Weaving Azure Beauty

Beneath the red plum tree, red plum fruit; a bewitching beauty draws the soul. First clash: Beneath the red plum tree, they face each other. She outwits him and escapes his encirclement. I’ll ride to you, bearing a scarlet sword, to sever the silken threads that bind us. Second clash: In the cold moonlight, they cross swords to kill. She wounds him and takes his belongings. Ancient legends, whispered secrets, a mysterious black jade pendant: all are bound together in this tangled tale. Third clash: He abducts her; she captures his heart.
