Coveting the Spring Mountains

The young master of the Zhou family, newly returned from studying abroad, is betrothed to a young noblewoman from Beiping. But it seems he doesn't care for his fiancée. On the first day after returning home, he refuses his parents' plan to arrange their engagement. Back then, he has no desire to marry her. Later, she follows him to school, and they spend every day together. Then, his heart begins to stir. Later still, he watches her prepare to marry another man, and fury consumes him. Only then does he realize he has long since fallen in love with her. But all he gets in return is her saying, "Sir, I think I want to give up on you." He tries to win her back. "Do you know? Beyond the flat fields, spring mountains rise, and you... are already among them."
