She was an orphan dogged by misfortune, born with a pair of mist-colored, unusual eyes and branded a bringer of disaster.
Anyone who got close to her met with calamity.
She lost her family at six and had no one to rely on. With no household registration, she wandered hungry, and at seventeen she was still surviving by collecting scrap.
She hid her face and huddled in a dilapidated shack, living on the margins of the world and hoping only to make it through each day in peace.
Then one day, fleeing in a panic, she stumbled into someone else's world.
A single pair of their shoes cost more than she could ever afford to repay in a lifetime.
She thought she would be scolded and driven away, but all she heard was a gentle voice saying:
“Then you'll spend your whole life paying me back.”
Wen Niang was the only light in her dark life, the one who dared to ignore every curse and insisted on protecting her.
The world despised her as a bringer of misfortune, but Wen Niang alone bent down and promised softly:
“Don't be afraid. From now on, you have me.”
From then on, the pitiful girl no one wanted became the one and only treasure in her heart.
