He stands in a pavilion in the imperial gardens, looking down over his palace city. An attendant notices the new emperor's gaze and looks toward a graceful beauty passing nearby. Bowing and scraping, he says, “This servant is ignorant, Your Majesty. I don't know which household this young madam belongs to. Perhaps she's come to pay her respects to the Dowager Consort.” Judging by her hair and clothes, the woman is married. What a pity, the attendant thinks.

One careless mistake, and on a snowy night he's hunted down and left on the verge of death in an orchard. At the lowest point in his life, a young maid from the orchard struggles to save him. In the snow and wind, she seeks a doctor and medicine for him, yet makes no attempt to cling to him. All she wants is for him to help her ask the orchard's owners for her contract of sale, so she can live freely. He agrees and gives her a generous sum of money. But after returning to the Duke's estate, Xiao Cheng keeps dreaming of the little maid who sat beside his bed while he was half-conscious: her long, slender neck bent slightly forward, her unadorned hand on his forehead, her soft voice... Her image clings to him day and night. Gradually, he can't sleep. Someone offers him advice: she's just a lowborn orphan who once served as a slave. If he wants her, he can simply bring her into the Duke's estate. He finds her and proposes taking her as his concubine. - Xiang'e was once a maid in a great household, but was punished by being sent to do hard labor in an orchard.
