She closed her eyes and opened them again, and Lin Yuan, a master of traditional kite-making, had transmigrated.
The good news was that she'd become the only daughter of a powerful court censor.
The bad news was that her family had just been nearly wiped out in a fire...
Having escaped death, she took on a new face and struggled to survive in a chaotic era where her secret identity could be exposed at any moment, costing her life.
Fortunately, there was always a way forward. She bound herself to a kite System that claimed it could provide materials and intelligence. With her golden finger, she kept her secret identity under wraps and focused on her career, living an exhilarating double life like a roller coaster.
In public, she was a beautiful, gentle kite girl. She could make stunt kites, musical kites, mechanical kites that moved, and lantern kites, effortlessly producing one design after another. She dominated the kite market, leaving all competitors in the dust.
In private, she became a deeply mysterious intelligence chief. From the power struggles among the imperial relatives and nobles at court to the everyday gossip of farmers, artisans, merchants, and shopkeepers in the streets and alleys, she knew everything there was to know.
And so, this saying spread through the town: Watch out, don't mess with the kite seller. They say that once a kite flies in the sky, she'll even know how many hairs were in the bun you ate yesterday.
