[Angst, a disgraced wife, older man and younger wife, adorable child, and a groveling pursuit]
Uncle, I still long for you, but I don’t want to run to you anymore.
Li Si
*
Eighteen years ago, Li Si was Night City’s most sought-after socialite, a darling of the heavens and the unattainable goddess of its young men.
Eighteen years later, the Li family fell.
Li Si lost her family and went to prison.
When she got out, she was a bastard and a cripple, someone anyone could mock and curse.
She was pushed into a mud pit, without even the strength to pull herself back out.
“Ah Si, give me your hand.”
The man who had brought ruin upon the Li family pulled her out of the mud.
He gripped her slender waist and made her look.
At the ruins of the Li family.
At the graves of her parents, overgrown with weeds.
“Ah Si, look. That’s the hell I built for you.”
