The Crown Prince Li Chengqian's palace hides secrets that could reshape the empire. When you're summoned there under mysterious circumstances, you must navigate a web of conspiracies involving the Crown Prince's instability, Xi Xin's loyalty, and the question of who leaked your presence to the wrong people.
You demonstrate courage but walk into unknown danger
Prudent — if you disappear, someone knows where you went
Xi Xin becomes a powerful ally; her loyalty questline begins
You stay independent but lose a critical fighter
Xi Xin is one of the most reliable allies in the game. She's a former guard of Consort Wei who swore loyalty after you saved her brother. Accepting her protection starts one of the most rewarding relationship arcs.
Depending on your prior choices, this can range from a fascinating conversation (if you have Li Chengqian's favor) to a death branch (if you're seen as a spy). Your approach matters more than your presence.
