Falling in Love with the Immortal in the Painting

The blue sea resounds with strings and flutes, a love between painting and calligraphy spanning two lifetimes, enough to shake the Three Realms!

On a thousand-year night by the blue sea, this qin and this song are for you alone.

Yu Shu and the immortal from the painting, a destined love spanning three thousand years.

A thousand years of waiting, a thousand years of longing, a love between painting and calligraphy spanning two lifetimes and three thousand years.

Cast without warning into the affairs of the mortal world, I have only gained three thousand strands of sorrow.

Beneath the moon, the Qingluan plays the flute; by the blue sea, fate is understood.

He asked, "In our next life, could you live not for all the people of the world, but just for me? Could you?"

She said, "On a thousand-year night by the blue sea, this qin and this song are for you alone. You and I are both selfish when it comes to love!"

He asked, "In our last life, I was the one who wronged you. So why, in this life, do you bear not the slightest grudge against me, and even rely on me so much?"

She said, "I just like sticking close to you, relying on you, and loving you. Isn't that what you've always wanted to see?"

Confused when we arrive, lost when we depart, we make a futile journey through this world. Better never to come or go, to know neither joy nor sorrow.

A thousand-year dream, a song of parting sorrow, echoing on and on. Who will mourn us?

Beautiful prose, vivid atmosphere, a fresh story, and a moving tale.
