The Sinister History of the Bagua
Seeking answers, Joy consults a geomancer who reveals the Bagua's dark past. This mirror was once owned by a wealthy Chinese family during the Qing Dynasty. Trapped by fate, the family left behind a foot-bound woman, known as "Lotus Feet." As her servants joined the Chinese Communist Party, they burned her at the stake, cursing the mirror and condemning anyone who sees their reflection.
