Three Thousand Years with You

“By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:

The daughter of the Shangguan family is blessed with beauty and talent, gentle and refined, and has greatly pleased Us.

Thus, with Heaven and Earth as witness, We hereby grant Shangguan Yuli, daughter of the Shangguan family, the title of Crown Princess...”

Ten miles of wedding finery, a phoenix crown and red bridal veil, holding your hand, would you grow old with me?

“By imperial decree, Consort Yu has conspired with powerful families and disrupted the harem. Her virtue is wanting.

In consideration of her service over the years and the affection between us, she is hereby confined to Shuanghua Palace. From this day onward, she may not leave its gates without Our summons...”

A love gone astray, a fleeting dream of glory. Once we held hands, but now we can never grow old together!

May the rest of our lives pass without meeting again, without remembering one another.
