Songs of Chu from Every Direction

"So, I'll stay by your side. We'll watch the sunset together and roam the martial world together. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" "Do you know? I've dreamed of hearing you say those words, but now I can't do it. I just can't!" A gust of wind swept by. I gazed at the man standing against it. The wind carried a chill, and his tall, lonely figure seemed desolate. His words were cold, filled with restraint and suppressed emotion. I turned and walked away. He said he couldn't do it. He couldn't. In the end, he could not give up the throne for me. In the end, he chose the realm. There was a woman who could push him into a lake without a second thought, reject his affection without mercy, slap away his outstretched hand without hesitation, and look at him without a trace of feeling. Yet he could never let her go, and was willing to endure the condemnation of everyone for her sake. There was a man who could spot her at a crowded Lantern Festival with just one glance, give up power and wealth just to win her smile, quietly listen as she poured her heart out to another man, and suffer heartbreak alone in the middle of the night. For her, he was willing to be damned beyond redemption. Those two dashing young gentlemen both gave up a beautiful realm for her without hesitation, and never regretted it, even unto death. Yet her heart belonged only to the man whose heart and eyes held nothing but the realm. For the sake of his kingdom, he would use her as a bargaining chip, and even point an arrow at her when she was taken hostage... Watch as a woman who transmigrates into the past dances through a breathtakingly tragic romance.
