episode 1-Introduction.

'She's a bane!'

'What an unlucky child!'

'you killed your parents!!'

I woke up with a start,sat up and started sweating like crazy even though it was November.

It was Monday..again.I somehow made it to the bathroom and washed my face.

'Blue.You can do this.'

I tell this to myself everyday.Nothing new.

The same,usual and boring life,only to sometimes wake up with nightmares of my past,haunting me.

My name is Gu Ying Yue and I come from a typical superstitious Chinese family.The matter with my name is quite ironic as my English name is 'Morta' which is also the name of the Roman Goddess Of Death while my Chinese name is considered a beautiful name for girls.I was told that my mother had chose my chinese name during her early pregnancy and I'm quite thankful to her for that.At least something about my existence is nice.

My paternal aunt gave me my English name because....well,my mother died during childbirth and my superstitious relatives blamed it on me,saying I was cursed.As far as I remember,my uncle and aunt once suggested giving me up for adoption or sending me away to a nunnery because according to them,I would bring death upon my family members.I was still in kindergarten that time and my father and grandparents were strictly against it.But as I grew up,more deaths of my relatives occured and their deaths always had something in common.At this point the constant pressures of my relatives of sending me away also grew.When I was in high school,my father couldn't take the pressure any more and decided that he would send me away to India for further studies.I didn't say anything.But the night before leaving- nevermind.

I wiped my face and realized I was late 'Shit I'm late!' I skipped breakfast that day and went for my part time job.I went down the stairs of my apartment and entered the convenience store.The convenience store in which I work was right below my apartment so it was efficient.I entered the store,put on my uniform and stood at the cash counter..as usual.My life was pretty normal most of the time,nothing out of the ordinary.

Sometimes I would think if I wasn't 'cursed',what if it was all superstitious belief and at the same time,I would also think of what to do if I really was cursed.'At some point,would my relatives really kill me if I actually was responsible of my other relatives' death?Or would my 'curse' get to me before all of that and I would die too?'

These thoughts would just flood my mind at some days and because of all those overthinking,I would look haggard.Some time later,my co-worker Bai Xiao entered the store and greeted me.I greeted him back.Our day went on this way.Later on,around 7 in the evening,just as my shift was about to end and I was about to leave,a customer stood in front of the cash counter and I lifted my face.

To my surprise,it was him.

'Hey,long time no see!'
