“Fourth Master Gu is only forty percent outrageous. The other sixty percent is loyalty and courage.”
Lin Qingyu

There is a legend about the snowy mountains of Lin'an: any mortal who sincerely climbs to the summit to pray can ask for the person they hold dear to enjoy a safe and peaceful life.
That day, Lin Qingyu slipped away from the others and climbed the hundred-mile snow mountain alone, praying only for one person to find peace in life. As a result, she was left with a chronic condition that made her legs ache in cold weather.
Later, someone asked her, “The mountain is so treacherous. Why go to such lengths?”
She answered only, “He protects the people of this land. I only wish to protect him.”
Little did she know that he protected not only the land, but her as well.
