This is a collection of standalone stories with a touch of mystery and an overarching plot, though the main story may move a little slowly at first.
I don't wish him wealth and honor, only a life free of hardship. I don't want him to achieve great things, only to be happy every day. Like a little boat, drifting with the current and unafraid to row against it.
From the flames, I saw his cruel nature. The embers died out, but the blaze had already burned its way into my bones. What evil spirits could there be in this world? I have already made myself a feast for monsters.
Dressed in silks and adorned with pearls and jade, why should I take this misfortune upon myself...
The virtuous meet no good end, and the wicked suffer no consequences. I refuse to accept the laws of fate and reincarnation.
Theme: Even the smallest speck of dust can help sustain the land; even the faintest firefly can add light to the sun and moon.
