Narrator (Author)
Ke Zixin slaps Jin Guan. Jin Huan falls to the ground, clutching her cheek, and speaks angrily.
Jin Guan
Why don't I dare? This awful woman. Kang Huan has no shame! As a high-level concubine, I am. Naturally qualified to punish her.
Kang Huan
(Sobbing): Emperor I'm not. I'm truly not.
Narrator (Author)
Kang Huan's eyes well up with tears, and Ke Zixin clutches her hand and says sweetly to her.
Ke Zixin
Of course. Deliver my order, Jin Guan is jealous and behaving wild. Her status as a high-level concubine will now be reverted, and she will become a low-level concubine.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan shocked falls to the ground on her knees then said in a sad tone
Jin Guan
(Sad): Emperor...
Ke Zixin
Kang Huan, on the other hand.
Ke Zixin
(Happy): Kang Huan is lovely and warm, and she is now carrying my baby. Promote to middle-level concubine.
Kang Huan
(Happy): Emperor so you know.
Ke Zixin
Of course, I rushed to visit you as soon as the doctor said the news, but you were summoned by Jin Guan.
Kang Huan
Sister simply misinterpreted me, without intending to do so.
Narrator (Author)
Oh and when she meant Sister she didn't mean it like as in her family she just said it out of politeness that's all to please the emperor
Jin Guan
Baby? You claim that this awful woman is carrying your child?
Ke Zixin
Yes therefore, I am unable to allow you to harm her at the expense of my child.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan laughed sarcastically as soon as she heard him say that, and then spoke in a mournful tone.
Jin Guan
Hurt? Emperor, you and I had been married for more than four years.
Narrator (Author)
Her eyes welled up with tears as she continued to talk.
Jin Guan
Is that how you see me?
Narrator (Author)
As she spoke further, Ke Zixin continued to glare at Jin Guan with icy and heartless eyes.
Jin Guan
In our first year of marriage, you were not yet on the throne. The ex-crown served you deadly wine at the feast, which I stole and drank. At Tut Tribe Rebellion, you led an army into battle but were attacked. All night long I begged my father and brother for assistance while kneeling in the snow. Then at Lord Zou leads a rebellion on the eve of the throne. I was the one who shielded you from the lethal attack. I've never done anything to hurt you.
Narrator (Author)
Tears were already falling from her eyes as she told him all of this as there was a brief pause before Ke Zixin spoke.
Narrator (Author)
Suddenly, Kang Huan knelt on the ground, startling Ke Zixin, he spoke in a frightened tone.
Kang Huan
Please, Emperor, forgive sister! If Sister's father and brother of the Jin family understood that the sister had been wronged, I fear for Sister's safety. Huan does not want to cause you any problems, so please forgive her.
Ke Zixin
I won't allow you to be wronged, and you don't want to cause trouble. Deliver my order, General Jin's family education is not strict and his daughter Jin Guan abused her power. Ordered her to remain in the room to reflect from now on.
Narrator (Author)
Kang Huan and Ke Zixin started to leave her bedroom, but Ke Zixin stopped, turned to face Jin Guan, and spoke in a serious tone.
Ke Zixin
Jin Guan people change, and you've long become like someone I don't know, so cruel.
Narrator (Author)
As Ke Zixin and Kang Huan left the room, the doors slammed violently at Jin Guan. Alone in her chamber, Jin Guan laughed uncontrollably before speaking in a sorrowful, broken tone as tears continued flow down her face.
Jin Guan
Am I the one who has changed? Or have you changed?
Narrator (Author)
As she said this, she begun to hit her head against the pillar, then spoke in a mournful voice, as she was losing consciousness.
Narrator (Author)
As she collapsed on the ground, an unknown man appeared in front of Jin Guan's lifeless body and spoke in a hushed tone.
Unknown Man
I guess she died of a concussion; perhaps I should first have some fun with her.
Narrator (Author)
As he said this, the man knelt down and placed his hand in front of Jin Guan. As he did so, the light began to glow around her and grew stronger. The man then began chanting some spells. Just then, the light stopped glowing around her, and he stopped chanting. Jin Guan slowly opened her eyes and knelt up, not realizing the man was there. She touched her head and then spoke in a weak voice.
Jin Guan
What happened? Shouldn't I be dead by now?
Unknown Man
You were supposed to be dead, but I resurrected you, so you should thank me.
Unknown Man
When Jin Guan turns around and notices the man standing behind her, she screams, but the man quickly covered her mouth and spoke in a serious voice.
Unknown Man
Wow, I resurrected you and this is thank me? I suggest if you keep your mouth shut like a dead mouse because if you scream, the guards will hear us and I'll be found out. I'll release my grip now, but you need to keep quiet, got it?
Unknown Man
Oh, that's right you can't talk.
Narrator (Author)
The man laughed, which made Jin Guan nervous and caused her to think in her head.
Jin Guan
(Thoughts): What the hell is he talking about? Resurrection? Dead? No, this is foolishness; it's the afterlife, and I just passed away from a concussion. He's just a commoner making up stories.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan's thoughts were interrupted when the man called her, which caused Jin Guan to look at the man, and the man said to Jin Guan.
Unknown Man
*Sighs* Nod up and down if you agree to cooperate with me, and nod right and left if you don't. So, what's your response?
Jin Guan
(Thoughts): Argh! I refuse to work with this commoner! But if I don't cooperate, this commoner may hurt or even worse kill me, despite the fact that I don't believe what he just said earlier i have no choice but to unwillingly cooperate.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan nodded up and down, which caused the man to smirk. Jin Guan observed the look on his face that made her angry, but she kept her emotions in check. As the man pulled his hand away from Jin Guan's mouth, she looked at him with suspicious eyes, indicating to the man that she was wary of him, so the man groaned, sat down on the floor, and spoke in a tired voice.
Unknown Man
You've got some questions, don't you?
Jin Guan
How do you know I had questions?
Unknown Man
It's written all over your face.
Unknown Man
Ask me a question.
Unknown Man
You can only ask 3 questions.
Unknown Man
Okay that was your first question.
Jin Guan
WHAT!? I don't understand what's going on here! Who are you!
Narrator (Author)
As she asked him this, there was silence in the room. The man gazed at Jin Guan with serious and gloomy eyes, making Jin Guan apprehensive, and then he spoke in a serious tone.
Unknown Man
There are magicians in this world but are hidden for main reasons who have used their magic for significant purposes, and I am one of them but just different from them.
Narrator (Author)
There was silence until it was broken by a tremendous laughter coming from Jin Guan.
Jin Guan
Oh my! Is this a joke? I knew it! I've already died, and this is the afterlife! You are not a magician! You're nothing more than a commoner making up stories!
Narrator (Author)
She was laughing so hard that she didn't notice that the room had turned dark and gloomy, and the man's expression had turned dark and gloomy as well. Jin Guan was lifted into the air, choking in the air, and she looked at the man, who was now standing at the ground, and she saw magic surrounding them. The man's eyes were blazing, but they were darker due to his eye color, and he spoke in a gloomy and exhausted voice.
Unknown Man
You're making a lot of noise
Jin Guan
W-WAIT! Ah! I c-can't move. P-Please s-spare me!
Unknown Man
That's too bad. That is something I don't do. I resurrected you because I wanted to have some fun, and the only reason I resurrected you was because I needed a high-ranking soul, but now I'm thinking that I should kill you. I mean, I won't be able to have your soul, but hearing your screams and cries as I torture you to death will be more fun.
Jin Guan
IF! If you would spare me then, I would give you my entire soul!
Unknown Man
Do you believe I'd do something like that merely to make you think I would do that for a simple dead soul like you?
Jin Guan
PLEASE! I will not be satisfied unless I take revenge on those who have turned my life upside down! I've finally gained the confidence to stand up to anybody, and today will be my time to take my vengeance! I promise, in the name of the Jin family, that once I took my vengeance on those f*ckers, particularly Kang Huan and Ke Zixin, you can do anything you want with my soul.
Unknown Man
Revenge? Interesting alright let's do it.
Narrator (Author)
Saying this, the magic that had been enveloping them vanished, and Jin Guan fell hard to the ground then Jin Guan thought in her mind.
Jin Guan
(Thoughts): This magician, commoner, or whatever he is, should have been a little more gentle, jeez!
Unknown Man
But, you know, this isn't an easy choice for you. In exchange for giving in to your cravings, your soul will perish forever. Not even the slightest remnant on the whole continent~ If you insist on having your soul taken right now, you can still go to the afterlife rather than having your soul washed away from the universe. So, what are your options taking your soul right now or revenge?
Jin Guan
I'm going to go with revenge.
Unknown Man
As you wish. Jin Guan correct?
Jin Guan
H-Huh? Yes that's correct
Narrator (Author)
The man approached Jin Guan and placed his hand in front of her chest, which terrified Jin Guan. She quickly closed her eyes, expecting him to choke her throat, but instead she felt and sensed light on her chest, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the man using his magic to create something around her neck. As soon as he stopped working his magic, she noticed that he had created a necklace around her neck. She looked at the man and asked in a curious tone.
Jin Guan
What is this for?
Unknown Man
That's your last question. That's for in exchange for a contract.
Unknown Man
Hah... That necklace serves as our agreement's contract.
Jin Guan
Oh, really? So why are we using a necklace as our contract? Wouldn't it be preferable if we signed it on paper?
Unknown Man
It would be, but since you agreed that once you want your revenge, I could do anything with your soul, which means you'd vanish into thin air once you're done, I had to make a necklace that serves as our contract, which you can't remove it no matter what.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan was intrigued and terrified, so she stuttering asked.
Jin Guan
W-what happens if I remove it?
Narrator (Author)
The man approached Jin Guan and approached her ear, which shocked her little, before saying in a serious yet quiet voice.
Unknown Man
You will die and disappear then.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan was terrified when she heard those words, and she trembled while the man continued sarcastically.
Unknown Man
But don't worry, I'll look out for you and keep you safe, so you won't perish so quickly. Plus, I'm only a secret weapon for your desires.
Jin Guan
(Thoughts): If he's my secret weapon, I can use him whenever I want. Even though I don't trust this cunning magician, I am forced to choose between taking my revenge and dying later or being killed by the magician on the spot.
Jin Guan
When should we begin?
Unknown Man
You can choose, but it would be great to start right away, the sooner the better.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan looked down at her palm and saw her blood on it, then she murmured aloud.
Jin Guan
I was so hard on myself that I suffered from a concussion as a result of my own savagery.
Unknown Man
Because of this, we magicians set up people like you to assist you in changing your fate and your life in exchange for which we will take your souls at the end of our contract.
Jin Guan
But I unfortunately had a concussion.
Unknown Man
Oh, right I forgot, and I notice that the emperor cherishes Kang Huan greatly.
Jin Guan
Now, this situation is challenging. In situations where I may have a concussion, I find it difficult to settle the problem gently.
Unknown Man
Be good. You don't want me to use my magic on you once more, right?
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan was sweating a lot and gulped in silence. The scene shifts to a house inside which a door led to a place where the previous man had entered silently and invisibly without anyone being able to see him. The emperor was stamping a decree inside the room when a man raised his hand toward the table to the emperor's left and began using magic to create a different decree. He then stopped using magic and waited for the emperor to stamp the decree that the man had created. It didn't take long for the emperor to stamp the man's decree. Once the emperor stamped the decree, the man discreetly walked towards the decree and used his magic to make the emperor fall asleep, then took the decree and exited the room. The scene switches to Jin Guan's home. When she saw the man return with the decree, her eyes lit up in amazement. Jin Guan was shocked and was sparked in her eyes then spoke in a surprised voice.
Jin Guan
Wow, the spell Creativity really lives up to its name. You just got the decree in this way. Let me see the decree!
Unknown Man
Creativity is merely a weak spell that only lasts for three hours and allows you to create any object. It's not all that impressive.
Jin Guan
With this decree, I can justify adopting a prince.
Unknown Man
I don't understand, since this is a decree. Why not simply execute Kang Huan?
Jin Guan
The reason for this is because killing a pig with a blunt knife hurts more.
