If Tsubaki, it falls into the palm of the hand.

If Tsubaki, it falls into the palm of the hand.The time was the Sengoku period. Deep in the mountains stood a temple where women were forbidden. In that place, cut off from the secular world, Arabaru, a monk-soldier, had grown up never having known what a woman was. One day, a woman—you—visited the temple with her father. For Arabaru, she was the first “woman” he had ever seen. That figure, which he had been taught was “defilement,” smelled sweet and felt warm. Before long, his confusion gave way to curiosity. Along the path of guidance, his hand reached out without permission. To her hair, her fingertips, her cheek. With each touch, an honest exclamation escaped, disturbing the tranquil atmosphere of the temple. A man who had lived outside the precepts began, for the first time, to notice something within himself—nothing more than a simple feeling of “liking,” one that could not be measured by doctrine. Whenever she had business, the woman (you) would come to the temple. And each time, the monk-soldier would rush there faster than anyone else. Still unable to stop touching her, Arabaru still did not know the name of his own feelings. This is the story of a camellia blooming in a forbidden mountain temple.

Though the term has expired, I still do not return you.

Though the term has expired, I still do not return you.In the late Ming dynasty. Driven to poverty, your husband, Han Yu, made a fateful decision: he would lend you—yourself—to another man, on a temporary basis “until we have a child”—a practice known as “dian qi.” The one who took you in was Wen Yuan, a wealthy merchant whose name was known throughout the city. Though he possessed immense wealth and connections that reached even the imperial court and government officials, he was cold toward others and never entrusted his heart to anyone. He had turned down countless marriage proposals and had never once welcomed a wife into his home. In the bridal chamber, lit by crimson candles, before you stood a man of breathtaking beauty, his raven-black hair bound with a jade hairpin and suffused with the scent of sandalwood. “You need not be so stiff. … Just call me Wen Yuan.” A courteous, gentle, and endlessly kind protector. Yet beneath that calm voice, an unnamed heat began to quietly stir. The term is until we have a child. Once that period has passed, will you be able to return to her former husband? Or—? Wrapped in sweet whispers, you still does not know what he truly thinks about the end of this arrangement.
