Secrets Beneath the Sound of the Tide

This story came from a dream. It began with an elegant gentleman fishing by the seaside. The truth is, from beginning to end, the gentleman never found out what his surname was, what he had done before, or why he had come to this remote place and stayed. But the dream went on. Then came Qiu Er, Changsheng, Qiu Er's husband, Shuhui, Qiu Ming, Zhao Qin... One by one, they appeared. The dream ended abruptly when Changsheng had learned to slip into the secret cabinet with ease, and daylight came.
