This story is mainly about events involving figures from ancient mythology. Since the mythology has many branches, the setting is partly fictional. The gods and demons may be altered or adapted, so there's no need to scrutinize the details.

[The main couple are not blood-related sisters and have no ethical relationship.]

[Reincarnation]

Blurb:

She was born the ninth child. Since they were little, that little one had always toddled after her, calling, "Ninth Sister, Ninth Sister."

Then she would gently gather her in her arms and ask, "Eleven, where's your Tenth Sister?"

"Tenth Sister went to play with Big Brother, and Twelve went out too!"

"Oh."

Then she'd pick up Eleven and take her to the Southern Heavenly Gate to watch the river of stars.

Eleven would laugh and lean into her arms. She'd kiss Eleven on the cheek.

After who knew how many years, things changed.

Eleven still ran after her, but often with tears in her voice, crying out Ninth Sister with all her heart.

"Eleven, you're the Chief God now, the Guardian of Xuanwu. You can't cry anymore."

"Ninth Sister..."

Eleven looked so pitiful as she cried.

Helpless, she picked her up again and gently comforted her.

"Eleven, you have to grow up. Ninth Sister can't carry you forever." She looked down at the person in her arms, only to find that the little one had already fallen asleep. Oh, so soon... Never mind... Ninth Sister will just keep holding you.

Eleven smacked her lips in her sleep.

She gazed at her, warmth rising in her heart.

It seemed that Eleven had grown up in the blink of an eye.

The mighty Chief God of Xuanwu no longer cried and called her Ninth Sister, chasing after her. This time, she can't escape Eleven's advances. She watches as Eleven pulls her into her arms.

"Where are you going, Sister?"

"I... I'm going back to the Azure Dragon Palace..."

"I won't allow it."

The girl who had once been so weak was now more imposing than her. Flustered and at a loss, she blurts out, "Don't do this. I'm your sister."

A trace of disappointment flickers in Eleven's eyes.

"With Heaven as father and Earth as mother, and no blood relation, how are we sisters?"
