Threads of Jades

Prologue

One gold , two feathers...
Three destinies bound
Dragon and phoenix side by side
What is behind the dark shadows?
Never let go of the our grasps
 The curtain of fate wheel has arisen...
 
Yuan Residence

"So you are telling me this silly dragon-shaped jade of mine has a pair... And whoever is holding it right now is going to be my wife?"
A young man was sipping his cup of tea,looking all annoyed. His carbon black eyes and long hair staring so deeply at his fair and beautiful mother.
"Silly?",his mother muttered softly."That is a proof of promise. An old inn owner saved your dad's life and we are indebted to him forever. It is only fair to give his daughter a marriage to you,my son"
"So the old man fell to the cliff an another old man saved him,then I have to marry his daughter? Great ,that makes so much sense!",he grunted while slowly leaning back onto his wooden chair.
"Feng Er, you are an adult now.Almost twenty ! Time to act like an adult, I shall hear no objections!",with that last statement ,she stood up gracefully and signalled the servants to escort her out.
Xie Feng could only chuckle in irony , his mother had never changed. Graceful yet powerful , no man could ever object to her. He stared at the dragon jade on his palm , which girl is so lucky to be the wife of an only son of a grand palace minister just because his dad saved that minister's life?

Guan Inn

"I DO NOT WANT TO!".
Vases shattered , it was a riot. Inn workers were all running back and forth cleaning up the mess , some trying to calm the lady and some calling for help.
A young man with his hair tied as a bun rushed into the room,"WHAT is the meaning of this?!".
There he saw a young woman, her hair and clothes in a mess, her room even more of a mess...It was...a chaos. Her pretty face stained with tears and her eyes full of anger.
"Brother!",she shouted,"What is the meaning of this?!"
The man confused , he averted his gaze to his mother who was sitting nearby ,looking all powerless. Her black long hair not even tied and she looked so exhausted,"I have given up trying to talk to Xiao Yue... You go talk to her".
".....Xiau Yu--"
"I do not want to marry so soon! I am only fifteen! And just because of a jade?!"
"Sister,listen to me... This arrangement has been made when you were a tiny lass of five. Our father saved Minister Yuan ,so he gracefully rewarded our family with this marriage"
"He could have given us land or gold!"
"...But his life worths more than that ,so he decided to give you his son and his granchildren"
"Grandchildren...UUURGHHH. I am not ready! This is so unfair!!!!"
Her mother slowly stood and held her hands,
"Your father's last wishes was to see you marry a fine man, dear..."
Yue grumbled. She knew that , she knew...She just wasn't ready...




Somewhere under the moonlight ,embraced by the thickness of bamboo forest...
A man with long golden hair and silver eyes chuckled
He played his flute with a mysterious melody,
"The time has come",he muttered...
