It was an age of passionate hearts, when people sang and wandered;
Of upheaval, restraint, confusion, and wild abandon...
Amid drugs and sex, metaphysical speculation flourished.
It was a story at once real and unreal, by turns tragic and joyful;
Of contracts, vows, the netherworld, and the nine heavens...
Amid noble ideals, seeking immortality became a lifelong wish.
And they seemed to have nothing to do with any of it. For theirs was a forgotten melody among mountains and streams, an age-old feud that endured through the centuries...
A chance encounter could open a fragmentary tale, sweet or bitter, and become the key to unleashing a door to the absurd and unconventional...

A contract that should never have been made, with a history book as its binding.
Let us see who is more devoted,
and who is more coldhearted.
All this and more: please accept these pages of wild tales.
