After stepping into a giant footprint out in the wilderness… I got pregnant.
It was such an outrageous thing that, naturally, my mother refused to believe it.
She slapped me across the face right off the bat and demanded to know which man I’d been sneaking into the woods with.
I clutched my cheek and didn’t dare make a sound.
In an attempt to salvage a little dignity, Mother had me put on a Heaven’s Headdress, implying that this child had no father and was a gift from the heavens.
Who would have thought that, as dusk approached, people really did descend from the sky?
Every last one of them was bristling with righteous fury, their eyes red-rimmed, looking even more wronged than I did.
“My Lord was born divine. He is the King of the State, and the Universal Lord besides. How could he possibly have anything to do with some village woman from the countryside?”
“Speak. What exactly did you do?!”
Thinking back to that enormous, awe-inspiring footprint from last night, I was completely bewildered.
“Me? I just… shivered on top of it?” -After Stepping on the God’s Footprint This story is adapted from the ancient myth of “the Jiang Maiden conceiving after stepping in a footprint.”
Basically, it’s a story about the female lead raising a child, the male lead also raising a child, or the two of them raising a child together.
