Mirror: Yin Chen's prequel...

The story continues in The Multiverse: After the Mirror Card Became Independent.

The protagonist has a destiny, the supporting characters have destinies, and even the bit players have destinies. But there's no reason to say their lives are fated to go a certain way. Bit players can rise to the top, supporting characters can change their fate, and even the protagonist needn't follow a predetermined path.

We make our own way in life. Even one unexpected turn can change a supposedly fixed destiny.

The ending isn't set in stone. It can change in an instant.

(I don't like the Ye Luoli Warriors.)

(The opposing side is criticized, so be warned.)

(There are many endings. Which one you get depends on whose perspective you take.)

(There are established characterizations. Don't expect pure wish fulfillment. The characters are grounded and realistic.)
