Among the many tales scattered across Kaifeng, All Beauty Fades Wandering Tale stands out as a quiet, reflective story about craftsmanship, memory, and closure. After completing the Jinming Pool Campaign, you’ll encounter Tang Ji’an, an elder boatman muttering to himself outside the watergate, burdened by a past explosion he never understood. By retrieving a long-lost explosive blueprint, you’ll help him finally make peace with his craft and access the treasure he guards.
