About This Novel

Two low-class people who were crushed by fate carefully guarded each other's lives in the Forbidden City with a red rope, half a piece of cake, and countless "ums". They met in the most miserable corner of the Forbidden City - he was a young eunuch in the Jingshi Room, and she was a laundry maid in the Clothes Bureau. He was illiterate and couldn't speak. He could only put half of the cake he had saved on the stone steps and cover it with leaves. She said nothing, just squatted down and stuffed the cake into her sleeves. He braided a red and green rope and tied it around her wrist. She wore it for many years until the rope broke and broke into several strips of cloth, which were then connected one by one. The eunuchs were not allowed to get close to the maids in the palace. One look could kill you. They could only look at each other from a distance and hide all their thoughts under the pillow and in the ashes of the stove. Later she left the palace and he stayed. Many years later, they met again under a locust tree. No hugs, no tears, just the words: "Come in." This is a story about how two disabled people carefully protect each other. There is no wind and moon, only a rope.
