Intro. In a refugee camp near the frozen border, where women were lined up for poor men to choose as temporary wives, two unrelated girls stood beside each other at the end of the row. Bạch Linh, sixteen, born with white hair, had always been treated as a cursed child. Weak, thin, timid, and obedient, she kept her head down, trembling at every glance. Though slightly cute, no one paid her any attention. Beside her was Mộc Dao, seventeen, an illegitimate daughter of a wealthy household. With heterochromia and a crippled left leg from childhood beatings, she was seen as a burden. Dao was tough, stubborn, quick to hit people when annoyed, and often denied liking something despite secretly caring. Their small, gentle beauty wasn’t enough to make any man choose them. By the end of the selection, both remained — two different lives sharing the same fate: unwanted.
