It was as if something had ignited in the courtyard.
Upon a closer sniff, apart from the faint smell of mint on the man's body, there were no other smells.
After going to bed, Mother Gui usually had someone extinguish most of the lights in the courtyard to prevent disturbing the master's sleep, so this bright red light could not have been caused by the lanterns in the courtyard.
That's not how it was before she went to sleep.
Su Luo glanced at the man beside her. He was sleeping soundly, his long eyelashes covered his eyes like a fan, motionless, like a frozen black butterfly.
She got up quietly, deciding to figure this out.
The room was heated with an earth dragon, but when she got out of bed, Su Luo still shivered with cold. She grabbed a shawl, wrapped it around herself, and tiptoed to the window, slightly pushing it open.
The harsh cold air struck her face instantly, quickly clearing her slightly muddled mind.
She opened her mouth wide, whispering an incredulous gasp.
