Yuxuan, a disciple of the esteemed Vermilion Bird Sect, emerges from the tranquility of the Lake of Serenity, only to cross paths with Anran, a man haunted by a loss he cannot remember. As Anran’s fragmented memories linger like shadows at dawn, the serene forest holds whispers of a deeper, darker history that binds him to Yuxuan in ways neither can anticipate. As the duo navigates the complexities of trust, power, and the inevitable flow of fate, they must decide if their destinies are prewritten in the waters of time or if they can forge a new path together. Will the rivers of their past deliver them to salvation or drag them under to forgotten depths?
