I, the Life-Stealing Skin Painter, the Empress Begged Me to Change My Life

[Fantasy suspense + temple arena + multiple female protagonists + the mastermind behind the scenes] My name is Luo Li, the most mysterious skin painter in the ghost city of Shendu, and the most handsome man in the world. I have a unique skill, which is derived from the ancient opera techniques of "tying colors" and "drawing faces". I can "paint people's skin". This skin can not only change the appearance, but also give a person a specific "fate" and "role". Want to be an emperor for a day? I will draw the appearance of [Ziwei Emperor] for you, let you wear a dragon robe, and experience the kingship over the world. Cost? You live ten years. Want to make your sweetheart change his mind? I will draw you a [Peach Blossom Fairy] face to make him fascinated by you. Cost? One of your most precious memories. The most beautiful woman in the world thinks she is too beautiful and is in constant trouble? I painted [Tsing Yi]'s face to make her lose her sharp edge and become ordinary. And I, Luo Li, can use these facial masks to steal a piece of the other person's luck, a secret skill, and a piece of life. Until that day, the superior empress paid a private visit incognito and walked into my shop. What she wants is a face that can help her escape her fate and live for herself. I looked at the exhaustion and determination in her eyes and smiled. "Your Majesty, this 'human face' is easy to draw, but the 'human heart' is hard to describe. The transaction is possible, but the price this time... Is that I want you." From then on, I began to paint the skins of the top figures in the world. The court, the rivers and lakes, the sect... All the living beings in the world became my puppets.
