I am Shen Qiuyue, an outsider in this world. I don't belong here. This place is steeped in feudal superstition and places far too much importance on rank. Since I dislike it, I don't want to be shackled by worldly conventions. I did everything I could to break free, calculating every step, even though I knew I was counting myself among the casualties. At last, when my younger sister took my place as the bride, I was finally about to succeed.
Father calls me an ill-fated girl who can't even secure a connection to the royal family, unlike my younger sister. Turns out he's been secretly proud of it all along. What is this nonsense? I'm so fed up. Just hang in there a little longer. I'll be free soon.
Shen Qiuyue, shall we have a drink together?
Drinking alone beneath the moon, you have been in my cup from beginning to end. Shen Qiuyue, you are the moon, and I am the star that holds you aloft. Without the moon, the stars would be lost in darkness. Shen Qiuyue...
