This is a story from a bygone jianghu, a story from another time. The joys and sorrows that unfold in White Harbor are told mainly from the perspective of Dragonridge Manor.
Ten years ago today, we met in a browser game.
Back then, we were young, reckless, and innocent.
Then I thought I'd tell this story in the style of a pseudo-wuxia historical tale, and so "Years of Love and Wind" came to be.
For various personal reasons, compounded by a chronic case of procrastination, this story was abandoned for years... I only recently dug it up and started writing again. (I dug this hole myself, so I have to grit my teeth and fill it in TAT~~~)
So the writing style may not be consistent from beginning to end.
There are many characters, and the story is quite scattered, but I've done my best to straighten out the timeline. After all, when we played the game back then, there were several guilds with a hundred or two people each and all kinds of "grudges and grievances". Later, the servers merged and all sorts of things happened every day. It's... well, hard to describe.
The characters and events are based on real people and experiences. If anything doesn't quite fit, just remember that everything serves the story~
P.S.
This story doesn't have a protagonist in the traditional sense. For now, I'll put myself in as half the viewpoint character.
P.S. again
I recommend reading the afterword first. It has a little explanation of some of the story's background details.
I previously wrote a draft excerpt of this story, along with several bonus chapters.
I've put them in a separate volume and posted them here.
Of course, there will be some differences in the timeline and character personalities, so please don't mind them.
Theme:
I have to say that this protagonist has a really rich emotional life.
Why are we getting married? No, give up the trap.
So what do you want to talk about?
I want to see what it looks like when you are bald
