The Tale Of Bamboo Cutter

Ling Yiran dijatuhi hukuman tiga tahun penjara akibat kecelakaan mobil yang menewaskan tunangan Yi Jinli, orang terkaya di Kota Shen. Ketika dibebaskan dari penjara, wanita ini entah bagaimana membuat Yi Jinli penasaran. Ling Yiran berlutut di tanah dan memohon padanya, "Yi Jinli, bisakah kau membebaskan aku?" Tapi Yi Jinli hanya tersenyum dan berkata, "Aku tidak akan pernah membebaskanmu." Yi Jinli adalah orang yang sama sekali tidak peduli pada siapapun dan pada semua orang, tetapi entah mengapa, dia melakukan apa saja untuk menyenangkan gadis tukang bersih-bersih yang telah dipenjara selama tiga tahun ini. Namun, peristiwa kecelakaan mobil itu telah merampas semua cinta Ling Yiran kepada Yi Jinli dan dia berusaha untuk melarikan diri. Beberapa tahun kemudian, Yi Jinli tersungkur memelas, "Yiran, selama kamu kembali di sisiku, aku akan melakukan apa saja untukmu." Ling Yiran hanya menatapnya dengan dingin dan berkata, "Kalau begitu, mati sajalah."

She was once a woman—a lesbian to be exact—in her past life, fantasizing about having a date with beautiful girls and dreaming to act like a real man does someday. But she was afraid to show her true colors because she was living in a judgemental society. Not until, she was trapped in a burning hospital building, trying to save an old woman before herself but only to find out that old woman was only an apparition of a deceased person. She died there, sacrificing her life for nothing. Many things happened in her mind before she runs out of breath. The next thing happened, she emerged from a bamboo tree and woke up into another realm. And to her surprise, she was reincarnated as a teenage guy possessing magical skills. She is Princess Maria Isabelle De Lata who later known as Reign Thunderstorm in the magical world of Artesia. And this is her… wait a minute… and this is the story of how she or… he became a legend.

Ling Yiran had been sentenced to three years in prison due to the car accident that killed the fiancée of Yi Jinli, the richest man in Shen City. When released from prison, she somehow ended up catching the attention of Yi Jinli. She kneeled on the ground and begged him, "Yi Jinli, can you let me go?" But he only smiled and said, "Sister, I will never let you go." It was said that Yi Jinli was completely indifferent to anyone and everyone, but for some reason, he did everything he could to please a sanitation worker girl who had been in prison for the past three years. However, the truth of the car accident that year had robbed her of all her love for him, and she ran away. Many years later, he begged her while on the ground, "Yiran, as long as you return by my side, I will do anything for you." But she only stared at him coldly and said, "Then, go die."

In the coastal quiet of Baler, a studio is born—not of architecture, but of intention.* Founded by Yam, a poet whose words cradle pain gently, and Franc, an artist who paints tenderness into walls, the studio becomes a refuge for those learning to stay—with grief, love, longing, and themselves. As visitors arrive, they leave behind more than footprints: a sigh recorded in bamboo, a poem tucked into the “Found Letters” shelf, a mural painted in crooked lines. Through zines, tea, silence, and sketchbooks, the studio teaches softness as revolution. Ren creates the *Window of Soft Returns*, an installation of anonymous voice recordings—each whisper forming a community of echoes. Drew builds the *Staircase With No Wrong Turns*, inviting people to walk through emotions without shame. Franc offers brushstrokes as brave work, and Yam curates writing circles that map healing in half sentences. Together, they host festivals that feel like hugs, and they begin traveling their archive, letting softness cross oceans. Even those who once left—like Miguel—return, discovering that some doors never truly close. Others, like Tala, capture the studio’s sound and turn it into a podcast of breath and becoming. Over seventy chapters, the studio transforms into something larger than itself: a mural of memory, a sanctuary for second chances, a place where return is sacred and voice is proof of survival. In the final bloom, the studio stands not as a monument—but as a reminder: > *“Staying isn’t easy. > But chosen together, > it becomes home.”*

The tale whispered from generations, until eventually, the tale was lost. Only a few remember, and even fewer know the truth. There once was a tale of three, a power to be held by she.

And for Calypso to be free, the price of her legacy, she therewith must agree.
