A very, very long time ago, A Jiu had parents, too!
But it was so long ago that she even forgot her own name, along with all the love and hate she’d known.
She has no family, no friends, and no lover!
She has nothing left to cling to in this world, yet someone granted her immortality without even giving her the right to refuse!
As for why she’s called A Jiu, it’s because everyone saw how much she liked to drink and started calling her A Jiu, meaning “drinker.”
But the character for “drink” was simply too difficult for the mountain folk, who had little schooling, so it became “nine” instead!
A Jiu never liked cultivating immortality, and she couldn’t do it anyway, since she had no spiritual root!
Yet there were always people who wanted her to cultivate, forcing her to do so by any means necessary, regardless of the cost or whether she lived or died…
She wasn’t stupid. How could anything in this world be good or bad for no reason? If they were forcing her, they must be after something. Every time, she thought she’d seen through them, yet in the end, they still let her live!
That was how she died and came back to life, again and again. She no longer remembered how many times it had happened, until she met Cangming…
