The Sunset River, an endless stretch of water, flows out from a tall mountain within the territory of the Heaven Tiger Empire.
It spans across five ranges and thirteen cities, beginning to meander near the vicinity of Heaven Illuminating City.
In many places, it curves like a U, with its clear, bottom-visible waters flowing languidly.
Heaven Illuminating City lies at the center of this U-shape, surrounded by water on three sides, with only one side serving as the main entrance.
By the time Xu Zimei arrived at Heaven Illuminating City, dusty and tired from his journey, it was almost afternoon.
The twilight stained the distant horizon, and a solitary bird spread its wings, soaring alone.
The residents of Heaven Illuminating City all knew that the name of the Sunset River was not chosen at random.
At sunset, the U-shaped waters would reflect the heavens, intertwining with the colors of the dusk sky.
