In the heart of ancient China, nestled between towering mountains and lush valleys, there existed a village known as Jingshui. This village was unlike any other, for it held a secret—a secret guarded by generations of its inhabitants. Jingshui was home to a remarkable tree, the Tree of Whispering Shadows, a tree that possessed mystical powers and was said to be the guardian of the village.
On a warm, tranquil evening, as the setting sun painted the sky in shades of orange and pink, a young woman named Linnea made her way through the meandering paths that led to Jingshui. She had heard stories of the village and its legendary tree, stories that had filled her heart with curiosity and wonder. Linnea was an adventurer at heart, and tales of the supernatural always beckoned her.
