They first met in the forest, where a glimpse of a beautiful face stole the heart. From that meeting on, their wishes came true.
Back then, Jiang Hui confidently believed that fine clothes and good food would be enough to make a bird stay of its own free will.
Xiu Luan shook his head. "Morning dew is sweet enough, and a branch is all I need to roost. No matter how expensive it is, a golden cage is still a cage. It can't compare to the boundless mountains and rivers I've flown over."
But a seed of love had been planted, and their feelings had already taken root. He joined her in treating the world as a game of chess, making a move as the tides of fortune turned. She joined him in treating the human world as a scroll, coloring it with earthly delights, snow, moonlight, and flowers.
The palace was rocked by upheaval, and the court was full of treachery. In the end, unable to bear seeing her bird trapped in a cage, Jiang Hui smiled bitterly and let go. "Luan'er, everything that's happened has become shackles holding you prisoner. I don't want you to give up the vast world for my sake."
Xiu Luan drew her into his arms. "No matter how vast the world is, my heart has only one place to roost."
