In the 74th year after the Long Ying Seven Kingdoms split apart, the snow fell heavily, layer upon layer. Yan Dong lay on the ground, grievously wounded, his dark green blood staining half the snow red. A young artist traveling along the mountain road found him and took him home. She spent three years healing him and ridding his body of poison, but on the second day after he recovered, Yan Dong led her to the edge of a bottomless cliff and forced her to jump. He still remembered that it was snowing that day too. She stared blankly through him, her eyes vacant as she gazed at the silver-white snow covering the mountainside, lost in thought. At last, she looked at him once, said nothing, and obediently jumped. He reached out, but caught nothing. Trembling, he knelt at the cliff's edge for seven days and seven nights, then vanished without a trace.
