"Fallen Blossoms"
As heavy snow blanketed the land, a man in white saved a girl suffering from hunger and cold. She was fourteen that year. Perhaps that day was when she was reborn, but she never imagined it would become the beginning of a lifetime of suffering. She fell in love with the man in white, who was four years older than her, but could only keep her feelings quietly hidden in her heart.
She smiled and asked him, "One day, when I've outlived my usefulness, will you still treat me this way?"
The man in white stood on the pavilion, still untouched by the dust of the world. He lowered his eyes without a word, leaving a long silence between them.
She turned away. Her red dress was so dazzling, and two trails of tears slowly fell onto the blue stone slabs.
What are you and I to each other? Why are you so good to me, only to turn around and push me into one beautiful, heartbreaking trap after another, leaving me unable to escape? Sometimes I hate you so much, Mu Liuxuan!
