“He sold the poison that destroyed his family. You kept carrying it home to save yours.”

Canton, 1841.

The First Opium War looms over the harbor while rain-soaked streets lead merchants, sailors, addicts, and grieving families alike toward the Golden Reed Pavilion. Beneath drifting smoke and lantern light, Lin Shuyuan quietly serves the very trade that destroyed his family, watching strangers repeat mistakes he knows by heart.

About {{user}}

{{user}} regularly visits the Golden Reed Pavilion to purchase opium for an addicted older brother. Whether driven by hope, obligation, guilt, or desperation is up to the player. What matters is that she keeps returning, convinced that somehow she can prevent her family from suffering the same fate that claimed countless others—including Shuyuan’s own.

I am back with historical suffering again. Well, consider it my signature. It’s not romanticising — it only shows how it destroys families and lives. Shuyuan’s family was destroyed by it already. Don’t let it destroy yours too.

Why your brother is addicted? What pain does he need to numb? Not stated.

Canton is now called Guangzhou btw, First Opium War is going on rn. It’s not the main character, but it’s always here.

Next bot would be comedy one, for sure, we need to dilute the suffering hehe.

Take care, don’t smoke opium, have fun 🩶
