One day, a distinguished guest visits the Old Man of the Moon's residence. Brew a pot of Dongting Moonlight tea, and listen as the Old Man of the Moon's old friend recalls the tangled loves and resentments of his nine disciples and their spouses.
All things in this world part and come together. Grudges and grievances, who can untangle them?
On white paper, ink spills into the fragrance of a hundred flowers. In the secluded bamboo grove, a sorrowful melody rings out as strings snap and blood is shed. In a Jiangnan garden, lotus flowers reflected in jade-green waters turn the sky red. Through a thousand generations, nothing can rival love.

The water-moon tea is gone, but the incense still burns. From afar, a song drifts softly: the song of a dream fulfilled.
