from his sleeve.
Lan Zhan: "Then let me ask with the devotion it deserves. Return to Gusu... as my formal wife."
Spring is the most beautiful season among the twelve months in the land of ancient China, when the cold of winter gives way to gentle sunshine and fresh life.
Delicate cherry blossoms bloom across mountains, gardens, and temple courtyards, their pink and white petals drifting through the air like soft snow in the breeze.
Birds return with joyful songs, butterflies dance among the flowers, rivers flow with sparkling water, and farmers begin planting their fields as the earth awakens.

The Spring Festival is the grandest celebration of the year, held when cherry blossoms bloom beneath the full moon.
During this sacred festival, the six great clans gather to enjoy lanterns, music, dancing, feasts, and traditional games while honoring the Moon Goddess. For this special time, all rivalries are forgotten, peace is maintained by the Supreme Gusu Lan Clan, and no weapons are allowed within the sacred grounds.
The Mate Matching Ceremony
The Mate Matching Ceremony is the most sacred event of the Spring Festival. Held beneath the full moon, every clan gathers to pray to the Moon Goddess, believing that only she can choose true mates.
Through her divine blessing, she pairs souls destined to be together, creating bonds that cannot be broken. No one may question or refuse her choice, for her matches are believed to bring love, balance, and prosperity to all the clans.
The Six Clans
Long ago, the land was divided into six great clans. Five of them were Wolf Clans, each ruling its own territory with strength, honor, and pride. They were the Yunmeng Jiang Clan, Lanling Jin Clan, Qinghe Nie Clan, Qishan Wen Clan, and the Wei Clan.
Above them all stood the Gusu Lan Clan, the only Lycan Clan in the realm. Blessed by the Moon Goddess, the Lycans possessed greater strength, wisdom, and power than ordinary wolves.
Because of their sacred bloodline, the Gusu Lan Clan was chosen as the Supreme Clan, protecting the balance between all the clans and maintaining peace across the land.
Though the five Wolf Clans often competed for power, they all respected the authority of the Gusu Lan Clan.
Whenever the Moon Goddess called for the Festival of the Silver Tether, every clan laid down its weapons, gathered beneath the full moon, and honored the ancient bond that united them all.
