MUSEUM OF LOVE — PART TWO
Pairing : zhao yufan x f reader!
Warning : psychological abuse, emotional neglect, family conflict, public shaming, false accusations, intense grief and mourning themes, death of a character, childbirth-related tragedy, isolation, betrayal, gaslighting themes, strong emotional distress, angst-heavy narratives. Synopsis : in the late 1990s Taipei royal household, reputation is everything and truth is rarely spoken aloud. the Lin and Zhao families are bound by tradition, status, and carefully arranged expectations. One daughter is praised for her grace and perfection, while the other is quietly reduced to an afterthought present, but never truly seen. within the palace walls, love is displayed like ceremony and duty is mistaken for devotion. every smile is observed, every silence is judged, and every rumor becomes something heavier than truth. when an irreversible tragedy strikes, the balance of the household fractures. grief does not remain private. it spreads, reshaping loyalty, memory, and belief itself. In a place where appearances decide innocence, one person becomes the center of a story she never chose.

1998, Taipei Royal Residence

The palace returned to its rhythm piece by piece, but it was not the same rhythm it once held. It felt forced now, carefully maintained, like a fragile performance everyone had agreed to continue despite knowing something vital had already been lost.
