[ queen of 5, 10, 14, and 17 (likely on the receiving end) because she's an utter failure in the romance department. others could work with prior/assumed CR! ]
[Up for a thing with an original fantasy setting Crown Prince who mainly has the same list, as well as his own emotionally-compromised innate elemental magic? Slow-burning is good culture but I'm also up for AU'ing together some kind of established CR to provide a little more mutual comfort if you want, since they're both royalty.]
There were certain things in life that were simply too strange to be lies and YunXi believed in that. Her mother had told her many things as a child that contradicted what was supposedly common knowledge to those around her. Demonic cultivation, spirit manipulation, poisons, acupuncture seals... YunXi's path of knowledge didn't follow the same lines as normal medics. Her life didn't tend to follow normal paths anyways since her younger brother was allowed to be schooled at Cloud Recesses and her younger sister regularly drifted through the market with a generous purse. Han YunYi had been meeting secretly for weeks with a masked woman in simple clothes for weeks before the truth the elders had probably known all along was eventually leaked.
The rumors had spread about YunYi secretly meeting a maid from his family and paying her for future attention... YunYi had been secretly meeting with his half-sister YunXi, not a hidden mistress, in the winding hills behind Cloud Recesses. She wore a veil due to a growth on her face and wore simple clothing because their father was reluctant to admit YunXi was his eldest child. YunYi had always pressed YunXi to take his allowance money since his needs were always met as the family's only son, while she was the black sheep with a carbuncle and a fascination with poisons and cute things. YunXi had discovered the white rabbits behind Cloud Recesses while sneaking around looking for poisonous plants, that had been where Sizhui had managed to catch her and calmly peel away the the rumors hiding the truth.
This evening was a little different though. She wasn't dressed all in black traveling gear slinking her way through the shadows wearing a mask or wearing a maid's dress with a veil. There happened to be a young lady wearing a simple blue dress (one of her fanciest, actually), a jade bracelet (any cultivator would recognize a clan treasure), and a simple hair pin. So what if she was waiting at the gate normally used by those traveling to and from Cloud Recesses? YunYi wasn't who she was waiting for and she wasn't wearing her usual veil since she'd finally managed to cure the growth on her face.
YunXi just wanted to have a little fun surprising Sizhui.
[The fluffiest, purest idiot by far. Open to all prompts, with a strong tendency toward 10+12+17. Tends to put people on pedestals, so anyone he crushes on must be out of his league, right?]
[Despite how she wore her heart on her sleeve, Skye struggles constantly with sharing her feelings. Especially when it came to feelings of the romantic kind. She was terrified.]
