The problem is that when his name does come in at last, a few days shy of his twenty-first birthday, it’s incomprehensible. Jingyan forgets about dressing and stares at the gold marks on his chest, over his heart. He’s looking at it upside down, but that isn’t why he can’t read it. It just – it doesn’t make sense. Those aren’t even words; they’re just messy strokes folded on themselves into an ugly mess. This is his soulmate mark?
