Gu Nian Looks Back at Fang Yingkan

Blurb: Memory is a curious thing. Without the emotions that go with it, it has no meaning. What if you lost both at the same time? Then you would no longer be yourself. No. No matter when or how, I am still me. Just as everything settles, a new storm is about to rise. If Fang Yingkan were no longer restrained by Wu Qing, and Gu Xichao no longer yearned for the kindness of being recognized or the bond between confidants, what would the inexplicable ties between them bring? The beginning and end of fate are, after all, much the same. "The Xiying Mirror and the Yinglong Pendant." "Are those two things important?" "Yes, they're important to us, but even more important to you!" -- Qi Shaoshang. "Is that so... I don't think it means anything." -- Jun Wangchen. "Is that your opinion too?" -- Wu Qing. "Of course. I thought Chief Constable Wu Qing would have understood by now. Why ask such an unnecessary question?" -- Fang Yingkan. "Gu Xichao! How can you face Wanqing after this?" -- Tie Shou. "There's no point asking that now. Gu Xichao died a long time ago." -- Luo Chen. "It's all in the past. This is the truth." -- Fang Yingkan. "Yes, it's all in the past." -- Jun Wangchen. "The world is nothing special, after all." -- Gu Xichao.

The people live in misery. To the north, the Liao and Jin watch like hawks, intent on ruling the world alone. Within the realm, the forces of the jianghu wait for their chance to rise. Heroes gather in the capital, intending to seize control of the court and turn the tides. Gradually, a three-way balance takes shape between Six and a Half Hall, the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower, and the Seven Saints Alliance of Bewildering Heaven. The forces of Lianyun Stronghold, Lei Family Manor, and City of Broken Promises hold sway in the northwest, further weakening imperial authority... And beyond mortal knowledge, the gods, ghosts, immortals, and demons are no longer at peace. War rages endlessly in the human realm, while the Heavenly Court begins its reforms. Yet the mightiest war god of the Three Realms vanishes without a trace at this very moment. The Chan School breaks its vow, the North Sea is sealed, and myriad demons emerge. The storm... rises once more. P.S. Most of the above has basically nothing to do with the main story. Theme:
