They first met in the misty mountains. She was an orphan whose name no one knew, and he was a young nobleman of mysterious identity.
That day, his hands were cool as he helped her to her feet.
His blue robe stirred in the wind. He said, "A woman may have a harder time in this world. But the land is vast, and you can always find a path of your own."
She said, "All right."
Later, she crossed mountains and rivers to reach Luoyang. In the Golden Throne Hall, she bowed three times before the emperor.
The fragrance of medicine lingered in the air. She said, "I once received your kindness, my lord. I wish to serve at your side. Mountains and rivers may lie between us, but I will never part from you again."
He said, "All right."
