A Dream of the Red Chamber, Like Jade Dissolved in Water

In the Bamboo Lodge, Daiyu awaits not the joyful news that her old betrothal will be fulfilled, but an imperial decree ordering her to marry someone else. Facing a prince of extraordinary beauty and inscrutable depth, the shifting complexities of court and family affairs, and the scheming people in the mansion and the palace, Daiyu's heart turns to ashes and she remains proud and aloof. After a succession of misunderstandings, her perceptive and sensitive heart finally realizes that the man who is so steadfast yet domineering, so deep and yet so devoted, is the one she is meant to spend her life with... [Shui Rong's version] That faint smile beneath the moonlight made me utterly resolute. Behind the imperial marriage decree, can you hear the stubborn, aching sigh deep in my heart? “What he can give you, I can give you too. What he hasn't given you, I can give you as well. So whatever he wants, I want too, and I also want what he doesn't.” In the Prince of Beijing's residence, with all the tenderness my stubborn heart can muster, I promise you a lifetime together. No matter how the past may change, I will never break my word. [Daiyu's version] When we first met, you were heartless. When we met again, you were unfathomable. When I lift the veil, what kind of man will I find before me? “I don't want wealth or status. I want only a heart as sincere as his. Can you give me that?” Only after enduring misunderstanding upon misunderstanding did I realize that the sincere love I longed for had already been yours from the moment I saw you again. Along this mortal road, I will stay by your side for a lifetime. Volume One: A Deep, Quiet Feeling Grows Strongest in the Cold Volume Two: How Deep Is a Love That Gives Itself Completely?
