"'Gentle as Water'? Are you sure?" Sister Tong was somewhat startled.
'Gentle as Water' is the most famous dance ever choreographed by Emperor Xia Liang for his empress.
Empress Bao had once performed it at Emperor Xia Liang's longevity feast, and it was recorded that all the court officials were stunned. The Prime Minister was even so mesmerized that he was entranced by Empress Bao's graceful dance and couldn't come back to his senses until a month later.
Filled with jealousy, Emperor Xia Liang immediately dismissed the Prime Minister.
He also ordered that Empress Bao was not allowed to perform 'Gentle as Water' in public and could only dance it for him.
As a result, 'Gentle as Water' was lost to the ages.
Numerous historical researchers painstakingly studied historical texts, eager to restore this legendary dance that was said to be too divine for the mortal world.
