   The male and female protagonists are both descendants of prominent families in Jiangnan, and their families have been friends for generations.

The author's writing is excellent; the descriptions transport the reader to the misty, rainy landscapes of Jiangnan. The text also vividly depicts many ancient customs and etiquette, such as the traditional tea-making rituals between peers and elders…
