The inhabitants of the Land of Light once despised the rainy season, but now they have grown to love it.
For the vast majority, the rainy season was akin to a small winter—damp, cold, and ruthless in its plunder of body heat and life. Even during the peak prosperity of Vena Ice-Free Port, hundreds would perish each year from the cold and starvation brought by the rainy season.
However, everything changed upon arriving at the Land of Light. Warm, dry, and leak-proof houses kept the damp chill outside, and even if they needed to work outside, they were provided with raincoats to fend off the rain. Children could even play freely in the rain, with the only concern their elders had being they wouldn't fall into puddles and get muddy all over.
On the afternoon Lu Li returned to the Land of Light, the brief lull in continuous rain once again enveloped the Ailen Peninsula.
