Grannie Yin had once been the most beloved young woman in the nearby villages.
Her skilled hands worked magic with needle and thread, turning rags to riches, scraps to treasures in mere moments.
But then the bandits stormed the city. Homes fell, lives were lost, and with no one left to tailor for, her talents seemed wasted.
Yet she refused to yield, determined to find purpose. And she did.
The living crave dignity. The dead deserve wholeness.
And those same hands, once skilled with silk, now stitched severed limbs back together, reconstructing faces until they looked almost alive.
When the wars ended, wounds were buried, but her hatred festered.
She became the jianghu's most feared seamstress.
First, the bandits who had fled justice. Then the opportunists who had thrived in chaos. Finally, anyone who harmed the innocent became fabric for her needle.
She'd tear them apart, stitch them back together, remaking their bodies and hoping to mend their rotten souls.
But Xue Chou stopped her. No amount of stitching can turn evil to good, or revive the past. He feared she'd lose herself in vengeance.
So Grannie Yin became a seamstress once more, this time in a shop in the Ghostlight Market.
Her hair had gone white. Her legendary hands now trembled.
Yet with needle in hand, she still works wonders, breathing new life into decay, transforming dross to delight.
