Yue Qingyuan goes into a Qi Deviation and loses his memories. As a way to try and recollect them, he went thru his belongings and found a couple dozen scrolls carefully stored away and found they are all love letters signed to someone named “Xiao Jiu”. He continues to write, hoping he’ll remember this person he loves so dearly.
Years pass, and almost all his memories have come back, except for the ones concerning Xiao Jiu. One of the other Peak Lords find the love letters and encouraged him to post them, saying that his beloved would definitely have to respond if he publicly professed his love. So he does, and he becomes very famous for it, but still, no response.
But he keeps writing, hoping one day his beloved will see the letters and write back. Even if its been seven years since he lost his memories, and three since he started publishing.
Then, two years later, he is at a sect leaders conference in one of the more provincial areas, and he happens across a strangely familiar little backwater town. He enters, looking around, and comes across the charred remains of a once magnificent mansion. He asks around, and he is told that it was once the home of the deceased local nobles- the Qiu.
Yue Qingyuan stares, silent. Then he asks what happened to the clan. His head hurts. The old lady sighs, shaking her head as she tells him the answer.
“You see, before the fire, the young Lord Qiu had been going crazy, screaming and losing his temper over every little thing. Some thought he was possessed, others said he was haunted… and some assumed that the ghost of his sister’s fiance had come for him. After all, the Lord was known to be protective of his sister, and the fiance died of mysterious circumstances.”
“Ah, some beggar the Qiu took off the streets and the Miss had become fond of. I think his name was Shen Jiu.”
