Lou Yi has seen the filth and squalor of that remote, backward slum. She's seen the will to live die there.
So she repeatedly wrote in blood on the corner walls: Don't grow numb. Don't let yourself become like them. She thought she could escape it all.
Until flesh and blood blocked her way and the long bones around her turned to dust, she went to the other extreme.
She went mad. Completely mad.
The great fire that night burned without end, reducing every bit of filth and misery along its path to ashes.
-
At eighteen, she wanted to be nothing but a gust of wind, risking everything for a chance at freedom from south to north.
At twenty, her hatred was so heavy that she had enough of it only for herself.
At twenty-one, she gave up on herself completely. The moment the fire consumed those stark white bones and stinking flesh, the past flashed before her eyes like scenes in a play. In her final moments, she realized that in the end, the person she had let down most was herself.
-
Later, she lived another life and met her eighteen-year-old self.
The self she had let down most.
Looking at the version of herself who was on the verge of turning evil, Lou Yi got her back without mercy.

"Lou Xian, don't give up."
