"Ling'er was a lively and cheerful girl when she was little, very likable, with many playmates in the clan. She was beautiful, and many young men admired her. But aside from cultivation, she had no other thoughts. The Xia Clan rarely married outside the clan, so... probably for this reason, offspring dwindled, with many congenital disabilities, as well as early deaths. Cultivation can prolong life, but it can't cure certain untreatable illnesses."
