He first met her in a teahouse. At the time, a thin veil covered her face, her eyes were filled with sorrow, yet she generously showed him the way to a deep ravine.

They met again at Qiusaipo. Her veil fluttered, her fox-fur cloak rustled, and she stood tall amid the bitterly cold wind.

Before meeting her, he defended his country and served his sovereign.

After meeting her, he rebelled against his ruler and fought for dominion over the land.
