Lamb of Misfortune

When disaster, illness, or evil spirits befall someone, a paper effigy made in their likeness can ward off calamity and misfortune.

Everyone knows a paper effigy must never be given eyes. Few, however, know that one with painted eyes is also called a “Lamb.”

My name is Li Buwei. I thought I would live out my days in peace, but everything changed when I was twelve. From then on, my life of sin began.

I walk the roads and witness every facet of the world, no longer able to tell who is human or whether I am still among the living.

This is the story of a puppet breaking free from its strings.
