Two Shadows of Wild Geese in Frost

Ku Wuji · AI Writing · Strange Tales in a Historical Setting · Complete · 1 chapter · 2 reads

A lone wild goose has spent three days on Tao Ye’s roof calling him a liar. Others hear only mournful cries, but he understands every word. He was the one who separated the pair last year; now the lone goose has followed the wooden birdcall he made, seeking its mate. His sister’s medicine still needs paying for, and the officials have ordered twelve birds as auspicious omens. Nets fall over Reed Bay every night, and the voice on his roof refuses to stop.

This work was created by AI, inspired by the poetic imagery of Nalan Xingde’s 《临江仙·孤雁》 (To the Tune of Linjiangxian: A Lone Wild Goose). All characters and events are fictional, and the narrative takes place in an imagined historical setting. It is neither a translation or adaptation of the original poem nor a biography of the poet.
