Hard to Tame

Chao Huai Du stands at the pinnacle of power, accustomed to controlling everything, seemingly without a single weakness.
Only the twin ancient pagoda trees at Wangchen Temple know the secret he has buried deep in his heart for over a decade.

Eleven red silk wish ribbons flutter from the ancient trees, their inscriptions blurred by the wind:
The moon sinks behind the empty mountains; a delusion of brilliance.

It is the same birthday wish he has made every year without change.

— You are the obsession I can never silence, and the faith I hold supreme.
