Everything below happened during Bing Shi's first lifetime
╚═══════════════════╝
° Her first lifetime...
° Seated behind the desk, a middle-aged man looked at the young girl before him.
° Around twenty-three years old, wearing a blue tunic secured by a belt, it showed her status as a slave. Her long, weak hair was tied up in a low ponytail, showing off her dull complexion, which was oddly familiar to Bing Shi's.
° Putting a pouch filled with gold ingots on the table, he ordered, "Protect my daughter at all cost and help her gain his attention. Don't you dare covet his majesty for yourself. If you dare speak about this to someone..."
° He took out a slave contract and wrote down his order with her fresh blood, "Forget about seeing the light of the sun ever again."
° Standing straight, the slave girl tilted down her head.
° Ting Zi hid the pouch inside her chest pocket, "Yes, master."

° Since the new emperor took control of the reign, he continued to lead his army to war against other kingdoms personally. Starting out as a slave, he grew to be one of the most powerful warlords in the nation.
° The council almost went crazy when they got to know that their young emperor armed himself as a common soldier and threw himself into the thick of the fray. At least leave behind an heir before jumping into death!
° Instead of marching into an unwinnable war, kingdoms started to offer their princesses as a tribute.
° Among them was Bai Meili, an astonishingly beautiful princess of many talents.
° Only when problems occurred, would this man return and fulfill his duties and obligations as an emperor.

° Stars filled the sky like shining pearls, accompanying the heart-wrenching sound of the Erhu. The music caught the attention of nearby people, one of whom was the current emperor, who just returned from his expedition.
° As if pulling at his heartstrings, the sound lured him into Bai Meili's courtyard. Sitting on a large stone near the fish pond, her tune was like a choreography for the fireflies to dance in this more than ordinary night.
° Sensing someone's presence, Bai Meili turned around. Seeing the dragon's robe, she quickly stood up and bowed in courtesy, "Your Majesty."
° The man walked toward the young maiden in steady steps, "Do you miss your homeland?"
° He studied the girl before him. Around seventeen years old, Bai Meili's features could be defined as enticing.
° Bai Meili hid her shock behind a nostalgic smile, "Though I miss it dearly, this lowly consort is more than happy to be here and be a company to your majesty."
° He raised an eyebrow at how quickly she recollected herself, "What's your name?"
° "This lowly consort's name is Bai Meili," Bai Meili lifted her gaze to get a closer look at the attractive man in his mid-twenties. The slight curve of his lips completed his impenetrable sharp eyes with dark circles under them, enhancing his grim look.
° "Bai Meili, continue playing for us," he ordered in amusement, playing along with her act. He never used honorifics to refer to himself as 'we, us'. As a former slave and revolutionist, he didn't care about such superficial things at all.
