At seven that evening, the masquerade ball began right on time.
Light and shadow danced across the deck as mysterious men and women in lavish formalwear and masks mingled at the ball.
The night at sea was peaceful and romantic. Moonlight spilled down like a veil of mist, lending the ball a dreamlike glow.
[Here we go!]
[Whoa, they really went all out.]
[Where did the production crew find all these gorgeous NPCs?]
[How do I sign up to be an NPC on Love Watch? This is genuinely important to me.]
[There's dancing tonight AND all kinds of one-on-one heart-to-hearts. This is so exciting. I feel like the Hot Search is going to explode.]
[Where are the guests? Where are they? Where did my whole entire guest go?!]
As the viewers called for them, the guests made their entrances one by one, quietly blending into the crowd at the ball.
Liu Woxing wore a mysterious purple mermaid gown, with a formal hat adorned with black netting tilted over her eyes, which peeked out from beneath her mask.
In a pleasant mood, she wandered around, her gaze drifting over everything she found new and interesting.
Both the ball on the deck and the masquerade format, so different from a traditional banquet, felt wonderfully novel to her.
Elsewhere was a figure in red.
Lai Bingxuan wore a red velvet gown, her long, seaweed-like hair loose around her shoulders. A black mask embroidered with dark red patterns covered her face.
She sat in a cushioned chair, listlessly sipping red wine, seemingly long accustomed to occasions like this.
Xu Shuangrong stood in the middle of the dance floor. Although she did nothing at all, passersby couldn't help giving her a second look.
Her look tonight was undoubtedly the biggest departure from her usual style.
