The Song of the Yue People

A historical BL version of Border Town.

Shen Qiao has always dreamed of an unfinished wedding and a young man whose face he cannot make out, both buried beneath mountains of corpses and a sea of flames. Eight years later, a fine young man arrives on the canal. But he isn't his cinnabar mole, he's that man's twin brother, the fleeting glimpse of moonlight left behind.

The moonlight gives up his family's ancient feud for a single antidote. On a Mid-Autumn night, snow cascades like a mountain, and his hair turns white overnight. He dies a miserable death in a mass grave. Rescued and brought back to life, Shen Qiao loses all his memories and becomes a mute, living corpse, until a silver earring is brought before him. Then he throws himself into the raging Qiantang River like a moth to a flame, to fulfill a promise from his forgotten past.
