The Abandoned Wife's Last-Ditch Comeback

Beneath the boundless night sky, stars shimmer, while the tuberoses in a crystal vase fill the air with their heady fragrance. She was once a bitter, abandoned wife, an ugly woman with no looks to speak of. She never expected that, after one hardship after another, she would become a sought-after prize. She was once a lovelorn woman who'd hoped to pluck a flower, only to be hurt by love. She never expected that, after a series of chance encounters, she would become the center of everyone's attention, adored by all and destined for a passionate prince. She knew that a heart given to passion could be hurt by one without it. When love begins, it's a fateful bond; when it ends, it's a bitter grievance. Yet she never expected that, amid life's twists and turns, it would all be a silent trap??????? The Phoenix Hairpin The mausoleum's spring grows old, the colored glass tumbles down; the sea of clouds breaks my heart, and you alone are gone. The moon over Guandong shines, but our affection has grown thin. Tears and sorrow fill the air; by the willow pavilion, the parting feels cold. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! The old green robe remains; my hair is unkempt, my face gaunt. At night, alone by the bed, I embroider by lamplight. Autumn's cicadas fall silent; the parasol tree turns yellow. Our vows to last as long as the mountains and seas still stand, but how can the sky and sea bear this? Enough! Enough! Enough!
