    At dawn, the palace gates opened, separating two worlds. On one side, a crowd of people gathered outside the gates, shivering with cold but full of anticipation, hoping to find their daughters who had been away from home for many years the moment the gates opened. On the other side, dozens of palace maids lined up in the deep corridors, still adhering to the rules of the forbidden palace and not daring to speak, yet each one craned their necks, their eyes glistening with tears. It was late autumn, and the morning was chilly. Jiang Jinyue, carrying her bundle, stood in the middle of the line, pulling her light blue dress collar tighter, and stood on tiptoe, peering outside. A flock of wild geese flew overhead, and her heart seemed to have flown with them out of the solemn palace. Once she left the palace, all those things would no longer concern her. Soon, the procession began, and the palace gates were filled with the chaotic scene of families recognizing each other and weeping. The noise, absent from the palace, instantly enlivened her heart.
