Moonlit Serenade
Whispers of a Forbidden Passion in the Quiet of Night
In the sweltering summer of 1425, the Ming dynasty's splendor shone bright, with Emperor Yongle's mighty reign casting a long shadow over the land. Amidst the grandeur, Shanghai's old city whispered secrets in the moonlit alleys, as pearly ivy poured from crumbling walls, and wooden temples hummed softly into the night. In this stifling heat, where shadows danced and lamp oil flickered, two souls were about to find each other.Ren Jianxun, a young, ascetic scholar, with eyes like polished jade, would often escape the stifling heat of the city, retreating to the tranquil refuge of his family's modest tea shop.
