Role in the Story

The Woman Atop the Inn

Having had her soul dislodged, she sits up top of the inn at Pangzhen, mindless and unable to recognise anyone, chanting Senior Brother Zhou repeatedly.

After Soul places Zhou Pingzi's letter in her hands, she recalls him. By her account she had intended to rescue him and take him away, yet she neither remembered nor located him. She now plans to go to him, as he is unable to fight and she will be his protector this time.

Quotes

Once the letter arrives
