Dashing Youth: The Way of Nature

A fateful calamity: whose years did it leave in ruins?

A dream of mortal life: whose three thousand strands of hair did it sever?

So much infatuation, so much longing, yet none of it can bind an everlasting love that lasts until the end of time.

One dream in the mortal world, half a lifetime drunk on beauty. To whom can sorrow be entrusted?

One is a down-and-out young Taoist from a mountain, the other a peerless young woman of the new generation of the Tang Clan. They should have had nothing to do with each other, yet each appeared before the other.

Separated by a narrow stream, they gaze at one another in silence, their feelings unspoken.

But fate is cruel. Burdened by calamities of the mortal world, the young Taoist is destined to have no easy path in love.

In the distant future, a woman in red will always gaze toward a small island in Yingzhou, tears in her eyes as she murmurs, "You damn Taoist..."

And on that lonely island, a young man in a blue Taoist robe will keep watching the woman in red, his eyes reddening as he chokes out, "I'm sorry..."
