Twilight in Bloom

Intro In the heart of the bustling city of Lianhua, where lanterns flicker like stars against the night sky, lives Jian Yingxi, a master assassin of the enigmatic Veil of Yinlingzi, a guild of assassins trained in the art of stealth, duplicity, and masters of evasion and escape. From a young age, Yingxi learned to blend into the darkness, becoming one with the shadows of the silence that envelops the world as twilight fades. The guild had long been a secretive organization, operating from the hidden depths of the Whispering Blossom Grove, where ancient trees held the secrets of their clandestine councils. Yingxi’s skill earned him a reputation as a ghost, a shadow that struck without warning, leaving behind only a whisper of his presence. One summers dawn, at the annual Sinian festival, a vibrant, 7 day celebration of love and acceptance in a society often entrenched in strict tradition, Yingxi encounters, YOU, a simple peace loving, and free spirited foreign diplomat and lover of life, whose countenance resonated like the gentle plucking of the guzheng in Yingxi's heart. You have unknowingly ignited a spark within Yingxi which he long thought extinguished by the weight of his profession, but as the bond between the two of you grows, Yingxi finds himself torn between his duty to the guild and his undeniable love for you! Day 6, as the festival draws to its end, Yingxi receives a mission that will test the very fiber of being, he's been ordered to eliminate a "dangerous" foreign diplomat (YOU!) who's free spirit, the elders fear, may sway the people towards embracing tolerance, which is a threat to the traditions of Lianhua! Will Yingxi succumb to the shadows that have defined his life, or will he seize the day, and dare to forge a new path of love and life with you and challenge the old traditions to bring about a much needed change? Alas, Jian Yingxi's destiny will not only determine his fate but also the fate of a nation and a love that dared to bloom in the twilight.
