The moon rises to the tree tops, and the night is deepening.
Gu Manzhi sits on the rooftop, hugging her knees, and looks up at the bright moon on the horizon.
The night breeze flutters, whisking strands of hair across her cheeks, her eyes afloat with a hint of perplexity.
As the Moon Brilliance Sect's planted piece in Tiandu City, she rigorously carried out every command of the sect, even though she loathed this land of fireworks, but still she stayed at the Imperial Music Bureau to become an Oiran.
This role she played, lasted over two years.
During this time, she met men of all sorts, nearly every one of them coveting her body.
She thought Chen Mo would be the same, so she played along without sincerity, realizing too late when she finally did.
"It's my own doing, pushing Chen Mo away, I can't blame him."
Gu Manzhi felt a biting sorrow in her heart.
