The younger sister suffers under a curse; the elder sister shoulders the burden alone.Here the elegy of the evening moon begins to play. That night, the younger sister's curse flared again. The elder sister broke down the door, only to discover that ten years of desperate searching had all been in vain.In the hospital, a friend brought a glimmer of hope.A gamble with life itself began their journey to another world. Thin mist gradually thickens, veiling the moonlight; summer cicadas whisper, brushing the wind chime.How many times did the two once lean upon each other? A flying bird with broken wings cried mournfully in the night.Under the night's starry splendor, a vow was sworn by stars and moon: never to part, in life or death ever entwined.In later volumes, some are named, some remain unnamed; every soul is a figure within the scroll. Translated from the original Chinese with AI assistance. Thoroughly proofread and edited by the author.
