---- Five years ago, his clan moved to Sunfang Pack, and just before leaving, he had made me a solemn vow: "May, if you're still single in five years-if you're still willing-I'll be here. I'll claim you." Back then, I had been young. The future too distant, too uncertain. I'd meant to consider it seriously after a few years... but life had other plans. My clan fell into turmoil.
