Yun Tiaoyue, a talented girl from the south of the Yangtze River, was taken aback by the powerful Duke Wen Jingjue on a boat in the drizzle and was taken to Beijing. He built a gorgeous "Cage Moon Pavilion" for her, imitating the scenery of his hometown, and pampered her with fine clothes and food, but he could not give her the freedom she longed for most.
Yun Taoyue escaped four times and was captured four times. Wen Jingjue's love twisted into crazy possession, and finally broke her legs with his own hands in a rage: "This way, you can never leave again." From then on, she was trapped on the moon viewing platform, wearing shackles, and her heart was far away.
The body is disabled but the will is not disabled. While Wen Jingjue went on an expedition, Yun Tiaoyue dragged his broken body out of the cage. When Wen Jingjue returned in triumph, he saw only blood and withered osmanthus flowers on the ground. He won the war, but lost her forever. From then on, the golden cage was left empty, and I regretted the waning moon for the rest of my life.
This is a poignant story of love and captivity, freedom and sacrifice. The canary would rather die than break out of the cage, but the birdkeeper finally understands: the more tightly you hold on to some things, the more they will pass away like quicksand.
