Drunk on Hibiscus Beneath the Ninth Heaven

[Mutual Redemption + Immortal-and-Mortal Romance + Court Intrigue]

I’ll free you from your mortal body and sickly bones, and you’ll teach me the lovesick ways of the human world.

I’ll use my immortal bones to free you from your mortal body, and your true heart will make me fall hopelessly in love.

An immortal in the pond, a guest in the mortal realm!

Perhaps every meeting is a reunion after a long separation,

and every act of redemption is two people making each other whole.

Come see how a lotus in the pond offers herself as the passage,

and how a mortal king makes a pact with his heart!
