宮殿 Gōngdiàn×The Palace

當蔡仁遇見皇帝的時候,他永遠不會有新的東西。 The autumn leaves littered the dirt road of Fu Shang, the sun setting over the mountains as a young man said farewell to his village and mu quin. This was his destiny, for when the winter of his eighteenth year arrived, his innocence would be taken away by the Emperor, a man with no remorse. "Come here," he commanded. "Take off your robes." My body shaking, I stammered back, "I-I don't understand." As I stepped back, trying to escape his grasp, I hit the wall behind me. I had nowhere to go. "Please," I begged, tears gathering in my eyes. He smiled and moved even closer. Why is this happening to me? I thought in despair. His hands reached out towards my robes, but everything went dark before he could touch me. Copyright © 2016. All rights reserved.
