On the run from an arranged marriage, she picked up a cold-faced Taoist nun, then rescued a flower courtesan who had leaped out a window.
Three women from vastly different backgrounds crowded into one carriage. Though strangers to one another, they became sisters who would risk their lives for each other.
Then a man joined them along the way, saying his name was Ling Feng and that he was headed in the same direction.
The journey stretched on. He cared for her tenderly and guarded her at every turn, weaving warmth into their everyday life;
She kept up a prim front, but her eyes always wandered to him, and she thought of him day after day.
For the sake of saving her sisters, she finally went to the arranged marriage she had once fled.
When her veil was lifted,
she learned that the man she had spent the whole journey avoiding was also the man she had loved all along.
