On the way to the Guan Mansion, Wufu listened to Jadeite talking about the opera "The Tale of Gentleman Over the Wall" that had been inquired about, wondering what kind of story it actually was.
This opera was said to have been personally written by someone called Lian Chuner, telling the story of two lovers meeting on a spring day on a wall where peach blossoms were planted. As the petals fluttered, the two were instantly smitten, becoming inseparable and in love ever since. Then the man was to marry, but the bride was not the one he loved; the lover's heart was torn apart, and in the end, they died from heartbreak and melancholy, leaving the man in sorrow...
In short, it is a so-called love story full of entanglement and sorrow, winning the tears of many ladies in their chambers, blaming the man's family for beating the mandarin ducks apart and the bride's family for stealing the beloved, having the person but not the heart, and so on.
"What a mess!" Wufu's face darkened.
