PROLUGUE

"After everything I've done for you, this is how you repay me?" Bai Luoheng said, looking at Li Xiaoping with an expressionless face.

"What did you do for me, huh?" He started with a questioning look. "With my memories not deceiving me, I'm sure that the only thing you did was make me look bad to the whole city, you foolish woman!" Li Xiaoping shouted.

"Well, I'm pretty sure you want me dead, and even if I'm alive, my emotions are already dead, so there's no point in living." 

Bai Luoheng looked at the guard beside her and removed his sword, immediately stabbing herself. It happened so quickly and swiftly like the wind that the guard couldn't control his jaw from dropping.

"Close that filthy mouth of yours before a fly goes in. Haven't you ever seen someone as fast as that and even faster than that?" Li Xiaoping yelled in irritation.

"Yes Prince, I'm sorry," the innocent guard replied immediately.

"Quickly discard this body far in the bushes. The vultures will surely do their job happily. What are you still doing standing there!"

"Oh, sorry prince," the guard said and quickly started to drag the body.

"Sometimes, I do think that vultures and ants are more sensible and hardworking than you foolish humans who have no sense of reasoning," Li Xiaoping said with an irritated frown and walked away.

'Like you're not a human too,' The guard thought in his mind. 

If it wasn't for his family and food, he wouldn't have been here doing these filthy unclean jobs for the prince. In fact, in this whole city, no one would ever believe that Prince Xiaoping would do such a thing to a woman, to his wife for that matter.  He was not human at all, just a devil in sheep's clothing!

"Hey brother, where have you been, I've been searching for you everywhere!" Li Mo Zhi pouted, waving her hand as soon as she set eyes on her brother.

"Ah, Little Zhi... I was just settling some matters but it has been resolved though," He lied

"What matters?"

"Its none of your business"

Li Mo Zhi frowned.

"But I'm here now, there's nothing to worry about," Li Xiaoping said laughing. "By the way, what happened?" Li Xiaoping asked tactfully, trying to avoid any more unfriendly questions.

"Mother has sent for you" Li Mo Zhi answered indifferently and turned away to leave, but suddenly, her face brightened.

"Aha! Before I forget, do you perhaps know where Sister Louheng is?"  

"...No, I don't."

"I've been looking for her for what seems like ages and I can't find her still."

"I better get going before mother gets upset." he said and walked away.

"Tsk, what's the hurry?" She sighed and said dreamily, "Love can do wonders, I can't wait to get married. Anyway, it's none of my business as brother said."

Li Mozhi walking away, still searching for Bai Louheng.
