Born at the wrong time.
There's a tongue-twister that's been passed down in the village: "The Zhu family gives birth to a ghost-fire girl, who burns her mother to death and brings her father to ruin. Her grandfather hangs himself from the locust tree out front, and the drought and water shortage are all her fault."
I was born with an extremely yin and evil constitution. My grandmother traded thirty years of her life for a dragon scale to suppress the evil energy in me. Then, when I turned eighteen, illness, marriage, and an encounter with a demon completely shattered my peaceful life.
A wronged ghost embroiderer who died in the outhouse; a Henggong fish child abused to death at Long Lake; a nine-tailed bride who died by suicide beneath a locust tree, full of resentment; the underworld general Houqing, who fell in battle; a lovesick Hundun in a dream-world brothel; the ancient princess Bashe, who was torn apart by five horses; and a merfolk who devours human hearts…
My origins are shrouded in mystery, and my love life is full of twists and turns.
If I was born at the wrong time, then watch me defy fate and rewrite my destiny.
