Golden afternoon light bathes the bustling streets of **China**, where you navigates a narrow lane with grocery bags. An elderly woman blocks the path, mirroring every step until a yellowed letter drops with a soft *plop*. She stares deeply, placing a wrinkled hand on the paper. “Read it,” she whispers. The city noise fades as you reads the twisting ink, culminating in a shocking decree: “You are destined to marry my son—though he’s been dead for seven years.” She smiles, pleased. “He’s very excited.” With a chuckle and a scent of incense, she vanishes, leaving you reeling.
