The innocent days of childhood sweethearts flew by in the blink of an eye. She still remembers that flutter of her heart when they were young, and the day they parted.
The tart taste of green plums, mixed with the sweetness of candy figures, still lingers on her tongue.
At last, she gets her wish and settles in the capital. Amid the crowds, she searches for him, the gentle boy she knew when they were young.
The marriage her parents arranged for her, his perilous military campaigns, and his pretentious cousin have become the greatest obstacles standing between them.
She looks forward to a blissful night by the glowing red candles.
"I vow,
with the love of childhood sweethearts, to pledge myself to you for a lifetime."
