[Male lead / Redemption / Multiple storylines]
The Neutral Zone, a gray area independent of the two great nations of the world, Huadu and Beihai.
The Raven solves the problems within its borders, but its leader, Lin Li, is far from popular.
“Demon!”
That was what people called her behind her back.
She was not human, no matter how you looked at her: the fox ears atop her head, or the lightning that flashed along her blade when she drew it.
She belonged to Huadu, and had come here as merchandise in a deal.
“I… think I’ve met you before.”
On the road to Huadu, Lin Li thought Lin Xiao was just trying to get close to her.
Until she was hugged by a man for the first time, cried in front of someone for the first time, and tasted something made especially for her for the first time…
“…Big brother.”
“A Li, you should be happy.”
No one had ever told her to take care of herself before. He seemed to truly care for Lin Li as if she were his little sister.
Something began to take root in her heart.
“Child, his feelings for you are more like those of family.”
“…Family?”
Alongside the memories of the Neutral Zone, she quietly made room in her heart for him.
“Dreams always come to an end.”
After Huadu was liberated in its entirety, Lin Li naively thought it was all over, never expecting how unpredictable life could be.
“Big brother, big sister… please don’t leave A Li all alone, okay?”
She cried out in her dreams countless times. Only in the end did she learn what was precious.
It was family.
But… where had they gone?
They had been slaughtered in the cruel war.
“A Li, that wondrous sight was nothing but a dying fantasy. I told you that long ago.”
“If anyone has to die, it can only be me.”
What she lacked was time.
