An Chaoyan, the top courtesan at Wanjun Pavilion, is a “commodity” who will never be free or belong to herself. As a girl, she once met a blood-soaked young man.
Their bond was just as the poem says: “Our eyes meet, brimming with unspoken feeling, as if we had known each other in a past life.”
Fate ultimately could not sever their bond. He rescues her from peril, gives her freedom, and pulls her out of the depths of darkness. He gives up everything to admire pear blossoms with her, watch the dawn and sunset glow, and travel the land of Shenzhou together.
