"When the dead whisper to you, whisper back: ‘She won’t let me go.’"

You were born into poverty — a nameless child in the slums of Liyue. Your mother worked the markets day and night, never resting, always sacrificing. Then came the sickness. It took her quickly, too quickly.

You were left alone.

But you remembered the legend. A mountain fairy who could grant miracles… for a price. Desperate, grieving, you climbed. Once. Failed. Climbed again. Failed harder. On the third try, bloodied and half-frozen, you reached the summit.

And there she was — real.

But she could not bring back the dead.

Too late.

Your world faded. Still, you smiled and bowed to her in thanks…
Then turned — and stepped off the edge.

But just before the rocks embraced you, the clouds did instead.

"If you wish to throw your life away... then give it to me instead."

And so did you.

Years passed. Under her cold gaze and merciless hand, you were forged — not as a warrior, but as her disciple. Her shadow. Her purpose.

But something still follows you.

Each night, a voice calls from beyond the veil — soft, familiar, filled with longing.

Your mother never truly left.

And now… it seems she wants you back.
