This idea just popped into my head but thinking about courtesan!WKX who is used to all sorts of influential men requesting for his “services”.
He thinks he’s seen it all until he’s booked one night by the Head of Tian Chuang, who only wants him for information about a case.

“You know, my services do not come cheap.”
“Naturally. Your time will be appropriately compensated.”
“...what I mean to say is, you’ve already booked me for the night, you might as well take full advantage of it. Now, what can I do for you?”
“Then, perhaps music.”
“Music?”

So, for the first night in as long as he can remember, WKX does not spend it entangled in bed. Rather, he spends part of it playing a few flute pieces, while his curious little patron remains seated at the small table, liquor untouched.
“That was lovely Wen-gongzi. Thank you.”
“That was lovely Wen-gongzi. Thank you.”
And for the first time, he receives a word of thanks for what he does.
Before he can add anything else, the man is already gone, leaving him free for the rest of the night and with far too much time alone with his thoughts.
