Quwu Mountain, an eastern extension of the Qilian Mountain Range, has long been a place of strategic contention for military forces.
Standing on the main peak, South Valley Peak, one can overlook the entirety of Guyuan City.
On this mountain summit lies a small, unmarked grave, in front of which stands a tombstone devoid of inscriptions.
Beneath the dazzling starlight, a woman dressed in black, her face veiled under a hat with a thin gauzy curtain, concealed her features.
She was holding a cloth, bending over to wipe the tombstone while murmuring softly, "Over all these years, I've never dared to return to Guyuan. It's not that I fear facing you, but that I dread what changes might await. So I hoped Guyuan would forget both you and me—that might've been for the best."
