[Not Mindless, Not Formulaic, Vivid Characters]
Su Qiao grew up under the protection of her parents, reaching the age of understanding. Her mother was misunderstood by the clan, constantly targeted and ostracized, leaving Su Qiao lonely and friendless as a child. But her father's selflessness kept the family desperately poor. Though he was a great hero, he still had to hunt beasts every month to cover their expenses.
One day, Su Qiao crossed paths with Lu Qi, but this was also the beginning of disaster.
"It seems my voice alone cannot bring peace to the world."
Duan Qin's words marked her farewell to the world. She had failed little Su, but this was the best outcome she could achieve.
When the world fell silent, Su Qiao had only Qingqing to depend on. But Kui Fou did not want to leave a hidden danger behind, and so began laying his plans.
Reality forced the girl to grow up and wear a mask to survive.
"Sister, you have to wait for me to come back."
Su Qiao could not wait. Kui Fou's plan was set in motion, and after Lu Qi left, he no longer had anything to worry about.
"Sister Qiao, I like white flowers..."
"Keep moving forward! Don't look back..."
When everything had finally settled, Su Qiao was left with no one by her side.
In the end, she made a bet with the Heavenly Dao.
A bet on her life.
