#Zhuang Zhou Dreams of Butterflies#
Dark currents swirled through Cangyou Province.
On his way to the Li residence for a deadly banquet, Wei Zhongming was struck by a potent poison and hid in a secluded cave in the courtyard of the Pear Blossom Pavilion.
Suddenly, a graceful, delicate young woman, carrying the bright moonlight and the fragrance of pear blossoms, burst into the hidden cave...
She burst into his life.
And into his heart.
In the autumn gardens of Shanglin, verdant greens mingled with golden hues.
Wei Zhongming was going to teach Wan Li how to shoot arrows, ride horses, and hunt...
During a break, she split open a green tangerine from the fruit platter.
Unlucky her, the first segment she put in her mouth was so sour that her whole face scrunched up.
Wei Zhongming quickly reached out and cupped her chin, telling her she didn't have to eat it if she couldn't handle it.
A friend passing by saw this and froze in shock.
Wait, was this really that cold, ruthless, high-ranking general?
The friend thought: Am I seeing ghosts in broad daylight, or has Wei Zhongming had a complete change of heart?
The friend sighed and asked Wei Zhongming, "Good heavens, did you take a wife, or bring home an ancestor to worship?"
