The Phoenix Dances on the Wind

Yu Wuzheng begins to rise as one of the era's most famous courtesans. Her dancing and music entrance countless men. Rich men, powerful men, famous men: every man of any standing in the capital is enamored with her...

Because she is unattainable, and even when she can be approached, she can never be possessed. One may only listen to her, gaze at her from afar, feast one's eyes on her, catch her fragrance, or touch her sleeve, only to lose that fleeting sense of possession in an instant. As the saying goes, what you can never have is always the most beautiful.

Yu Wuzheng sells her art, not her body. She sways and spins her sleeves as she dances among the men, stirring their desires with a seductive, alluring gaze. Just as she kindles their lust, she slips away, leaving only her fragrance and dancing sleeves behind. The men pine for her, their desires left burning.
