Nuo Wangchuan

She never made promises. Until she made one she would spend her whole life trying to keep. He was a liar who hid his true feelings behind lies. Every time he said, “I’ll come back,” he lost ten years of his life. She couldn’t remember anyone’s name, but fought desperately to remember the three characters in “Shen Zhinuo.” He was a sword that had killed its master and shattered himself, only to choose, in the end, to protect one person. He felt no pain and thought sacrifice would be easy. The first time he felt pain, he learned to fear death. Five people, five obsessions, one promise that could never be kept. At the Ford of Forgetfulness, some stayed behind and some moved on. She said, “I promise.” He said, “I’ll wait.”
