On the day my lady and I fled, I went east while she went west.
Dressed in her clothes and carrying her token, I drew the pursuers away for her.
At death’s door, I was rescued. My lady’s betrothed mistook me for her.
Badly wounded and stripped of my memories, I was cherished by him and carefully nursed. He even married me.
Five years later, he brought back a battered woman. It was my lady. Convinced that I had deceived him, Qi Yu hated me to the bone and sent me to my death with a cup of poison.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day I lured the enemy away for her.
I returned her clothes and token, then smiled and told her: “Go east. And don’t look back.”
