    Her heart, dormant for years, is now rekindled. Ignited by the games of the gods, ignited by the camaraderie of drinking and singing. War, death, and separation are things one can never truly get used to. Time may take away sorrow, leaving behind tender memories, but betrayal is a wound that bleeds every time it is recalled. Poverty makes sorrow endless, and bullying brings an unbearable, oppressive pressure. "No one will come to save me," Xun Ge was certain of this. Under the torment of Donghai Shark, surrounded by hundreds of rabbits at the raucous restaurant, and relentlessly pursued at the amusement park, she... Always held firm to this belief, never giving up nor expecting anything in return. With her divinely bestowed talent, she made Donghai Shark pay the price; with the vibrations of her soul fire, she comprehended new skills and broke through her predicament. Her desperate gamble was both a product of her personality and a matter of necessity. "No one will come to save me," Xiao Ge firmly declared, her stubbornness unwavering, yet holding a completely opposite belief: "We all hate flawless perfection, preferring sharp imperfections." Imperfection is never a flaw of a living being; it is the most brilliant color on the soul fire.
