As the daughter of a great mandarin, Mi Nuong leads a sheltered life. But one day, sitting in her tower, a song floats to her from a distant fishing boat on the river."My love is like a blossom in the breeze. My love is like a moonbeam on the waves."The voice is so beautiful, she knows the singer must be young and handsome perhaps even a mandarins son in disguise. Could it be that the song is for her? She longs to meet him, but how? And what will she find if she does?In this poignant legend, a young lady discovers that appearances can deceive, but the heart speaks true.
