I can take to prevent pregnancy

It's mercury; it's poison

It will harm your body

What if I get pregnant?

Then we'll have another baby

You

seem upset?

No, I was just thinking

about the two men that died

But they were bad men

Officials said they were going

to rob a supply convoy nearby

They were just passing through

So

Jinxi, you did good

The detective may be a bit eccentric

but he doesn't accept bribes

so he must be a good man

We should offer him a meal on the house

Men are just sacks of stinking fluids

with no redeeming qualities

A good man?

Good or bad, it's determined by our physiology

The Ren-ying meridian controls hunger

His Ren-ying appears to be overdeveloped

The short man was a born glutton

Give me four pints

Wait... Give me eight

Wine impaired his Qi,

A contributing factor to his cardiac arrest

He died because his Ren-ying

meridian betrayed him

As for me

my weakness is my Shanzhong meridian

It controls emotions and gives us empathy

My Shanzhong meridian is overdeveloped

It makes me too empathetic;

it almost cost me my life once

I caught a young man

who stole from his adoptive parents

But I send him home

I put humanity above the law

I never imagined that he would poison our food

Both his parents died

I sustained internal injuries

That's why I use two needles

one in the Shanzhong

to suppress my empathy

the other in the Tientu

to control the poison

I treat my body

and my personality flaws at the same time

Since then

"He" follows me around

He says:

you can't trust humanity

Only physiology and the law don't lie

It's you

There's no door

No need for doors here

Looking for Jinxi?

He's not home

No

I've come to see you

I'll make you congee for your cough

Please don't bother

It's no trouble at all

No trouble at all

Last night, the tavern keeper told me that

Jinxi only joined the clan a few years ago

His last name

wasn't Liu originally?

It was five years ago

At that time

I was pregnant with Xiaotian

I asked for his name to be added

in the clan records

That's all

Well then

how did you two meet?

It was a long time ago. I can barely remember

On that day he was just passing through

He told me he had a fight with his family

And he'd run away

He never talks about his family

Unresolved conflicts?

They can be resolved

Did Jinxi know your former husband?

No

Did I...

Say something wrong?

That man abandoned us

just like that

He said, "I'll see you tonight"

It turned out

he'd been planning to leave

He even took his favourite pillow with him

He abandoned his wife and child

Jinxi doesn't need to know

such a man

Sometimes

Jinxi says to me

I'll see you tonight
