As the last Fate Weaver, Ling Jin wants nothing more than to retire. She runs a little shop, snacks on sunflower seeds, and prays trouble will stay away.
When Zhang Qishan comes calling, she is counting her white hairs and wailing, “Help! That’s one fewer time I can use my powers!”
When Er Yuehong seeks a cure for his wife, she munches on sesame candy as she names her price. “Second Master, for saving her life, would you rather pay in cash or antiques?”
When the Erosion Mark bearers lay a deadly trap, she reclines in her chair and directs everyone with perfect calm. “Don’t rush. Let me finish this bag of chestnuts first...”
After waking from a twenty-one-year slumber, she discovers that the Erosion Mark bearers have infiltrated the entire Nine Gates. With no choice but to return to her old trade, she starts a new life of slacking off by day and saving people by night.
Everyone thinks she’s greedy and lazy, until she protects Wu Xie at the Bronze Gate, her white hair as snowy as the clouds, standing against the gods in a mortal’s body.
When cooking smoke rises over Yucun, she puts away her sharp edges and becomes “Sister Ling,” the neighbor who’s always dropping by for a meal.
Only the silver hair in the mirror silently tells of the steep price she once paid for this world.
A note from the author: Sorry for the OOC. I’ll try to keep the characters close to their original personalities, but the plot may require some deviations. I love the original characters, so give it a try. If you like it, keep reading; if not, feel free to leave. If you spot anything wrong, let me know and I’ll read it. If it really is wrong, I’ll fix it.
At first, the heroine is passive in her outlook. She just wants to survive. It isn’t until what happens in the mine later on that she understands that passivity only encourages the enemy’s ambitions. Only by taking the initiative can she solve the problem for good.
It's a really good read, the author's writing is excellent 💕💕
