Chapter 1
the pleasant breeze is twirling under the calm embrace of the twilight sun and calmly caress the flowers. at a far distance , under the weeping willow he stood tall like a pale sentinel in white like winter mourning in human form . his face still carved with silence , revealed nothing but time's cold discipline . yet in his eyes , sorrow gathered like dusk, quiet storms behind glass, holding years unspoken. Before his mother's grave stand the boy who once wept, now grown from pain, rooted by grief but yet rising , like a tree that learned to bloom in shadow. he then placed the bouquet calmly at the grave which says ' Hua Xing - 1979 to 2009 ' . lowering his head he said in the same monotonous non-emotional voice " i became the man who always wanted me to be mom hope you'll be happy.
far from the fields in a entirely distinct time zone, a man paced restlessly across the bedroom floor, barefoot on the cold tiles, his thoughts spiraling with every step. The early morning light filtered weakly through the curtains, casting long, uncertain shadows. His brows were furrowed, jaw clenched tight—clearly still shaken by the call he’d received just past six. That voice, calm but heavy, had carried a weight he couldn’t ignore. Now, unable to sit still, he moved aimlessly, one hand raking through his hair, the other clenched in a tense fist. he said to himself " clan leader want him there at the coronation at any cost and here i have literally no idea about him, where the hell are you Xin Shuang?" he yelled .once again the phone he was holding brutally ringed but like a sea finding calm after a storm , his expression softened at the appearance of the name mentioned . he picked up the call and a gentle curve formed on his face. "good morning nu shi sorry i forgot its evening there" he said hesitating by the mistake he just made. "You don't have to be sorry Chen, tell me how are you ? is Xin still irritates you? She asked in a gentle concerned voice." Xin Shuang" he said being frustrated but then remembering something he said" young master is as same as you left him , still going to clubs came being a total mess and most importantly not picking up my call from more than 12 hours ". his expression changed again not furrowed not frustrated but concerned this time he added" and now master want me to bring him back to Ju song before the coronation"." i called to discuss about the same thing , i need you to bring him back to China tomorrow but to Jevian valley behind the emperor knowledge , spend some days there and be back here one day before coronation "the lady on the other side told him .he asked" will he be ok?" . "he has to be, tell him if he will go against my will he can never be back to New York . fine i need to end this call for now see you soon Chen" saying that she ended the call in a hurry. he placed the phone on the side table near sofa and let his body fall over it motionless. after an hour the slow click of the unlocking door stirred his senses cause his mind had never truly drifted into sleep. at the door stand a man with almost 6.5 feet height , he look quit drunk yet in his senses . Chen left the place as quick as he recognised the figure standing at the door .he held his collar and asked shaking him " where the hell was you for this long?". "none of your business i guess" Shuang replied rudely. "it is my business and you can do nothing about it "saying that Chen turned his back towards Shuang and added "we are going back to China this evening ,get ready "and left the common room .that single name was enough to shatter his world .with a confused expression he followed Chen towards his room saying " what are you talking about? i am not going there at any cost". "you have to, if you want to ever come back here again" saying that he took his blazer and left there shared flat leaving Xin completely shocked .
the evening sun made its presence in the sky. Xin Shuang came out through the glass doors, the cold breeze hit him carrying an unhomely scent of a light ,sweet and floral flower. "We are not at the Ju song airport right?" he turned around facing Chen and asked ." you still remember , ya we are at the jevian valley airport , the one you mentioned is under reconstruction and jevian valley is near to Ju song "Chen replied . "i should ask mom about this " saying that he took his phone out of his pocket and before he can call his mother got interrupted by Chen's voice . "the airport is at the lower altitude and the people of valley live at the higher peaks of mountains so sorry but no internet here "then added "we should go there before the darkness cover the land the forest here is more dense than in Ju song".
At the royal palace of javian valley
The room shimmered with the quiet dignity of royalty, its tall windows draped in flowing lavender silk that caught the evening light. At the heart of the room sat a glossy white grand piano, its surface dotted with tiny stickers—stars, smiley faces, and treble clefs—as if a child had decorated it in secret rebellion. Gilded picture frames displayed not portraits, but colorful crayon drawings of musical scenes: a lion playing the trumpet, a cat dancing on piano keys. Soft plush animals rested on a velvet settee, their button eyes gleaming under the light of a chandelier that tinkled gently with every breeze, sounding faintly like wind chimes. Music notes danced across the wallpaper, subtle enough to blend into the royal pattern, yet whimsical enough to make the walls feel alive. a newly adult man lie there on his bed with earphone in one of his ears and whispering the melody of his favourite song .a slow sound of people moving over dry leaves caught his attention . within the small fraction of seconds he disappeared from there leaving the door half open behind him .
