Love Spurned and Mystical Undertones
Wealthy Lan is convinced that Tam is in love with her. It seems a good match between families, except it's Bao, the apprentice to Tam's family that is really in love with Lan. Angry and embarrassed that Tam doesn't love her, Lan says vicious and hurtful things to Bao. The writing style doesn't have that rhythmical flow that tends to distinguish really good stories but I do love the fairy tale type stories of love, journeys and redemption.
