1632
You and Man Sui made a nine-year pact.
Over the next nine years, you would join General Li Chuang in capturing Luoyang and killing Prince Fu.
Once you had done all that, you would return to the riverbank and give your life back to her.
1641
Nine years had passed.
News of General Li Chuang's great victory at Luoyang soon spread across the land.
Wearing the clothes she had carefully prepared, Man Sui came to the riverbank as promised.
But no matter how long she waited, she could not find you anywhere…
So Man Sui decided to settle in Yangzhou first.
She believed that as long as you were still alive,
you would come here sooner or later.
“Liang, you wouldn't lie to me, would you?”
At this point, less than four years remained
until Yangzhou would be massacred.
You opened your eyes, and the stench of corpses flooded your nostrils.
You struggled to your feet. An endless sea of bodies surrounded you.
Your head throbbed fiercely, and you seemed to have forgotten who you were.
But you faintly remembered
that someone was very important to you,
and that there was a promise you had to keep.
Then, one golden entry after another
exploded in your mind.
