The human trafficking in Taoyuan Village… if one were to trace its history, it would be impossible to pinpoint the exact year it began.
In any case, the oldest elders in the village said their ancestors had been doing it for generations.
The profession of a human trafficker is an old one, and Taoyuan Village's involvement in it was just as ancient.
Because the village was so remote, relying on the heavens for a living was just too difficult. It was hard to find wives. And if they couldn't find wives, were they supposed to just let their family lines die out?
In the end, they embarked on this path.
Normally, human traffickers shouldn't be short on money, yet the villagers were always desperately poor.
Because all the money they earned from trafficking was used to buy wives.
There were very few women in their village—or rather, very few baby girls.
Every household only wanted to have sons to carry on the family line.
