Tales of the Mirror #2 (Heiqing Langjun)

A celestial maiden is freed from her depraved master, who used her as a magical life-support vessel, only through the sacrifice of her loyal guardian bird, Qingluan. In their final moments, they forge a profound bond of love and humanity amidst mutual destruction, while the master descends into madness and his estate crumbles. Their tragedy fades into legend, immortalized in shifting grotto murals that hint at a lingering supernatural presence.
