Fu City.
Fu City was an old city with a long history, divided into east, west, south, and north. In earlier times, there had always been a saying: the east was rich, the west noble, the south poor, and the north lowly.
Although the modern era had arrived and the city was changing rapidly, certain places had stayed the same.
For instance, the Old Town in the south.
There was a large stretch of old houses here, all quite advanced in years, enough to count as antiquities.
But they had never been developed or put to use. Supposedly, experts had made a special trip to inspect them back then, and concluded that they had no development value. Even in ancient times, those old buildings had been nothing but shabby hovels. In other words... this was an area specifically meant to house unruly commoners and the poor.
Thus, the southern Old Town had remained almost entirely unchanged. Apart from a little road planning, the old houses remained old houses, and the worn-out homes remained worn-out homes.
No dignitaries lived here, and people from all walks of life were unwilling to come either. This was a truly forgotten "land of the poor."
Yet strangely enough, [Huai'an Residential Complex] had recently become famous.
All because the Old Locust Tree inside Huai'an Residential Complex had become an Acacia Tree renowned far and wide.
Influencers of every stripe had rushed over upon hearing the news. With all their repeated publicity, most of Fu City's young people had learned of the Old Locust Tree in Huai'an Residential Complex in the south of the city. They had also heard that lovers could stay united forever by tying a red string to its branches.
Young people these days were not actually superstitious, but that did not stop them
