15: Planning for a Better Future
With a renewed sense of vigor from the mystical water, Li Mei decides it's time to begin her herbal remedy-making. She has a few herbs from the forest and a small batch from the mystical space, including some of the powerful jade leaf, which she plans to mix into her remedies for added potency.
As she begins grinding the herbs, she feels a calm determination. In this life, she might be starting with nothing, but she has knowledge, the mystical space, and now a source of healing. Her path may be challenging, but she feels a newfound resilience growing within her—a spark of hope and confidence in her future.
