Description
Qin Yingran, daughter of a schoolteacher, lived a quiet life with her gentle scholar husband.
He doted on her, and though their days were simple, she thought they’d remain peacefully ordinary.
But one day, a mob stormed their home, shouting they’d found the lair of the demon Xu Li Ling.
Hiding in fear, Yingran watched as they destroyed everything—even her chickens.
Then her husband returned and, with a single slash, decapitated them all.
The courtyard ran red, and he scoffed, “So annoying.”
