Lore[]
Story (Event)[]
The chinaware incense burner is sending out fragrance, adding the warmth from the burning coal, the room feels a bit stuffy.
It's early summer but the coal is still burning in the room. Several coughs come from the room, feeling weak and fragile.
Jiang Wan half leans on the bed, her face redden because of too much coughing.
She is holding a book that she asked the doorkeeper to buy the other day. She's so absorbed in the heroic romance in the book that she doesn't notice the maidservant.
'My lady, the Lord said you should rest and not read too much.'
Jiang Wan put down the book and said, 'Nobody will know if you keep the secret.'
—Deep Longing
The daughter of City Jin's mayor is a renowned talent that she could compose a poem in 7 steps.
But she was born weak and never stepped out of the palace.
She had a cold some time back and lied on the bed for half a month. She now sits before the window holding the book, but she is not reading, just turning the pages randomly.
What a romantic world it is! But her own is this little window with a little yard.
The maidservant seems to understand her and suggests, 'The peach flowers bloom beautifully today, why not take a walk in the yard?'
—Restrained Youth
The peach flowers are in full blossom in the yard. A whole tree of flowers looks so luxurious.
Jiang Wan reads the book with one hand supporting her head. She was asked to read the classics, but she just cannot resist the charm of the world of jianghu.
Suddenly, there is a rustling sound from the roof. She turns around and finds a handsome man lying on the wall, searching for something.
He finds her too. And then he jumps down nimbly and quietly like a cat.
The man stands tall and straight. He moves powerfully and yet smoothly, full of charm.
In an instant, the hero in the book takes shape.
—Valley and Cloud
She now knows he's Fei Xingzhi, the mysterious wine-drinking swordsman.
She heard of his name and his stories.
From within the unruliness, Jiang Wan glimpses a precious touch of straightforwardness and chivalry.
For no reason, she made a bet with him with the Orchid Nectar made by her father.
'By the dusk the rain picks up, under the willow we parted the way.' The place of the Orchid Nectar is hidden in the riddle and he has three days to crack it.
If she wins, he will have to accept a request of hers.
Maybe she has lived a life without ripples for too long. The sudden appearance of the man becomes an accident rarely seen in her life.
—Valley and Cloud
Three days later.
'By the dusk the rain picks up, under the willow we parted the way.' Two lines from two poems form 'Red Rain' by combining the alliteration and end rhyme. This is not an easy one.
'As the youth leaves like a sunset, the peach flower falls like red rain. Red rain is the peach flowers, so the wine must be stored under the peach tree. Am I right?'
She thought a ranger in jianghu would have not known too much in literature, but he is right about it.
But Orchid Nectar is the favorite of her dad. One that has been kept for many years and Jiang Wan will not give in easily.
She points the peach trees in the yard and smiles slyly.
'Then, young hero, do you know which peach tree is it?'
—Hidden Pearl
'You win. What do you want me to do?'
Though she actually lost, Jiang Wan used some tricks. She just didn't anticipate that he would accept it so directly.
She suddenly remembered the ending of the story she just read. The hero rides to the mountain top and views the sunrise.
What kind of view will that be? She never knew.
The mountain wind is chilly and the night is late. On the mountain pass, Fei's horse dashes.
She, sitting in front of him, clutches his clothes tightly. Her heart beats so fast like a beating drum.
He has her in his embrace and shields her from the wind.
His long hair flutters in the wind. Several strands cling to her nose and feel itchy.
Her heartbeat slows down.
—Orchid Life
Atop the mountain, the glow pierces the layers of clouds and shine down. It's so magnificent but also so quiet. She feels something is bumping in her heart and warms her up.
The wind is still chilly but she feels cold no more.
Fei takes a bamboo leaf and starts playing a tune. It echoes in the valley and feels ethereal.
She looks at the man whose clothes fluttering in the wind, lost.
The golden light outlines his tall and strong figure.
Twitter of birds and beautiful music, all so clean.
—Red Rain
