Huo Clan’s Calendar, Year of the Shattered Mirror, First cycle of Withered Bloom— an era when all illusions crack and truths stand bare. It was the one-hundred-thousandth year since the ascension of the First Golden Dragon and the First Golden Phoenix.
Beneath a sky lit with the four celestial signs, the Huo Clan rejoiced. Where others saw omens of calamity, the Huo family welcomed it as destiny. That night, within the grand chambers of the Hall of Living Flames, the heir of the clan was born.
The Patriarch, Huo Zhenhai, cradled the newborn with a trembling smile.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NocULy1ht
"From the valleys of blossoms, from the peaks that pierce the heavens, let you stand tall and endure, unyielding as the mountains, bright as the burning sky. I will name you—Yulian — jade-like waves that shatter yet endure."
Unlike the cold traditions of other clans, the Huo household filled the halls with laughter. Elders blessed the child, servants sang lullabies, and no trace of fear or burden tainted his arrival. For the Huo Clan, though destruction was their nature, love was their foundation.
Yulian’s parents stepped forward—his father, Huo Liangfeng, the next head of the clan, and his mother, Feng Lianhua, a Wind Phoenix from the Feng Clan. Their union had been born of love, not arrangement, and tonight their joy overflowed.
Lianhua held her son close, brushing her lips upon his tiny forehead. Her voice, soft and melodic, wove into a poem:
"The sky may blaze with fury, yet within you is a calm tide.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz5OVkv25b

Flow forward with clarity,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClZNzi99fN

And return always to the shore of love."
Thus, his courtesy name was given—LanHao, Bright Wave.
The chamber glowed warmly, not from fire, but from the overflowing love of the clan. From the very first breath, Huo Yulian was not a burden, not an omen—he was hope wrapped in joy.
