The Immortal Venerable Returns 1: Keeping Our Ten-Year Promise

Xiao Jin and Wen Shuyao met in their first year of high school and fell for each other at first sight. They spent three whole years by each other's side, inseparable from morning to night. They studied for exams together, shared every meal, and went on outings after class. Their young love was passionate and sure. They made a secret promise to get into the same university and get engaged after graduation. Both sets of parents knew about them and got along well, wholeheartedly approving of the young couple.

The admission letters arrived as promised, with both their names listed at the same university. On the day they were due to register, they agreed to set off for campus together. Wen Shuyao packed her bags early and waited at their meeting place, but Xiao Jin never showed up. He didn't answer her calls, and her messages went unanswered. Without warning, Xiao Jin vanished completely.

No one knew where he had gone. He hadn't left a single word behind. Wen Shuyao waited, her hopeful anticipation turning to panic and despair. She searched everywhere she could think of, but there was never a trace of him.

She waited for ten long years. The girl she had once been grew up, but the longing buried deep in her heart never faded. She still didn't know what had happened to the boy who had promised to spend his life with her, or why he had cruelly broken every promise and disappeared from her world without a trace.
