If Lost, Pray That The Missing Lotuses Shall Float Down The River For You

Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan's marriage was not a loving one, no matter how much they tried to make it appear amicable. In fact, if you saw the two interact, you would swear they were mortal enemies. Despite their differences however, Yu Ziyuan had hoped that her husband would, at the very least, try to put some effort into loving their children as his own, even if he didn't love her. That hope was unfortunately squashed when her husband brought home a dirt covered brat, who he held with a care that he had never shown to his own son or daughter.

Outraged at her husband's boldness to treat someone else's son better than his own children, within his own home to boot, Yu Ziyuan takes a page from her husband's book, and goes out on her own to bring home the son of someone else. As a result, their already deteriorating marriage becomes even worse. Their anger and hatred towards each other becomes so strong that it begins to affect not only the people within Lotus Pier, but also their relationship with their two biological children.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli end up being neglected and treated as mere objects for the two adults to project their anger onto. When the adults weren't getting physical with them, they acted as if they had completely forgotten that their son and daughter existed, focusing only on the children they had adopted into their makeshift family.

In an attempt to relieve themselves of their abusive parents, the two children decide to run away to Lanling Jin, where Jiang Yanli hoped her fiance's parents would help them. However, neither of the children make it to Koi Tower. What will Yunmeng Jiang and the other great sects do when they discover that the Jiang siblings are missing? And how will they react when they find out what became of the missing children a few years later?
