thunder bolts in a clear sky

she used to be somebody great, the one who heard praises sung in her name and a curse muttered under the same breath.

curses... they come true you know?

she was now a nobody in an unnamed era where martial arts and murim ruled the world, an ability she did not have. everyone she's ever loved is gone, maybe she should die off in a ditch and hope to win the next lottery of reincarnation.

even that plan had been postponed. turns out providence had other ideas.

which makes her wonder — what was she here for?
