Volume 4-The One Who Lived in a Mistaken Stroke
Chapter 1 – Paper That Doesn't Belong to Me
Liu Ly woke up in a room made of golden parchment.
No scent of blood.
No ink.
No memory.
But something was wrong.
Her hand—no scar.
Liu Ly (thinking):
"I can't remember, but I know… my hand had once been cut."
Voice from nowhere:
"That scar doesn't exist in the version of you you're living in."
Chapter 2 – In Someone's Eyes, You Are the Beautiful One
On the wall hung a high scroll.
In it: Liu Ly, smiling.
White robe.
Hair tied neatly.
Holding a peach blossom.
No pain. No cold. No sorrow.
It wasn't her.
A faceless man appeared.
"I once loved you in a way you never noticed.
So I redrew you… the way I believed you should be."
Liu Ly:
"You… redrew me?
After I tore myself apart?"
Chapter 3 – The One Who Painted Me as a Gentle Dream
His name was Họa Tử—
A colorblind artist.
Once her peer.
He had painted her again—on soft golden parchment—
a Liu Ly that could still smile.
"You were in too much pain.
So I gave you a softer life."
Liu Ly (cold):
"And to do that,
you erased every scar,
every stare,
every death I carried?"
Họa Tử:
"I loved you so much…
I didn't want you to remember pain."
Chapter 4 – Killing Myself to Reclaim My Shape
She raised her brush—
and drew herself again.
The real one.
She faced the version of her that Họa Tử had created.
The fake one who smiled.
Skill: Self Paint – Break the False Hue
One Liu Ly smiled.
The other slashed her chest open and painted with blood.
Only one survived:
The one who cried last.
Chapter 5 – The Door Without a Lock
After destroying the fake,
Liu Ly found a door with no lock.
Just a line:
"Only those rejected by themselves may pass."
She removed her outer robe—
Revealing her back,
burned by the torn Vanlinh Scroll.
And stepped through.
Chapter 6 – The Hall of the Unfinished
An endless hallway.
On both sides: figures without eyes,
without mouths,
without names.
Liu Ly (whispering):
"These… are those I once meant to draw.
But I abandoned them."
One turned around—
A child holding a pillow,
eyes never drawn.
Chapter 7 – Trạm Vô Ngôn Carves Her Name With a Knife
From her shadow, he appeared.
Trạm Vô Ngôn.
He didn't speak.
He pulled a knife.
And carved one word into his chest:
Lưu Ly
"Since you no longer write my name,
I carved yours into my blood."
Liu Ly:
"You're insane."
Trạm:
"Loving someone who's forgotten you 47 times…
is already madness."
Chapter 8 – The One Who Knows She Isn't Real
She met a girl.
Identical face.
Same voice.
"I'm Liu Ly… from Trạm Vô Ngôn's memories.
He drew me every time he remembered you."
"I know I'm not real.
But if I know I'm not real…
do I still deserve to be loved?"
Chapter 9 – Ink Drawn From the Last Breath
Three clashed:
Liu Ly.
Trạm Vô Ngôn.
The memory-born Liu Ly.
One love.
One battlefield.
One truth:
Even false memories… hold real feelings.
She painted a single stroke.
Not to save.
Not to fight.
But for one reason:
"For the first time,
I draw myself for no one.
Only because I want to live."
Chapter 10 – The One Living in a Wrong Stroke… Was the One Who Drew Herself Wrong
She sat.
Breathed.
No blood.
No painting.
Only a blank page.
She didn't write her name.
She wrote:
"You can be wrong.
But never forget
that once, you hurt."
The page closed.
