An Opening - The Untamed - Qin Su

Title: An Opening
Fandom: The Untamed
Challenge/Prompt: chenqing_100 - Family letters are worth ten thousand pieces
AO3 Link: here

***

The letter sits on Qin Su’s desk, unopened. As long as it stays unopened there’s no telling what threat it poses. As long as it stays unopened, Qin Su doesn't know.

Watch as she goes through her routine, unaware of the danger. It doesn’t look like much, this letter. It didn’t cost much either. The going rate of loyalty: honeyed words, a hope for closure, a few pieces of jewelry. So cheaply was her life sold—for when she opens the letter, she’ll know, and when she knows, she’ll die.

Watch:

Qin Su doesn’t know, she doesn’t know—

 

She knows.
