A fallen star descends upon the mortal realm, holding the Jade Pivot in his hands,
Dressed in brocade and blessed with years of splendor, yet alone and adrift.
Beauty fills his eyes, drifting past like light and shadow,
Only a confidant remains to share his innermost thoughts.
He calculates every scheme, yet in the end it all seems a dream,
Splendor fades away, leaving him light and free.
He won the world but lost her. All this splendor before his eyes was, in the end, a dream of Nanke.
