Reckless

Winter was almost over. They had agreed to go see the snow in Yangbei next winter.

So Jiang Jinwei bought a villa there.

This was probably the last snowfall of the winter. He looked forward to what was to come.

Yet before the snow had even melted, Yan Yuanshu left without a word.

Yan Yuanshu always believed that a soul-swapping spell was the reason he had become someone else.

The memories in his mind were precisely the ones Jiang Jinwei had lost. He remembered having a father who doted on him, a big courtyard and a spacious house to live in, and plenty of people fussing over him, preparing delicious food and keeping him company as they laughed and played.

He also had a prestigious identity: the young lord of Shangfu City.

He was Jiang Jinwei.

So Yan Yuanshu had taken over Jiang Jinwei's body. He had to find a way to switch back and reclaim his life.

That was why he stayed close to Jiang Jinwei, following and protecting his own body. He mustn't get too much blood on it, mustn't let it get hurt, and mustn't fall in love with anyone else.

But what was the truth? He was starting to regret finding out.

"What kind of person am I, and why do people like me and remember me? If this is who I am today, then who will I be tomorrow? Even the wind and water know where they're going, but I don't..."

"Why should I avenge parents who don't even exist in my memories? It feels like I'm just completing a task."

"Soon, I'll even forget who I am."

The east wind thaws the ice, hibernating insects begin to stir, and fish swim beneath the ice.

Yan Yuanshu: I don't think I'll ever be able to walk into this spring.

Jiang Jinwei: Stay right where you are. I'll come find you.
