The lonely courtyard is about to welcome the late spring.

"Lonely Empty Court, Spring is Fading" Introduction

His fingers brushed over the green-topped markers. Each plaque, painted with a deep jade-green lacquer like a fine pool of emerald, bore names inscribed in black lacquer - titles of all the concubines from various palaces, neatly arranged in a large cinnabar-inlaid lacquer tray. Beside him, on a crimson-gold九龙(Knowledge Dragon) footed candle stand, a candle suddenly sparked and popped with a "snap", the flicker of firelight breaking unnaturally loud in the stillness of the palace.
