The People of Duskshadow Ferry

Wherever the light reaches, the shadow stretches just as far.

I'll walk with you to the very end of the light, then follow the shadow back.

That means I've been stepping into your shadow since long, long ago...

Whether you remember or forget,

your shadow will always follow behind you.

The Nine Ancient Shadows were sealed deep in the mountains on the southwestern frontier. But the Third Shadow, Jie Shu, escaped and hid in the border desert between Dayan and the Crescent Moon Kingdom.

From then on, legends of the "Wind Wraith" began to spread in the region. The windblown sand he stirred up in the desert stretched endlessly beneath the yellow sky, and storms swept across the land, concealing countless schemes and massacres, all in the service of bringing the world of reflections into reality...

The Futian Institution was a state-run home for the elderly and poor. The Emperor of Dayan reopened one on the frontier, at Muying Ferry, taking in a total of twenty-four destitute outcasts.

The term "destitute outcasts" refers collectively to the elderly, the infirm, the disabled, and the poor. In the eyes of the world, they were no more than ants.

Three years ago, the notorious Sand Wolf Guards vanished under mysterious circumstances, and the people dearest to them died one after another...

The heroine Su Wanghe, servant Yan Yingfeng, and merchant Qian Laihuan all came to the Futian Institution at Muying Ferry for the sake of those they loved most.

Hatred, bloodshed, mysterious legends, and hidden attacks intertwined, all leading to the master of the mysterious fortress, the Gu family.

The fates of everyone became entwined with the deaths of the outcasts. As Su Wanghe and the others solved one case after another, they searched for the ultimate truth.

When his sword finally pointed at the "Wind Wraith," he smiled and told Su Wanghe that beneath the desert on the frontier lay another world of reflections...

"Do you want to see them again? Then make a pact with me..."
