The clouds in the sky were dyed gray due to the veil of night that had enveloped the entire Heavenly Realm. That sky never changed. It was bright during the day and dark during the night. In the Heavenly Realm it never rained, never snowed. That Realm was free from the vicissitudes of nature. The temperature was always constant and.... without any interest.

Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan was standing on the edge of the huge balcony and staring at the starry, darkened sky. The sweet, gentle breeze made his silky hair flutter behind his back. His posture was straight and rigid, as always. His gaze fixed on the horizon.

He lived a life dedicated to the souls of the Realm, free from carnal needs and base thoughts. He was forbidden to experience common emotions allowed to mortals. He was not allowed to be interested in a single person. He was bound by his obligations as a Lord. But there were times when he wondered if his whole long life would be like this, empty. Empty of emotions. But soon he would push these meaningless thoughts away and focus on running the Heavenly Realm under the supervision of the Greater Lord.

But that night would have some surprises in store for him. Noises disturbed the stillness of the night and Sovereign Lord Ying Yuan turned his gaze down to where the Heavenly Garden lay. A girl was sitting by the small fish fountain and was playing with one of them, teasing it by throwing small pebbles into the fountain. Her laugh, refreshing and pleasant, made the night filled with colors. Lord Ying Yuan observed her for a few moments. No, he had never seen her before in his Palace. Who was she? His brown eyes narrowed as he watched her as she reached into the water to tease the little fish. He used his Immortal Powers to teleport right next to her.

"Do you find it amusing to disturb the fish?", he asked with his velvety, calm voice. His expression stoic as he looked at her.
