'See Bing Shi? Soulmates have their bad endings too. It's part of the soul's growth.'

Xuan Mu walked towards the dead Su Luqin. It started the night when he took her away from the hospital and called Quin Yu to pick them up. He got jealous of why his wife would be so interested in a woman that took fancy in carrying aphrodisiacs around. There was no way he would keep Su Luqin in his house. He planned on avoiding the male lead for a time being. To hide her from Mo Luwei, he left her in Quin Yu's care.

Before Quin Yu got too serious with Aoi Hong, he refused to accept his feelings and would sometimes go have a few flings with other women. But, because all he could see was Aoi Hong, he wasn't able to get hard with other women unless he got slightly drunk— he put all the blame on the ugly duckling Aoi Hong, who angered him so many times!

The women who signed a contract with Quin Yu would always have to take the anti-baby pill after each deed in front of his eyes. However, on 'that' night, Su Luqin was totally wasted so Quin Yu forced the pill down her throat.

Behind everyone's radar, Bing Shi nullified the effect with a baby pill from the system store. This was a seemingly harmless action to test if Su Luqin would change for the better and if it would be enough to separate Quin Yu from Aoi Hong peacefully... but she failed the test.

No casualties would have been made if Su Luqin didn't look for death by provoking Aoi Hong. Bing Shi got a female lead role out of it though so it was fine for her either way.

If someone didn't get why Bing Shi continued to be stone-focused on Su Luqin, it should be clear now. Su Luqin had a premature birth. Her poor health wasn't in the right state to give birth safely. The baby didn't survive. Her mental state worsened. Su Luqin strongly believed that her child got taken away, because to her, a dead baby equalled no future.

Who said people who get out of prison were less trustful? Everything Bing Shi said, Su Luqin bought it all without a doubt.

"I want her alive and locked up in my torture chamber," Quin Yu spewed out coldly as he left the aisle. He was going to torture that woman until her body had no flesh or bone left to speak of.

Xuan Mu made way for the man who carried a dead girl in his arms.

Just like the last world, Xuan Mu looked up at the sky. To him, the colours, the smell, the mood, everything was the same except... there was nobody to hold onto.

No matter how much he pretended, the internal bleeding was all the same. His pain was unchanging.

His lifeless heart was rippled, and in that blessed moment, he felt her spirit in little droplets, returning over and over to him like an aquatic heartbeat.

Ah, his wife's benevolence knew no boundaries. Pointing the gun at the approaching people, Xuan Mu looked down and picked up Su Luqin before anyone else could and began carrying her to the crematory. Did this count as mending?

The surprised soul followed the man who just killed her, silently wondering, 'Why?'

'Woman, if you knew it was because my wife didn't give up on pushing the mafia boss against her own husband by helping Aoi Hong's killer, you would never ask why.' The corner of Xuan Mu's lips lifted into a half-smile, answering everyone's questions with one sentence, "To feed her to my wife."

(Xuan Mu spoke to himself that he saved Su Luqin's dignity not because he felt something towards her but because of his wife. And it was better not to ask why, because Su Luqin would only end up disappointed.)

When he saw how each and every person backed out except the willing soul, he held back the urge to laugh out loud. Now, what was needed was to make everyone believe that Silika was a monster called Pikachu.

Xuan Mu wondered: would society finally appreciate the people who worked hard to protect it? Witnessing the happenings around the world, he didn't feel like mending anything yet.

Bing Shi reached another goal.

Her extinguishing waves scrambled at the shoreline as swift and unforgiving as an axe, taking down anything and everyone in its path. It had no emotion, no thought, no hesitation. It just came, granting a few seconds to enjoy breathing the ocean air before it wrapped each victim in frigid foamy fingers to the ocean floor.

She brought in the chaos slowly, responsibly, so one could savour the chaotic taste at a leisure pace.

At the cost of two lives, Quin Yu and Aoi Hong's families stormed into an endless war. Blaming each other for the poor safety measures; Aoi Hong's death; Quin Yu's infidelity; Quin Yu neglecting and killing his own heir, and Quin Yu becoming conflicted between the two women.

All of that soon resulted in Quin Yu's empire's early collapse.

What took positive cultures centuries to evolve was ruined in mere moments.

Xuan Mu avoided Quin Yu's revenge.

Binfinity was safe.

That company was created to represent Xue Bi's and Lu Kai's legacy, and there was no way he would let it collapse. Would its destruction resurrect his wife? No. Would it affect her soul? No. But it would affect her spirit... maybe. If it got destroyed, she would be very sad.

Mo Luwei, who tried to get access to a certain someone's ward, frowned when the armed forces saw him as a threat. He received a bigger surprise when Silika Lin's husband was denied access too. Not just that, but the biggest surprise Mo Luwei felt, was when Su Min had a pass.

Silika Lin's security was high, like that of a president. She was one of the most protected people in the world with over fifteen thousand bodyguards; just a few hundred less than this world's pope; she also had a dedicated security unit that collected info on perceived threats, while her medical care received attention from the greatest experts. It wasn't even her nor her husband who had their hands in it. (If the number shocked you then just know that there are some people on Earth who have a similar number of 'guards'.)

That was how important of a figure she became. The people in the world were suffocating in the muds, and she was among the few leaders that 'survived' the sudden wave of assassination attempts. She had to be saved at all costs. There were many theories about all the assassination attempts on other leaders, but nobody could explain her case. The room was full of her fresh blood, but there was no sign of blood loss! What witchcraft or godsend miracle was that?!

Xuan Mu rolled up his drenched sleeves as he got denied access to Silika Lin because he asked them to give her a simple rest in peace.

It was like Bing Shi didn't have enough. Her ghost kept on hunting. With a halo above her delicate pair of horns, she gave out free euthanasia. Some earned it in the worst way possible but he thought they got a death that was far too quick for his liking; far too kind for what they have done.

To uproot the power structure of this world, Bing Shi had to dethrone many 'elites'. Such things would be impossible to accomplish without damaging the economy and many innocent people.

Mo Luwei walked up to the monochromatic man, whose blue eyes were the only color added to his overall appearance. It was as if his ocean eyes carried his wife's spirit, for she was the only thing they reflected. Why did they always spare him? Silika Lin adored her fans. Mo Luwei's existence was saved by Su Min without the man himself realizing, "My son, Ying X..."

"My son." Xuan Mu thought about how to pass through the thick armor of human flesh without cheating; he didn't have much energy left to waste. He wanted to spare stinky bun from crying after his mommy but it seemed like tough times called for equally tough measures. The imprisoned soul escaped his clutches and flew into its previous body.
