123:, "It was the first day of the “Feast of Lanterns’’ in Old China. There was laughter and gaiety in the streets of Old Pekin, but the shadow of disgrace hung over the Palace of the Emperor like a cloud, for he had no Son. The Princess Ming Toy, his only child, was both romantic and unconventional, and heeded not the ancient customs of her country. She decided she would like to ride through the streets of Pekin in her palanquin and view the processions. She did so, and met romance in the guise of Ki Yong. They fell in love. Then war and base treachery plunged the city into chaos, but the Daughter of the Dragon arose, and triumphantly fulfilled her Destiny. But perhaps you would like to hear the full story, so let us slip back through the years, and imagine that we are in the streets of Old Pekin."
