Lin Chen checks the lottery numbers over and over, his heart pounding.
He has won a full hundred million. Too excited to sleep all night, he waits for dawn so he can claim his prize.

Lin Chen panics. “I’m the emperor! I’m the Son of Heaven. Who would dare slash me?!”
No sooner has he said this than his personal eunuch kneels before him, holding out a treasured sword:
“Your Majesty, the Regent sent me to ask: would you like to slit your throat today?”
