Qian Xu Fan Song – The Winds Comes From Afar
Volume I
[Lost Memories]
Searching for a steadfast love in a world where your genes decide your fate.
Nothing can escape the clutches of time. Death and deterioration are but an eventuality. Only memory is not bound by the shackles of time. In fact, some memories become clearer steeped in time. The beautiful, the ugly, all the has-been. Each event is seemingly small and insignificant but their flashes of brilliance can even out-dazzle the night’s sky.
Volume II
[Stealing Dream]
If we cannot grow old together, then let death consume us both.
An existence that should be denied, he thought he would be alone forever for a soul born in darkness was destined to be swallowed up by darkness. Happiness can only be a mirage. Yet he cannot control his feelings that are overflowing because he has found someone willing to stand with him against all odds.
Volume III
[Butterfly]
Because their paths had crossed, because she had loved him so passionately, he may have his regrets but he’d die contented.
One existence was built on another person’s genetic makeup. The other lived a fabricated lie. Just like a whisper in the wind, they had no past and no future. They only have the present. They only have each other.
Volume IV
[Brilliance]
It is the dawning of new hope, yet also the descent of despair. We are hurtling towards our end, be it Heaven or Hell that await us.
Will your pursuit only end with the withering of the final rose? Will you discover that you’ve missed all of its radiant beauty only when it is gone? Will you only stop grumbling about the cold when the last snowflake has fallen? Will you regret failing to appreciate the here and now

Volume 1 – Lost Memories
In the distant future world where genes determine life and death, searching for love that lasts until death——
Earth’s environment has reached the point of deterioration and its energy is already exhausted, mankind has to go to Interstellar to survive. At the moment of life and death, the door to genetic research was completely opened. In order to obtain a stronger physique, greater strength, and more survival opportunities, humans have modified their genes.
With the passage of time, various modified genes blended with each other, and the problems hidden in the genes gradually emerged. Mankind then discovered that genetic modification not only increased the chance of survival, but it also brought some devastating problems. Those people who have gained extraordinary powers by fusing genes of other species are called “human beings with heterogeneous genes” and rejected from normal human society. Especially those groups whose physical appearance is different from humans. They are called “mutant” contemptuously. When a woman with pure genes but no memory meets a man with a heterogeneous gene, how far can their love go?

Footnotes
Original line is 依旧固执倔强 – yī jiù gùzhí, juéqiáng; lit. still stubborn and stubborn. 固执 and 倔强 both mean “stubbornness” but 固执 is for reluctant to admit defeat and 倔强 is sticking to one’s own point of view. In this context, it was about Luo Lan who stuck to her own belief and refused to accept that she had lost to fate. But she had lose and she was left with nothing.↵
绝地复仇 – juédì fùchóu; I don’t think I gave the English title for Chapter 19 justice. 绝地 could mean a lot of thing. 绝地 could mean futile, hopeless, dangerous, desperate, or with no way out. So there are many meaning to the title, a futile revenge, a hopeless revenge. Revenge, just because there is no other way except for it. I choose “Revenge of the Hopeless One” because of its content. I’m open to suggestion, though.↵
