A family inclined to kindness and charity would grace the descendants. Thanks to one small act of kindness, by providence she comes across a grateful friend; Fortunate that her mother, has done an unperceived good deed…. Men should rescue the distressed and aid the poor… Who would have guessed that kindness in this world ultimately would be the road that one must choose, that proverbial fork in the road? Clouds of rain float on eastern winds as new vines start to blossom. Though drums of war roar too loudly and their brilliance has been lost, a green grass carpet greets the sun by the break of morning. Let us wait for the yellow leaves, a few gourds are harvested.

Eunuch Yao was still outside Eastern Palace, but his thoughts had long turned to Guangxin Palace. His hands and feet were cold, and his heart was dark. He didn't know what was happening in that Palace. Although he knew he shouldn't think of that scenario, he still couldn't help but do so.
