My hometown is a well-known wealthy village.
Every household has tall buildings, with savings of at least tens of thousands.
No one would believe that decades ago, this place was a poor village with starving people everywhere.
Because it produces puppet dolls, or rather—
Spirit dolls.
Nourished daily by yin blood, a spirit doll takes eighteen years to form.
One day missed, it fails; one day extra, it suffers loss.
A perfect spirit doll can fetch a price close to a million.
However, on the day I came of age, the village's revered spirit doll came to life.
