Through the vast ages of the primordial world, the Li people have endured for millennia. The ritual of severing an arm is as humiliating as being eaten alive, and misfortune is inescapable.
Ten fingers transform into the Five Ancient Beasts. The pool at their fingertips nurtures all living things, while the cosmos remains unfathomable.
Yet behind it all lies a bond forged at creation, where love and hatred are intertwined.
If one of us must die for this love, then it must be you.
I am willing to bear the sorrow of all eternity in your place.
