The year Ye Li first returned to the capital, he saw Xu Baoyue. The wind lifted the curtain of her sedan, and although he caught only a fleeting glimpse, he remembered those clear, bright eyes vividly.
Later, thousands of miles away in Jiangnan, with the clouds and waters of ten isles between them, Ye Li lay sleepless at night, his heart and soul in torment. He walked out of his tent with a saber and gazed up at the snow filling the sky. Though he was at the end of his road, he laughed through red-rimmed eyes.
