Let's turn back the clock by half a day, to the night before Yue Jinghua and Fa Xiaoyi went boating on the lake.
Clashing goblets, rouge and fragrant dresses, various lewd tunes played amidst the mingling shadows of red lanterns and willow trees, igniting one's wildest fantasies.
As the saying goes, when warm and well-fed, thoughts turn to lust. With Shang Kingdom flush with wealth for years, its citizenry hoarding substantial riches, Polo City and its environs are home to many dens of vice and pleasure. Among these places, one is quite unique, filled with handsome young boys. In ancient times, such a place would be called the Dianlong Pavilion, and within Polo City lay one, hidden in Qingliu Lane.
A setting where youthful beauties indulge with patrons, inseparable through nights of spring passion beneath brocaded canopies—such is the best depiction of this alley.
Within the largest Dianlong Pavilion in Polo City, that night saw the arrival of two extravagant guests.
