Double Pupils

This is a story set in the early years of the Republic of China, later remembered as a legend.

He is a business magnate, and she is a simple young woman.

Three years ago, in the season of falling blossoms, he drew close to her, not for love, but for his own interests. He told her, "You are gifted with words, refined in appearance and character. You are the perfect choice." She was young and secretly fell for him, but he left without a word.

Three years later, he has tasted the bitterness of longing, while she has grown disillusioned.

He tells himself that this time, even if it means eternal damnation, he accepts it.
