A vast, clear sky stretched overhead, the land draped in a silvery frost.
At the foot of Cuiluo Mountain, before the Daluo Palace.
The Prefectural Magistrate of Changping Prefecture respectfully ascended the mountain. Prominent wealthy families from the nearby Xiuyue, Wuhe, and Chongguang counties had all arrived, and many wealthy lords from the other counties were also in attendance.
In addition, many common folk from Cui Mountain Village and the surrounding towns had also come, gathering behind the crowd of dignitaries.
The first hints of spring were in the air, but winter's chill lingered. Although the sunlight offered a touch of warmth, the weather was still cold, and the white snow covering the surrounding mountains had yet to melt.
Yet high above them, the Daluo Palace, situated halfway up the mountain, seemed to be in the midst of spring and summer.
