'Kill her', is Gu Jiacheng 2.0's answer. Brief yet concise. As a reaction to this statement, a slender man steps forward. He seems to be part of this group: he's dressed the same way, but the colour he wears somehow makes him stand out. It's deep purple. It complements his dark eyes and long, black hair. The dark aura he exuberates, sends shivers down your spine. Even the way he moves is frightening. 'You should not kill her', he says calmly. Contrary to your expectations, the person has a soft voice. 'That girl is one of my dancing girls. Has always been the naughty one. I'll take care of the punishment. She is my responsibility after all', is the next thing you hear. Going in against the "Emperor"; that man sure has courage, you think by yourself. ___________________________________________________________________ Disclaimer: This book is based on "Oh! My Emperor" (a Chinese drama). I do not own any of the content. As a writer , I'm aiming to develop both the characters and the story more. An alternative ending is included. Nonetheless, this is an open FF. So no, you don't have to know the original drama and/or XNINE. The credits go to all the original writers. I only decided to create this as an hommage to the series (I heavily recommend watching it). No copyright infringement intended.
