I was born clutching a sharp blade, beneath a sky marked by strange omens. For eighteen years, I kept snakes, inviting disaster, until Bai Li awoke and my family was struck by catastrophe. I was forced to flee, and Bai Li stood by me through every danger, never leaving my side day or night.
We spent our days wrapped up in each other, and a snake fetus formed in my womb. Just as I thought we could be a devoted couple and stay together for the rest of our lives, he asked me to abort the child while I was still pregnant.
Only then did I learn the truth: he never loved me. I was nothing but a sacrifice to him.
