Taotao has been by the empress's side for as long as she can remember. Naturally timid, weak, and prone to tears, she is used to living in constant fear and relying on her cousin for everything. Then one day, her aunt the empress is besieged on all sides, and her cousin Zongshi is driven out of the palace. She has no choice but to grow up.
She loves it most when Cousin Zongshi recites "Spring Banquet" to her.
First, I wish my love a thousand years of life.
Second, I wish myself lasting health.
Third, I wish we were swallows nesting beneath the rafters,
meeting year after year.
Purpose: A promise is as weighty as a mountain.
