The entire novel is free.
On Chang'an's roads, trees stretch endlessly; only the drooping willows see travelers off.
Long, long afterward, in another land, whenever Moyang hears someone call her by that name, she remembers the faint smile of the person she once solemnly told it to, knowing it was an invented alias.
Who could have guessed that one willow branch, offered to bid farewell to a traveler, would last a thousand years?
(There are many original details, and some plot points and endings will be changed. For example, Focalors and Guizhong will survive.)
Theme: A brief parting is for the sake of a forever that lasts
