Ooooh this is such a rich and gorgeous story... I love how you incorporated vocabulary from the time period, it adds so much to the world-building. And the imagery! Is stunning!! Some of my favorites: They spent happy years running around the palace, leaving mud trails on newly mopped floors, and falling through canvas doors in playful tumbles. + Seokmin sat motionless in a room of shattered porcelain and spilt wine. + His flesh made a soft noise as his body unravelled at Seokmin’s hand. + their last kiss... Wow what a ride. Thank you, I enjoyed this so much!!
