Summary
“How about you tell me why you’re here?!” he demanded, screaming the words into the empty void surrounding him. “This is a cage built for gods, right? So what are you supposed to be?”
“A cage built for gods,” it echoed back in his own voice, a touch of dry amusement in its tone as its pitch shifted, rising to the painfully familiar soft feminine it seemed to prefer taunting him with. “Or mortals with delusions.”
The prison of regret.

Or: that one where young Luo Binghe’s career goal is ‘Bride’.

Summary
Almost a century ago, Essek had met a person who shaped the entirety of his life. A human, disguised as a drow, somehow alive and well despite being in the very centre of the Dynasty. A brilliant wizard disguised as a merchant, somehow capable of casting dunamancy. And not just any spells - Essek didn't even know one could possess such power.
Now, standing in the shadows of the Bright Queen's throne, looking at the ragtag group in front of them, he barely kept his hands from shaking. One of the intruders, a red-haired human, looked exactly like that mysterious man from his past, but a decade or so younger.
Humans didn't live that long. And they certainly didn't age in reverse.
This was impossible.
