In Sìshuǐ, mist sleeps upon the bridges, and willow leaves travel farther than men. Beneath the rain walks Liánnèi Biaoxu-Lanaris, daughter of the Biaoxu family beneath House Lanaris, slight as a reed beside deep water. One eye holds the color of river-stone, the other the color of spring jade. A white owl crosses above her. Those who see her once remember beauty. Those who see her twice remember the silence before thunder.
Old favors follow like boats without oars. Promises sink, yet do not disappear. She gathers what others cast into the current: a name, a debt, a grief not yet answered. The Sìshuǐ carries ten thousand things toward the sea, but she has never learned to let all of them go.
