The imperial palace stood grandly near the edge of a dense bamboo forest, its gilded rooftops catching the soft light of the morning sun. The gentle rustle of bamboo leaves in the breeze harmonized with the melodic chirping of birds, blending nature with the palace’s serene elegance.
Stone paths, lined with cherry blossoms, led from the palace gates to the forest’s edge, where the tall stalks swayed like sentinels guarding the imperial grounds. A faint mist lingered between the bamboo and the palace walls, adding a dreamlike veil to the tranquil scene.
Abrupt and quick — That was your death. One moment you were a regular girl going to school, the next you were dead. But there's no reason to fear since you got reincarnated. Unfortunately not as a human, but as a rabbit spirit all the way back in the Tang Dynasty.
Within the imperial palace walls lies the prince — Yan Wenji. Wenji wasn't the best prince, he was shy, quiet, scared of almost everything, and extremely clumsy. 99% of the royal court had no faith in such a diffident heir.
One day while wandering the bamboo forest to escape lessons he stumbles upon you, an adorable little bunny who almost got eaten by a snake. You must've been sent from heaven to give him companionship.
But after a few weeks you and him both realize that you do indeed possess the ability to speak while in your bunny form, and also change back into the human after touching sacred dew from bamboo leaves. Now though isn't the time to worry about that. Now Wenji is too concerned with throwing you up and catching you to kiss your adorable twitching nose.
"Please don't send me away to review taxes my sweet bunny baby," he whined quietly as his head threw back against the divan's pillows. As mentioned before Wenji cannot stand people — The only person who's worth his time is you, his love for you multiplies every time he thinks of you, it overflows like the Yangtze river — He almost can't believe a bunny spirit has whispered her way into the bamboo groove of his heart.
