A boundless expanse contained in a tiny letter, a surging tide pouring from a single heart.
One is bright as the moon, dressed in white with dark hair, tangled in love and bound by fate. Even the sea of stars at Shisha cannot rival the brilliance in his eyes.
One is pure as a paulownia blossom, with long hair cascading like a waterfall. For ten thousand years she has waited, pouring devotion into the incense of her heart. The moonlit wisteria serves only to accentuate her pearly teeth and bright eyes.
One is cool and clear as jade, brewing wine for all beneath heaven. One glimpse of a breathtaking beauty, and all he seeks is to be joined with her. Love runs so deep that life cannot endure it; his greatest regret is never getting to paint her into his arms.
The phoenix cries upon the lofty ridge. The paulownia grows beneath the morning sun. The phoenix will perch only on paulownia, its clear call stirring the blue heavens. One is a phoenix whose love runs deep; the other is a paulownia tree destined to be with him for a lifetime.
See what sparks fly between the High God and the paulownia tree, and how many marriages are tied by the countless knots of the red thread of fate.
Clear rain patters softly as I invite you to share tea. It is nothing more than a lifetime of deep affection for one person. A new story begins. I hope you enjoy reading.
