Synopsis

Before marrying the old county magistrate, Yao Qiniang hadn't dared imagine what her future might hold.

After the old magistrate passed away, all she could think was that at last she could spend the rest of her life surrounded by fine clothes, good food, and endless riches.

But she never expected to be hounded by a widower who took whatever he wanted and showed not the slightest regard for reason.

Many years later, she suddenly remembered those hazy scenes from her past.

“What is your name?” the handsome young man had once asked her.

Hidden behind a flowering tree, she could have refused to answer, but instead she spoke:

“Yao Chun,” she said softly.

Flower shadows weigh upon the heavy gates, a gauzy curtain spreads the pale moonlight. What a lovely dusk.

Three times in two years I've failed the spring, but now that I'm back, I'll make the most of it.

He was twelve years older than her. Spring came and summer passed, autumn brought the harvest, and winter its rest. Now, after twelve years, he finally held her in his arms.
