Looking Forward to Returning East

Her name is Lu Zhao. She grew up in the Ming Cult of the Western Regions. She has a longevity lock with the word "immortality" written on her body. When she was nineteen years old, she was ordered to enter Tongguan. At that time, she still believed that as long as she was useful enough, she could protect her fellow students and the people around her, and she could also gain a place where she would not be abandoned. But Tongguan will fall, Chang'an will fall, and the rain in Maweiyi will wash away the names of countless people. She delivered messages, led the way, and rescued people in the war, and she also saw with her own eyes: some people survived, not because they won, but because someone remembered their names for them. And she herself was a child who was brought back to the Western Regions. Many years ago, Li Muqiu, a disciple of Chunyang, and He Yi, a woman from the Western Regions, met in the sand and war. They once had a short home in the valley, and they also wanted to protect their daughter from the hands of the sect and the times. Until the decree was issued and war broke out in Daguangming Temple, there was no place in the Central Plains for them to go back to. Li Yu returned to the west with the young Lu Zhao, raised her, and buried all the unspeakable past events in the yellow sand. Many years later, she walked east along the old road her parents had taken. What she is looking for is no longer just her own life experience. What she wants to ask is—— Can an ordinary person not let his sect, family and history decide his life for him? The so-called return eastward, does it mean returning to your hometown, or finally heading to the place of your choice? This is a story about war, faith, family love and return. It is also a story about a girl who decides how to keep herself alive after remembering the dead.
