A Thousand-Fold Tangle

Spring’s wine-drenched slumber comes softly to Xu Chen; the winds and clouds have not scattered, yet gather in wild tumult. Clear waters reflect a steadfast heart and lofty ambition; in the sleepless bloom of youth, dreams enter the heart. If everything went as I wished, if everything could be undone, if I could stay, then where should I be? No! He cannot stop here. So where will he go? I think it should be in your direction. But what will be there? In truth, the original aspiration lies just ahead. Your direction? No! It is his direction too. And that is enough. Muzi Huan awoke from his dream, vowing to change everything in reality: his parents and brothers, his beloved confidante, his mentor and friends... In the dream, Muzi Huan died of old age and returned to the real world. Now, awakened as if from a dream, he has lived two lives, and in this life, he will not betray love. Those who disturb my heart, those who abandon me: I will meet them with a faint smile and indifference, regard them coldly, and leave them behind with composure.
