# Ferry Through the Ashen Mist
At eighteen, Gu Jingchu loses her adoptive parents and younger brother in a car accident during midsummer. To survive, she assumes Gu Jingxia's identity and enters the Gu family. After four years in hiding, she emerges as a coolheaded, sharp-witted forensic pathologist. But on her graduation day, she loses her beloved Ji Yanli, with only an unpresented ring engraved "J&G" left behind.
At the brink of despair, the VR game Reflux opens a path to survival. She falls into the virtual Great Jing dynasty, reunites with a boy who looks just like her younger brother, meets the loyal guard Shi Yuan, who vows to follow her to the death, and encounters the commander of the Imperial Dragon Guard, a man identical to Ji Yanli in both appearance and character.
From a solitary girl forced to assume another's identity to a crown princess holding the token of the covert guards of the Yanyuan Pavilion, Gu Jingchu traverses mist and ashes, protecting her virtual "family" and uncovering the blood feud in the real world. But she loses her young brother, Gu Jinghuai, and ultimately departs after being poisoned.
Shi Yuan follows her in death. Gu Jingwen becomes emperor but loses the one he loves, while Yang Zongheng remains alone with his memories. This is a journey of redemption and regret: making up for what was lost through cycles of life and death, and holding fast to one's true self amid a world of power struggles and chaos. At last, when the mist clears and the ashes settle, each person finds a shore of their own. Only the magnolias and maple leaves that fall year after year beside the tombstone on Qiong Mountain remain to bear witness to those years of love, hatred, and devotion.
The brocade characters are fragrant and the ink rhymes, and the whimsical and wonderful composition fills the throat. The opening of a chapter is like a painting that startles the eyes, and the unfolding of the scroll is like a wave of wandering guests worried. Love surrounds the clouds and smoke, leading to dreams, and the landscape hides mountains and seas in the heart. The good deeds are written on the desk, and the paper is famous throughout the country.
