Locked Behind Palace Walls

Recommendation: Admire the fallen blossoms, my lord, and don’t laugh. My devoted vigil at the old western window was not in vain! Wherever you go, young master, I’ll follow you to the ends of the earth! Synopsis: He is a falcon soaring through the sky, a spirited young man with a dashing bearing. He has never known sorrow, yet no one knows that inside, he is as empty as a lonely island. She is a frail little swallow beneath the eaves, cautious and sensitive, with a tender heart. She has tasted all the bitterness of the world, yet no one understands that inside, she is as warm as the summer sun. Since she smiled radiantly at him during a spring wedding feast, a graceful figure dressed in white as snow has stood upon his lonely island. From then on, he knew that nothing he had known before could compare. Since he brought warmth to her in the snow on a silent winter night, the duckweed became a steadfast reed, its heart set on a rock. From then on, she wanted only to drink with him and talk of life in the countryside. From now on, he became the umbrella that sheltered her from wind and rain, and she became the light that brightened his lonely island. Our life together will be long. I wish to know you, and love you, for all my days, without end.
