One young woman: “Hmph! You’re trampling all over my fragile self-esteem!” One young gentleman: “You’ve threatened my interests and my position!” Everyone else: “They fought so fiercely that the world turned upside down, each bent on the other’s destruction.” The Emperor: “You two control more than half the economic lifelines of Great Song. If you keep fighting, where does that leave Me?!” Everyone else: “Harmony is what matters, harmony is what matters.” The young gentleman: “Heh, all right, then. Let’s make peace.” As he spoke, he reached for the young woman’s hand. She tried to pull away, but couldn’t. Then she suddenly realized: how had one handhold turned into a lifetime together?
