♪ Depths of my despair

This voice...

This persona...

I feel like
I've experienced this before.

This scenery looks really
familiar and heartwarming.

Forgive my bad performance.

Who taught you to
sing and play the zither?

My mother taught me.

I meant, your humble servant's mother.

No wonder Xiao Yanzi
always insists on being casual.

The word maidservant
is indeed awkward.

There's no one else here.

Just answer me casually.

Skip the formalities.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Where's your mother now?

Why did she send you to work here?

Your Majesty,

my mother has passed away.

Who wrote the lyrics?

It was my mother.

Your mother is a talented lady.

But the lyrics are too sad.

She wrote it out of her
yearning for my father.

What happened to your father?

He...

He left my mother...

to pursue his future many years ago.

We didn't hear from him since.

I see.

Some parts of the lyrics
weren't clear to me.

What did it say?

I'll write it for you.

Right, you have good handwriting too!

Write it down for me now.

I'll get the paper.

What a pitiful girl you are.

Your father is a lucky man
to be missed by your mother.

What happened then? Did he return?

No.

My mother didn't live...

to see him return.

What a pity.

That's why the poem goes,

"When she sees the
green willows in Spring,

she regrets sending him
to pursue a Duke's rank."

Young couples never do
survive long distance.

If they hadn't parted so easily,

she wouldn't have had
to wait for him her whole life.

You're right, Your Majesty.

It was just that they had no choice
but to separate from each other.

As they didn't know that...

that would become
a lifetime of separation.

Before she died,
my mother said something...

that I could not forget.

But maybe Your Majesty're
not interested in this.

No, I'm interested.

Do tell.

My mother said that...

after a whole life of waiting, hating,

yearning and blaming,

she still thanked God...

for giving her someone...

to wait, hate, yearn for and blame.

Otherwise,

her life would be...

as dull as a dry well.

How deep her love was
for her to say such words.

I'm truly moved
by your mother's regretless love.

Your father had let a good woman down.

Father, don't you think
that she was too silly?

She doesn't deserve sympathy.

Her story makes me angry.

She even thanked God
after a lifetime of waiting!

Then, the pain she felt
served her right.

A woman's life is really
too pitiful and unpromising.

All she did was wait,
