Where are you!?
Xia Fuguang

Xia Fuguang

Xia Yueguang
Sister Fuguang look!
Xia Yueguang
Look at this rare looking frog!
Xia Fuguang
Yue'er!! *grabs her and drags her away*
Xia Fuguang
Yue'er, the weather these days have been bad, and the wind and water currents are strong
Xia Fuguang
You shouldn't be going outside often and getting near any bodies of water
Xia Fuguang
What if something happens to you!
Xia Yueguang
I'm sorry sister, I just got bored
Xia Fuguang
Come! I have finished collecting the herbs we need, it's time to go back
Xia Fuguang
Mother we're back!!
Xia Zengzhe
Fu'er did you get all the herbs?
Xia Fuguang
And Yue'er over here!!
Xia Zengzhe
I knew she went to find you
Xia Fuguang
That's why you didn't look for her!?
Xia Yueguang
Mother knows me well!
Xia Zengzhe
Yue'er! I fear that there will be a storm coming
Xia Zengzhe
So please behave yourself and stay indoors
Xia Yueguang
yes mother...
Xia Zengzhe
Yue'er come help sort out these herbs and Fu'er go and make us dinner
Yun Junzu
Father! Father!!
Yun Junzu
I...I heard that the fourth and sixth houses in Shengju are in trouble!
Yun Junzu
Half of their Manor was destroyed and so was most of their lands
Yun Cuiqu
4th and 6th brother are in dire need of help
Yun Cuiqu
but...I fear that their farmlands are beyond recovery
Yun Junzu
It was all because of the massive storm
Yun Cuiqu
Yes, this massive storm started from the east is now heading towards the capital, which will eventually reach us here in the west
Yun Cuiqu
We don't have time to help the Fourth and Sixth houses
Yun Cuiqu
We ourselves must prioritise our safety first
Yun Cuiqu
The 4th and 6th houses will seek refuge at the 3rd House is the east
Yun Cuiqu
We will have to move to the capital, to the first house
Yun Cuiqu
I fear our home won't be able to handle this storm
Yun Junzu
But father what about-
Yun Cuiqu
Junzu we have a big family, your mother and sister are sickly we must prioritise them first
Yun Cuiqu
We will start packing now and we'll leave as soon as possible
Yun Junzu
Father!! we will come back after the storm has passed right?
Yun Cuiqu
Once we have confirmed it to be safe, yes
Yun Cuiqu
(This storm....)
Yun Cuiqu
(It will pass through the south, north, capital and eventually to here...)
Yun Cuiqu
(This...we have not experienced such a calamity before...)
A Great Calamity Befell the
Sangjun Empire
The Zaihai Storm completely wiping out half of the Empire
The northern provinces were destroyed by a huge tornado
While the Western provinces that was closest to the ocean, suffered from a flood

Episode 2
A few months after the Great Zaihai Storm
Xia Yueguang
I'm...tired...
House Madam
C'MON!!! C'MON!! FASTER! FASTER!
House Madam
YOU DARN SLAVES!!
House Madam
WHAT USE DO YOU HAVE HUH?
Xia Yueguang
(s...scary..)
Xia Yueguang
(I don't like that man)
House Madam
HOW ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO BE BOUGHT IF YOUR USELESS!?
Genji
B...but what if we don't want to be bought?
House Madam
Hah! you dare talk back to me!?
House Madam
Hmph fine! Since you know nothing about the life slaves, I'll tell you
House Madam
You! Slaves! Can do nothing as long as you have a slave contract!
House Madam
Your slave contracts is your life! If your slave contract is bought, then your life belongs to the person who bought it!
House Madam
You dirty slaves can only hope to be bought by a noble!!
House Madam
Then you can work for that noble and your life is set
House Madam
Hmph ofcourse unless you climb up more, which I doubt you can *sneers*
Genji
what happens if our contracts aren't bought?
House Madam
If your contracts aren't bought within ten years, you'll be sold to a brothel, to another country, sold to the red market or you'll be killed directly by us
Xia Yueguang
(k...killed!?)
House Madam
If you actually do a good job, I just put in a good word for you to future clients
House Madam
SO START WORKING!!
Xia Yueguang
sister Genji, what's the red market?
Genji
I...it is a place where people sell human organs
Xia Yueguang
Like...our insides!?
Genji
(A young girl shouldn't be hearing this....)
Genji
Yueguang...that's why...
Genji
from now on we must work hard and do our jobs right, we must always be on the good side of the house owners so that they will recommend us to high ranking noble houses
Xia Yueguang
but...but I don't want to work as a maid in a noble house
Genji
Yueguang, we are slaves now
Genji
In order for us slaves to live and survive that is what we must do...
Genji
How about you take a break first
Genji
Sister will finish this for you
Genji
Don't worry, it's just us around here...no one will know
Genji
Now go sit by the river and rest
Xia Yueguang
😔why...why is this happening?
Xia Yueguang
Sister Fuguang...please guide me with your wisdom...
Yun Junzu
How can the dead give wisdom?
Xia Yueguang
*turns around*
Xia Yueguang
who...are you?
Yun Junzu
I'm...also a slave like you
Xia Yueguang
I have never seen you before!
Xia Yueguang
and you don't look like a slave
Yun Junzu
I'am from a noble house
Xia Yueguang
But..I thought most nobles moved to the capital
Yun Junzu
I'am...my hometown is at Yangzhou
Yun Junzu
I've come with my father to survey our lands, we just so happened to stop here in Zangzhou
Xia Yueguang
You are so far away...why-
Yun Junzu
I've gotten lost
Yun Junzu
I heard a little girl's voice so I came to follow
Xia Yueguang
I...I'm sorry...but I can't help you
Xia Yueguang
I'm not from Zangzhou
Yun Junzu
Y...your a survivor that got caught and turned into slave right!?
Yun Junzu
how...how can they do this to a young girl...
Xia Yueguang
The house Madam said that the only way to escape being a slave, is that we get bought by noble households and work for them as servants...
Yun Junzu
that's...that is true...
Xia Yueguang
I...I don't want to be a slave!!! waaaahhhh
Xia Yueguang
They...they make us do a lot of work...
Xia Yueguang
they hurt us...don't give us food...
Xia Yueguang
and...and...I...I heard
Xia Yueguang
I heard that some bad men...would take elder sisters and forcefully take away their chastity!! waaaaaahhhhhh
Yun Junzu
Horrible!! Just horrible!!
Yun Junzu
I heard that slaves live a bad life, but...to think it would this horrible....
Yun Junzu

Xia Yueguang
It's...its alright sister
Xia Yueguang
we can't do anything...
Xia Yueguang
next time....
Xia Yueguang
next time I won't skip my work
Yun Junzu
Father...about what happened at Zanzhou...
Yun Cuiqu
I've already punished that servant
Yun Cuiqu
He too will become a slave that he detest
Yun Junzu
Thank you father...but..
Yun Junzu
It's about the young slave girl
Yun Junzu
Father please...they are also victims of the great storm
Yun Junzu
They don't deserve such treatment
Yun Cuiqu
But for some these may also be a blessing in disguise
Yun Cuiqu
Take that little child for example
Yun Cuiqu
How old is she? After losing her home and family, what will she do next?
Yun Cuiqu
Does she know what to do next?
Yun Cuiqu
Will she be able to survive on her own?
Yun Cuiqu
Begging for Adoption is not an option either...
Yun Cuiqu
many are facing with great problems with their own life
Yun Cuiqu
They don't have time to feed another mouth when they can barely feed their own...
Yun Cuiqu
And sooner or later that little child will still become a slave or worst case scenario....
Yun Cuiqu
If she's a slave she will be able to find a home, she will survive
Yun Cuiqu
Though it is indeed horrible to treat slaves like animals...
Yun Cuiqu
It is only temporary until they are bought
Yun Junzu
I want to end her suffering now!
Yun Junzu
I...I want to buy her slave contract!
Yun Junzu
Have her work for us!
Yun Junzu
I...I just can't accept the fact that a young child is being treated like that...
Yun Cuiqu
On our way back to the capital we will stop by that slave house
Yun Junzu
*bows* Thank you Father!!
Yun Cuiqu
Alright go on ahead now!
Xia Yueguang
sis....sister!?
Genji
I don't think it will work like that
Genji
We need better equipment
Xia Yueguang
But the others have already taken all of the cleaning equipments
Genji
I'm sure there are still left in the supply room
Genji
You continue to scrub
Genji
But if we take too long, the house Madam will scold us...
Genji
I'am going to leave now
Bad Man
C'mon I'm being kind to a slave like you
Bad Man
Tell me, what's wrong?
Genji
I don't need any help
Bad Man
How dare a slave like you talk back to me!!
Bad Man
If you pleasure me well I might buy your Slave contract and get you out of here
Genji
I'd rather stay here and work than be your wife!!
Genji
AAAAAHHHHHHH HELP!!!!
Xia Yueguang
mmm~ sister Genji is taking so long...
Xia Yueguang
huh? ah! House Madam
House Madam
What are you doing? This isn't even half as clean yet!!
Xia Yueguang
*kneels* I'm sorry House Madam I've tried scrubbing it as hard as I can but now my hands hurt
Xia Yueguang
Sister Genji went to get better equipment but she still hasn't come back
House Madam
hmph! now that I think about it..
House Madam
the materials your using are the wrong materials!! Ofcourse it won't work!!
Xia Yueguang
House Madam we didn't know what we were cleaning until we got here so we picked the wrong equipment
House Madam
Ofcourse how would a child know anything about cleaning? It must have been that wench you were with
Xia Yueguang
I...I'll go to the supply room House Madam
Xia Yueguang
Sister Genji!
Xia Yueguang
Sister Genji-
Genji

Bad Man
A little brat? you want some of this too?
Bad Man

Xia Yueguang

Bad Man
*Runs away bumping the old lady*
House Madam

House Madam

House Madam

Xia Yueguang

House Madam
Hmph luckily I came in time
House Madam
There's nothing I can do about this girl
House Madam
She's been defiled now
House Madam
Matters not, she's just a slave...
Xia Yueguang
That bad man house Madam!!! waaaahhh
House Madam
Even if we manage to catch that man and turn him in to the authorities, there is nothing we can do
House Madam
What's happened has already happened, it won't take back her chastity
House Madam
And no one would really care much about a slave
Xia Yueguang
waaahhhh sister Genji!
House Madam
Cover her up!!
House Madam
I'll make sure no rapists enter my house and touch my slaves
House Madam
