With a serene face and a delicate demeanor, Jian put down the newspaper she was holding and couldn't help but sing praises — this once mistress of the Dort District Police Chief, had now changed out of that long 'Belite' dress made predominantly of wool and silk with long sleeves, for a replacement black fabric skirt. The colorful ram's horn shawl had also been swapped for a cotton one prioritizing warmth, and instead of jewelry in her hair, she now wore a simple wooden hairpin.

In a way, she was.
Jian, to be honest, was only 19 years old this year.
