Why Not Sail Together / The Distant Return (何不同舟渡)
She was a thief, like a weed in a world of chaos, who would do anything to survive. She stole ten silver taels from a young man, unaware that he was the infamous traitor general, his hands stained with the blood of his own people. Her desperation to survive amused him, and he lit an incense stick, beginning a game of cat and mouse with his new toy. "I'll give you the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn to run. Don't let me catch you, or else—you'll be doomed forever."
She fled and found refuge in a noble family, changing her identity and marrying a man, thinking she could finally live a peaceful life. But when she looked up, she saw him smiling at her, a dangerous tenderness in his eyes as he called out, "Sister-in-law."
She had lost the game and became his servant. True to his word, he heartlessly threw her into the fires of a brutal world. Yet, she discovered that his harsh training had forged an armor around her, allowing her to stand tall in the chaos on her own two feet.
He was like a boat crossing a river, carrying her for a single stretch before disappearing back into the darkness. Who was he, really? The path he took was long and distant, and the road back was just as far. They were both lost souls—why not sail together?
