Hi,
I'm Rui (蕊).
This is my entry for the Open Novella Contest 2020.
Last year, I wrote Card Painter for ONC 2019. This year, I am writing an entirely different story in an entirely different genre in a style I've never done before.
For those of you who have been around since the "Monkey Boy" days, I am using a different aspect of the same mythology that I used for that story. If you are curious, look up Xuanwu and the heavenly creatures that correspond to the five elements in Chinese philosophy.
There will be occasional Chinese in this story. I will make sure that the meaning is either stated in the story, or written in a short glossary at the end of the chapter. Note that I will be sticking to Mandarin in this tale, as well as the occasional Cantonese.
❤ Rui
