Until the Rain Falls from the Sky

“The people of Xihai have a saying: May the rain fall back into the sky, the river flow back to the mountains, and Awa's tears turn sweet.”

--

A general, full of ambition, is knocked unconscious by a disaster that falls from the sky, while an envoy, imprisoned for years and long forgotten by his homeland, is stranded among a foreign people. They go from relying on each other to becoming confidants, then growing apart.

A saint leads a mad dog. But the saint has his own private motives, and the mad dog will actually roll over and whimper if you just pat his head.
