Waves Of Blessings

Wave of Blessings : Prologue

For the main character to be born into a strict family that barely allowed them to breathe loudly and mould them into an emotionally constipated person until they meet their fated one is actually quite common plot for romance novels.

She love that troupe. Because it's mean there will be a journey of development for the main character to discover their own feeling and how to express them more freely. And it's always refreshing to read how the main character finally stand up against their family to reach what they actually always wanted and believed, even if it will hurt them in the process.

Yes. Reading it has been refreshing.

But to see that same cliche plot applied to your own brother? Not at all.

Lan Lianzhi stood in a trance, after she witnessed how her precious twin brother went against 33 elders of their sect to protect his love. Now here in front of wall of rules, they strip his upper body bare as preparation for his punishment. 33 lashes for all the elders he injured with discipline whip.

She gasped, and her body shook. His A-Zhan, his precious and beloved twin who always find it difficult to express his own emotions, is going to be whipped.

"Shufu..." She approached their uncle, ignoring how weak her legs felt when she walked. "Shufu, you have to stop this..."

But her uncle didn't move from his spot, still firm like a stone. Like he's going to let his nephew to be whipped, like he's going to do nothing.

"Shufu, please do something!" She asked once more, with growing desperation on her tone. "Please stop them, they're going to hurt A-Zhan!"

But her uncle stood still in his spot. Immoveable. Even until the first strike land on A-Zhan's back.

"No!" She cried. "Nonono, stop this!"

She run into her older brother next. Her eyes already flooded with her tears. "Huan-ge! Huan-ge, you have to stop them!"

But just like their uncle, he is unmoved as well.

She can tell how hurt her Gege is, how it pained him to see their brother to be whipped like this. But why can't he move to end it all!!?

"Fuck!" She cursed. Loud and bitter. "Fuck! Stop it, stop!!"

She forced her body to move, to walk on to her twin's side. She could see how battered A-Zhan's back already, how his blood flowed freely from his wounds and land several drops on the floor. A-Zhan, her sweet, precious A-Zhan, grunt in pain while he still holding tightly on his consciousness.

"That's enough! That's enough!" She scream. And with all her might, she pushed the senior disciple that had been tasked to do the whipping.

But the senior disciple didn't budge. Because the damning thing is, she went through the disciple and fall ungracefully on the floor.

This damn vision!

"Please stop this! I've seen enough!" She plead, hands gripping hard on her hair. "I've seen enough! So please, stop this!!"

But her plea went ignored, and the vision still continue. Until the last strike land on her brother's back, until her brother fell unconscious, and until they move her brother into the Jingshi where he would be placed on his future seclusion.
