Shangguan Xiang was only a girl of seven the day she was taken away.

“Please,” She cried as she kneeled before the woman, “I’ll be good, I swear it! I’ll never utter another word-”

She let out a shout when she felt arms grabbing her, pulling her away, “Mother, please!”

“Take her away,” Her mother’s voice was cold and harsh. It only made Xiang cry harder.

“Gege! Jiejie! Please!”
