Legend of the Female General: The Phases of the Moon
I guess if water was the chief symbol in “The Prisoner of Beauty” then the moon is the recurring symbol in “Legend of the Female General.” It first appeared in Episode 1 when XJ rescued her from accidentally falling into the pond. He assumed that she was about to kill herself and admonished her not […]
