When Yun You was fifteen, her parents died one after the other. She kept the Jiangcheng pharmacy running and lived alone for three years, dispensing medicine and treating patients by day, and tossing and turning as she investigated the clues her father had left behind at night.
The poison that had afflicted her father before his death was called Returning Day. It had no antidote.
Then a black-clad man named Yuan Mowen pushed open her door and asked for medical help. The jade token against her chest suddenly grew hot. Only then did she learn that her father’s death, her mother’s sorrowful demise, and the old massacre case from twenty years ago were all connected to the same thing.
He had been investigating for seven years. She had been investigating for three.
Together, their two jade tokens formed the character “Ask.”
Gui Mowen. Don’t ask when I’ll return.
From then on, she followed him across the martial world, braving deadly traps and investigating old cases. He took blades for her, and she stitched up his wounds. Neither of them ever let go as they traveled together.
Until the day he collapsed, covered in blood, in her arms. “Though we part, you mustn’t ask when I’ll return. There’s so much I cannot say.”
She cremated him and divided his ashes into five portions, carrying them close to her heart. Then she traveled the length and breadth of the land alone, scattering a portion in every city, every step accompanied by a thought of him. She defied fate to gather his soul and searched every land for his bones, guiding him from silence to whispers, from a remnant soul to a solid form.
When she finally returned to Jiangcheng to face her enemies, she was no longer alone. Someone stood behind her.
There are several updates so far that look pretty good and give people a good impression.
