This world seems unfair from the moment we're born. Some are born among the clouds, while others are born in the mire. The scales of justice seem to exist only in fairy tales. But those trapped in the mud once refused to drown in the darkness, praying day after day. Sadly, even after their last flicker of hope went out, the light meant for them never came.
Jian Yi was born ill-fated. She brought about her parents' deaths and was disliked by everyone. 'Harbinger of misfortune' became her second name. She heard it so often that she got used to it, until she slowly forgot the name she'd had before. As a child, she prayed to the gods, but they never answered her. Then, after she grew up and lost hope in life, the gods she no longer needed appeared.
Does a belated light still count as light? The gods said nothing.
Reader's guide:
1v1, both leads' first relationship, mutual healing
The female lead isn't a saintly do-gooder, and is even a little cold-blooded
Theme: Don't lose heart about life or lose faith in the world. Look behind you; the light you prayed for is there.
