An Old Friend Comes to Visit (Gu Jian Su Lan Fanfiction)

The battle at Penglai should have been his end. From then on, all the turmoil of the world faded away, and love and hatred alike could never be undone. Who could have foreseen that when he awoke again, he would be in an infant's body, in an unfamiliar place? He suddenly understood that everything he knew was gone. Even the dynasty and its emperor had crumbled to dust. A thousand years had passed in an instant, and everything had changed beyond recognition. So he abandoned his former identity, yet could not abandon all that came before. It was as if time and space were tearing him in two, leaving him in unbearable pain... Adrift with the tides of the world, he knew not how it would end. He had meant to exile himself, but then he met an old acquaintance... In Jinli, there is no reason for a letter to arrive. In late autumn in Chang'an, I wonder if you still think of home. An old friend comes here, yet still hesitates. Do not forget those old, earnest days; in old age, let grief and sorrow fade away. On a snowy night, in a little tower, I remember how it was back then.
