A bright spring day finds a handsome young scholar wandering the bustling streets of the capital, seeking a quiet spot away from the crowd. Orphaned and living alone, he carries both a sharp mind and a yearning for companionship. Joined by his cousin, the pair set off for the remote hills, hoping the cool mountain air will offer a brief respite from their busy lives.
Their search leads them to a secluded temple perched on a mist‑clad slope, where a striking nun presides over a modest sanctuary. The encounter is charged with playful banter and an unexpected spark, as the nun hints at the possibility of guiding the scholar toward a future partnership. Amid fragrant blossoms and the gentle murmur of a distant stream, the two navigate a delicate dance of curiosity and propriety, leaving listeners eager to hear how their tentative connection unfolds.
