"Once there was a beauty, unforgettable at first glance (1)." 

Yan Zheyun dimpled at Hua Zhixuan's exaggerated recital of this renowned love poem titled 'Feng Courting Huang'. Fenghuang together also formed the characters for phoenix. The title of this poem was also a famous guqin piece, the very one he'd chosen to perform for Liu Yao at the Spring Festival family banquet months ago. That had been the first night Liu Yao had flipped his tablet and even now, Yan Zheyun could remember the way his heart hadn't known whether to soar or sink, racing with trepidation and excitement.
