Love—
A feeling that bonds two people, a force that transcends time and space. For the first time in her life, she felt this way, and the mist that had long shrouded her heart slowly dissipated. What she experienced was a blossoming sensation, one she wished to embrace. It was the feeling of looking at a man in a way she had never looked at anyone before.
As a child, she witnessed the deep bond between her father and mother—how they supported each other, how they remained true to themselves even among demonic cultivators. In a world where betrayal was commonplace and trust was a luxury, her parents stood apart. They were able to rely on each other.
However, once her father went missing, her mother became a different person. She lost her affectionate side and grew cold and indifferent, resembling most demonic cultivators. She didn't know what had happened to her father, but his disappearance deeply affected both her mother and her own life.
