When Shen Yi opened his eyes, gunfire was passing over his head.
She was supposed to die in the car accident, but she woke up in a world she had manipulated in front of the screen. There was no golden finger for rebirth, no system prompts, just smoke, ruins, and a man she could name.
He took her in. Teach her the rules of life and give her her first identity in this world. She thought she finally had a place to stay.
Then she lost him. Lost everyone.
She survived and was pushed deeper into the chess game. The King of Gray Crow looked at her, his smile not reaching his eyes: "There is still me."
She didn't know how much sincerity and calculation there was in this sentence. All she knew was that she picked up the gun and walked into the darkness she thought she would never step into.
Someone taught her to aim, someone taught her to kill, and someone blocked the wind for her where she couldn't see.
And in her heart hung a chain that no longer belonged to this world, waiting for a promise that would never be fulfilled.
Purpose: To explore the nature of love in extreme environments - is love sacrifice, possession, or letting go? How people define themselves through loss and growth, and the glimmers of humanity that cannot be destroyed by war.
