The brave man is dead. But the fire of the uprising is still burning.
The elf magic has made Fulian live for thousands of years, and she has long been accustomed to the changes of dynasties and the cycle of rise and fall of human beings. She didn't believe that this short-lived species could change anything - until she met Simmel.
The blue-haired young man was one of the two commanders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and was called "brave" by his subordinates. He believed that "everywhere is uneven and no one is not warm" and believed that the uprising can make the poor stand upright. In 1857, after the civil strife in Tianjing, Simmel went westward with King Yi; in 1863, on the banks of the Dadu River, he fell into a torrent amidst the siege of arrows and demons, and no bones were left.
Sixty-eight years later, Fulian returned to this land with the questions left by Simmel. She wanted to use soul magic to see him again and ask him: Was the uprising worth it?
She met two young men: the timid Shutark, who just wanted to survive in troubled times; the devout Phalen, who dedicated his prayers and magic to protecting others. She took them back on the same path - meeting old friends again every step of the way, and each time they met, they discovered that Simmel was not dead, he had turned into countless names.
This is a fan work that spans nearly a hundred years and integrates the theme of "time and memory" in "The Burial of Fulian" with modern Chinese history. About sacrifice and inheritance, about weapons still held tightly in fear, about every brave man who was "buried" but never "dissipated".
