The Folding Knot

Feng Jingman’s run of bad luck began when she painstakingly destroyed a strange flower.

The nightmare haunting the entire royal city was over, but this hopeless dreamweaver had caught the attention of the Soul Lord, who kept showing up at her door every few days. His reason: "Thanks for helping me move on."

She did one good deed. Surely she didn't need to be chased down by her reward quite so relentlessly. Yunzhou's darling, the precious darling among darlings, eagerly helped her fangirl get close to her favorite, and was genuinely sincere about it. But this "egg" was worlds away from being a good person: cold-faced, dark-hearted, and an absolute menace.

Everyone was gazing up at the sky. They laughed and marveled, offering the most beautiful words the world could give. Nobody noticed that at their feet, a vengeful spirit covered in filth was struggling to crawl through the crowd.

On a night like this, some unknown force guided her to the first ray of light she had seen since falling into Hell.

She didn't understand why such dazzling light could exist in the dark, just as she didn't understand why her own blue skies and bright days had collapsed into gloom as black as night.

She wanted to glimpse the source of that light, but the dense crowd might as well have been a mountain and an ocean between them. Just as she decided to give up, a melody unexpectedly reached her ears.

Yet she didn't know why she couldn't help crying. The coolness sliding down her cheek was like a delighted little snake, and when it fell onto the earth, it turned into one flawless, glistening pearl after another.

She didn't know why, either. Everyone else was rejoicing, while she alone, a vengeful spirit, was sad. That music made you want to cry so much.
