I live in a remote mountain village that people call “Old Mountain.”
Legend has it that a battle was fought here in ancient times, claiming hundreds of thousands of lives!
Every year, when the Gates of Hell swing wide on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, countless souls rush to be reborn!
But some souls defy the natural order, maliciously seizing people’s bodies.
Unfortunately, I’m one of the people whose body was stolen!
From the moment I was born, there were two souls inside me.
That made me an outcast in everyone’s eyes!
I’m a girl, and yet I was born with a black dragon-shaped birthmark on my back!
From that moment on, my life was cruelly rewritten. None of it was coincidence. Someone had planned it all!
I became a pawn for others to use. Fortunately, though, there was an old woman in the village called Granny Hua who treated me well. She taught me a few simple little spells to amuse me, and before long, I grew more and more interested in magic. In the end, I mastered an entire repertoire of spells.
But I never imagined that as my magic grew stronger, I would discover that my birth was no simple matter. It was part of a far greater conspiracy...
