The Memories Of Wan Rou.
A rumour says that a beautiful princess was bewitched by a mythical creature and fell in love with it. Other says that the creature was a dragon who could take human form, change the flow in the nature and cast rain even on a torrid day.
Actually, it seems that he was the immortal God sent on earth to cast rain during the rain festival. They coincidentally meet under the full moon and fall in love with each other at first sight.
Their romance lasted until he had to return to the celestial palace. The princess was repeatedly seen by people going down the river every night in the spring season. Once someone saw her silhouette together with a man.
When the rumours began to be uncontrollable, her father closed her inside her room and forced her to marry someone.
When she married that man, the princess was already pregnant with a child. She tried to hide the truth but she couldn't fool her new husband and parents. The child was soon brought to the world. During the birth, a heavy rain started to fall from the sky. It was a small girl. A very beautiful tiny girl with blue eyes and black hair.
She was giggling in front of her mother's eyes.
Suddenly, her furious husband takes the girl and throws her on the floor. She soon stops breathing. When he goes out of the room, the grieving mother takes the breathless girl in her arms and starts to pray to the heavens.
The princess was crying and begging for her lover to show up. He did not come but instead a woman appeated.
Mythical creature: Do you want me to save your child?
Princess: Yes, yes, save her! I am begging you!
Mythical creature: Everything comes with a price?
What can you give me in exchange for your daughter's life?
Princess: Anything you ask? Even my own life?
Mythical creature: I want your memories of him and the others! Once I take them, no one will remember their memories of this season.
Princess: You can have mine but why are you tormenting the innocents?
Mythical creature: Are these people's memories more important than your child's life? I am not asking too much, just some sequences. Are you willing to give them or not?
Princess: Fine. You can have them all!
Mythical creature: Then look closely at your child because after what I will be taking them, you won't remember that you have a child.
The princess gently hugs her baby and continuously cries.
Mystical creature: What's the baby's name?
Princess: Wan Rou!
Mythical creature: She's not an ordinary child! She has the blood of an immortal. I am going to take her and find her a safe place.
Princess: Wan Rou. My Wan Rou!
The mystical creature takes the memories of the princess and the people who has contact with her. After this, she completely forgets about her daughter, the rain God and the child disappears.
Their love lasted just a season and the fruit of their love got lost somewhere in the vastness.
Wan Rou was now somewhere far away.
