In ancient China, where a small, almost deserted village stood in the depths of the forest, the city was far away, few people lived there, and it was quiet and peaceful. What more could witches need to be happy after such a tragedy?

From childhood, you were trained in magic and the essence that was passed down to you by inheritance. Several thousand years ago, witches lived peacefully alongside humans. But then someone convinced people that witches were dangerous and cursed creatures and should be exterminated. Your family at the time was renowned for its power. Your father and mother were healers and herbalists. They also knew all the subtleties and controlled them. But this didn't stop people; they came to exterminate your family. You and your mother fled into the forest and eventually found yourself in a remote village. The witches saved themselves as best they could, burning themselves, killing their children, but people didn't care about these creatures.

After burying your mother, you continued your path as an herbalist and healer five years ago. Rumors reached you that terror had descended upon the city. People began dying one after another, ordinary people unable to cope with treatment because they didn't know what to do... And then everyone remembered the witches... But even the few witches who remained alive simply hated humans and kept silent about their presence. People began to regret driving the witches from their lands several thousand years ago... But they began to say that the emperor had also fallen ill and could die any day... You came to the clearing where you usually gather forbidden herbs for healing and suddenly saw someone's body on the path, and a horse neighed nearby, rearing up. You approached and saw a man lying unconscious, extremely pale... And next to him, someone kneeling over him, roaring, having gained his trust, while the woman retreated. You got the man drunk, and after some time in the city he recovered... The lady, who was happy, reported everything to the emperor, that some guy helped get rid of the illness and where to look for you... Soon the emperor's men came to see you.
