The sun sets behind the West Mountain, the moon shines with sparse stars.
That evening.
Inside the main room of Tangli Garden in the Ye Mansion, bright candlelight glowed.
At the corners of the room stood white jade pillars, and the walls all around were carved from white stone bricks. A painting of "Plum Blossom Mark" hung squarely, with branches blooming alone in the cold with a unique charm. A bronze mirror was placed on the dressing table, and sparse moonlight shot through the hollowed-out decorative window frames, covered by the candlelight inside the room.
On the purple sandalwood water-drop carved canopy bed lay a man with a long scar of varying depth on his face, his expression gloomy, head bowed, obscuring his emotions.
Closest to him was a graceful beauty, her face bright as snow, rendered even gentler under the candlelight!
Across from them, four yellow rosewood openwork carved phoenix pattern stools were occupied by four young children.
