I am Jing Ci, owner of the Returning Dust Shop in Floating Life Alley.
I was once the spirit of an ancient bone-reflecting mirror. A thousand years ago, I fell in love and shattered my mirror. Cracks now cover me, and I can only repair them with obsession, memories, cultivation, and pieces of my soul.
My shop does not accept money. It trades for wishes, always at an equal price. Once the agreed time comes, the bargain cannot be undone.
A demon of ink trades three hundred years of its soul to give a blind girl a dream of seeing the light; a begonia demon offers its life-core to ensure its beloved lives a peaceful life to old age; a sword spirit shatters its own consciousness to give a scholar a lifetime of peace... Humans, demons, ghosts, and gods are all fools for love, each wagering everything for just a moment of fulfillment.
My assistant Chang Ming is the God of Lanterns, who carved out his divine bones and descended to the mortal world for my sake. He has silently watched over me for a thousand years.
I once watched the world's love and hatred with cold indifference. Only when my memories returned and heavenly punishment descended did I understand that the most precious thing I had been clinging to was right beside me all along.
I shattered my mirror and scattered into dust, giving up everything in exchange for one mortal lifetime of freedom for him.
All obsessions eventually return to dust. One mirror and one lantern wait for just one person to come home.
I am Jing Ci.
At the end of Floating Life Alley, I watch over a place where all things return to dust.
I quietly wait for you to cross the dust and find me,
and I hope that in this life you have no unfinished business and never need to come.
😘😘
