The memory that jogged,
The weather that had been robbed,
The moments that had been jeopardized,
The kiss that was not meant to last.

THE YEAR 1904, a century away from the present time.
Mei and Qing Long knew that the past healers were not from their time. They had been delivered to them, served, and sacrificed their souls to intricate one's body, to embed the human flesh that was not their own.
Qing Long was knowledgeable about what deities do to the souls. For them, the past six Healers were useless. Their souls were born to be used for only one purpose. Althea was one of them.
They had been born, similar to why Goblin's brides exist, they were standing at this land only because they need to lift off the curse from the azure dragon, the former King of the Zhaochong Empire, Wang Qing Long.
