The Song and Liao dynasties have been enemies for years. Though peace has been temporarily restored on the surface, tensions simmer beneath it. At this time, the Song emperor sends his most beloved princess to marry into the Liao royal family, leaving his ministers unable to fathom his motives.
In the end, the princess dies on the battlefield between Song and Liao. Who killed her? The Liao? The Song? Her loved ones? Her enemies?
They gazed at each other in silence for a long while. Then she asked softly,
"How deeply can you love someone?"
Yelü Xiugé had not studied Chinese for long and was not good at saying the right thing. He raised his eyes to the east and said gravely,
"I once heard that if you travel ten thousand miles east, you will reach the sea. I thought nothing in this world could be deeper than the sea."
His words came out increasingly haltingly.
"I love you as deeply as the sea."
Duan Yang heard him and fell silent, lost in thought. Then she smiled and murmured,
"When I was in Bianjing, I once asked someone else the same question. He filled a little wine cup and told me, 'The depth of the star at the top of the heavens reflected in this wine is how deeply I love you.'"
