All her colleagues knew that auxiliary police officer Qin Su was sharp-tongued and fiercely principled. She used her words to defend justice and her sincerity to protect the vulnerable.
Though surrounded by criticism, she won the favor of a discerning mentor. Year after year, she lived in peace, and with every step, she shone brighter.
A computer game bound her to a real parallel world in ancient times.
In Falling Star Valley lived Qin Susu, a miserable widow who had spent half her life in lowly circumstances and suffered constant bullying, barely surviving with her two young children.
When Qin Su arrived, Qin Susu's suffering came to an end, and her life turned around.
A magical spring nourished the fields, keeping them green through every season. Even in the dead of winter, her storehouse overflowed with fresh vegetables.
Its enchanted water nourished the body and cleansed the meridians, transforming a haggard woman into a cool, beautiful one.
She raised fish and chickens, cornered the local market, and quietly built a fortune.
She stood up to every bit of rural nastiness on Qin Susu's behalf and drove out the treachery lurking among the neighbors.
She trained dogs to guard the home and secured the household. From then on, no one dared bully them.
Every ten levels brought a transformation; at level fifty, the two became one, sharing the same source of life.
When a venomous snake bit her wrist and her immunity to all poisons awakened, Qin Su finally saw through the fate that bound them.
This was never a gift from a game. It was two versions of herself, both shaped by hardship, crossing time and space to save and fulfill each other.
In one world, she made her way in the workplace and upheld justice.
In the other, she built a life through farming and protected their hard-won peace.
With no one to rely on in this life, both of her selves reached the peak.
Independent and proud, self-sufficient and secure, she made her own peaceful, prosperous world.
