Where Can I Find the Clouds That Return in My Dreams?

"The descendants of the Gu family vow to guard our dynasty's lands for generations. Wherever the Gu family army guards the border, we will not yield an inch."

A century ago, the Gu family patriarch helped the founding emperor conquer the kingdom of Yan. The emperor offered to grant him a title and official post, but the patriarch refused them all. He left his children and nephews in the capital and went with his wife to guard Yan's lands.

For a hundred years, the Gu family has followed the same tradition: leaving its younger generation in the capital to reassure the emperor, while generation after generation stands watch on the frontier. Though wars have raged for a century, the borders have never given way. Instead, they have seized a great deal of enemy territory.
