To escape the chaos of war, they had no choice but to defy their ancestors' warnings and unlock the family's secret treasure, the Glazed Mirror, leading their entire clan into the mirror's realm, seeking a peaceful home in the vast world..."
Qin Yao lowered her head and asked the children, "Did your father make up this story himself?"
Si Niang scratched her hand, how to say... "Well, it's not entirely made up; some of it was told by Grandpa."
Her father just added a bit of his own understanding.
Qin Yao nodded, understanding that it was a magical adaptation based on true events.
The entire village, young and old, loved hearing such stories; half an hour went by unnoticed.
