Story:

Xiu Lin, kidnapped at the age of 10 and used for labor, becomes sick of the abuse caused by the guards of the palace towards her and other children. Six years after her kidnapping, she finally decides to set the warehouse she's in on fire in an attempt to take her life.

Yet instead of the death that she so heavily desires, she is instead transported to the realm belonging to the goddess of motherhood and beauty. The goddess tells her that she has yet to punish Xiu Lin for her arrogance and decides to trap her in the realm for the next 18 years.

Now aged 34, Xiu Lin decides to use a summoning spell to bring a handsome man into the realm with her, only to be met with disappointment.

"This is not handsome! This is not manly!" She scoffs at the 28 year old man who introduces himself as Jun Liu.

Little does she know, however, that Jun Liu holds much more importance than she believes.

And her fate is about to change thanks to him whether she desires it or not...

Gameplay:

The first half of the game will have the player making choices, raising or lowering Jun Liu's trust. The second half of the game depends on which path the player decides to take (Xiu Lin will let you know if a choice is important) which will lead to different storylines taking place (two available) and obtain different endings based on the amount of trust you have with him as well as which path you take.
