Seventy years ago, Long Tianxing entered the Lonely Sea with six companions.
In the end, he was the only one who made it back to shore alive.
Seventy years later, a white crow that had been dead for three days pecked open the palace gate and delivered a letter from Qing He, an old friend who had vanished:
"Return to the Lonely Sea. Come find me. Don't bring Wuzi."
At this point, Long Tianxing has only three months left to live.
He sets sail for the Lonely Sea once more, accompanied by a girl who can see into people's hearts, a swordsman searching for the truth behind his wife's death, and a singer who has forgotten why he sings.
Here, happiness can build ships, names can be bought and sold, the dead can return in someone else's body, and memories are the lamp oil that lights the way.
But they soon discover that although there are only four people aboard the blackwood ship, there are always five sets of bowls and chopsticks.
And on the record of deaths that No-Name Harbor has kept for seventy years, the words are clear as day:
Long Tianxing, died seventy years ago. Identity confirmed.
If Long Tianxing died long ago, then who was the person who stayed by Wuzi's side as they grew up over these past seventy years?
This sea never kills you outright.
It only takes your happiness first, then your name, and finally makes you forget...
why you still want to live.
