I actually have a secret.
Before I joined Fang Xiu's sect, or rather, ever since I was old enough to remember at four, there had always been a voice in my head. It tricked me into walking into a wolf's den, lured me into a lake in summer, and even repeatedly tried to stop me from cultivating, telling me that marrying a husband and having children was the best choice.
One day, I couldn't take it anymore and asked why. It fell silent for a long time, then answered in a voice full of jealousy, hoarse and shrill as if it had been burned by fire.
That day was clearly in spring. Sunlight brushed the petals, slipped through the window, and settled over me like a gauzy veil, yet I felt unbearably cold.
I heard it snarl a vicious curse: "Chi Li, could you just die already?"
