I only wanted to live forever in peace among the mountains and forests, but I accidentally saved Wei Yang and provoked Ying Qu Liang.
I gave them all my knowledge, asking only that they let me go. They had no idea how frightened and ordinary the soul they'd taken in really was.
Yet they insisted on pulling me along, step by step, through a hundred years.
Only when I looked back did I realize that the person who had wanted nothing but to run away had, without even knowing it, laid the deepest roots for this empire.
