A Sweet and Delicate Beauty

In the Kunqu opera world, Meng Ying's beautiful voice and delicate looks have made countless people covet her. Her fiancé is almost obsessively enamored with her.

"Yingying, a beauty like you belongs locked away in an exquisite cage."

With a man pursuing her relentlessly and the Meng family plotting against her at every turn, Meng Ying is trapped in a dilemma.

Until Huo Ze, the powerful and influential Buddhist devotee of the capital's elite circle, stops in front of her stage. "Miss Meng, you sing beautifully."

Then came countless days and nights.

No one knew how this aloof, celibate, high-and-mighty Third Master Huo behaved with her behind closed doors, making love to her with abandon and entwining with her on the bed.

Nor did anyone know that she had approached him with a head full of schemes and ulterior motives, only to nearly lose herself in his boundless devotion.

When his white moonlight returned, Meng Ying finally came to her senses and pulled away, smiling as she tossed him aside. "Third Master, aren't you tired of keeping up this act after all this time?"

She left decisively, without looking back.

Later, the man, nearly driven mad, pinned her against the opera stage and coaxed her softly: "Yingying, sing one more song for me."
