Legend says... she couldn't bear the pain brought by the Qilin Blood, so she left behind a secret technique to wash it away.
Meng'er knew this sounded like self-deception, but every night after waking up startled from her bed and staring out of the window, these legends clawed at her Heart.
What if, what if it is true?
She spent a long time investigating and inquiring, preparing in secret, and finally one night, she decided to see for herself at the abandoned Mingyue Palace. She had considered many things and prepared extensively, but the one thing she didn't realize was that she was only fourteen years old.
For trespassing in a forbidden place, she was caught and sent to the Imperial Prison. She was so afraid that she lost control, crying and fainted from the pain. When she woke, the sky was again dark, and she was sent back to Qingsi Palace. There, she discovered her left leg was gone.
