The Echoes of the Forgotten River

When city burnout drives Shu Yan back to her forgotten hometown, she seeks nothing more than a brief escape. But the quiet riverside village of Liuyang has other plans for her. Whispers from the river reach out to her in the mist, dredging up fragments of memories she cannot fully grasp—memories of rituals, lost friendships, and a pact that once bound her family to the river’s spirit. As Shu Yan digs deeper, she uncovers a buried truth: her family was once entrusted with the role of guardians to the ancient river spirit, Li Shui. But when they broke their sacred bond in exchange for fleeting prosperity, they left the village vulnerable, their betrayal poisoning the river and weakening its spirit. Now, the consequences of their choice are unfolding, and only Shu Yan can restore the broken pact. Guided by cryptic messages from Aowen, a wandering monk with his own mysterious ties to her past, and with the reluctant support of Grandmother Lin, the village’s healer and keeper of old secrets, Shu Yan must reclaim her forgotten role as the river’s protector. But to do so, she must confront her family’s betrayal and make a choice that could bind her to the river forever. The Echoes of the Forgotten River is a haunting tale of memory, redemption, and the enduring ties between humanity and nature. In her journey to uncover the truth, Shu Yan will not only rediscover herself but also decide the fate of a river—and a village—that has been waiting for her return.
