Keluo Lisi received an answer from God when she was thirteen.
To escape her beast of a father, she sacrificed her right eye to God, prayed every day, and vowed to remain chaste for Him.
From then on, Keluo Lisi, who could hear God's revelations, became the kingdom's only prophet.
Gradually, Keluo Lisi realized that God was a bastard.
He liked watching her kneel in the mud and beg, and even pushed her deeper into the mire with His own hands.
But God did not know that the wild rose in His grasp was vile and spoiled. To survive, she would dare to do anything.
Including using Him, then betraying Him.
-
As Keluo Lisi's fame grew, the Church persecuted and imprisoned her.
She knew this was another one of God's tricks.
This time, Keluo Lisi did not beg or pray.
Instead, she set her sights on A Si Te Li Ke Si, the newly adult heir of the De Lei Wen Nuo family.
When he came to the monastery to pray for his family, she lifted her skirt and sat on the statue of God, her pale legs dangling and swinging in the air.
A Si Te Li Ke Si dared not look directly at her and warned her that she was committing blasphemy.
Keluo Lisi twirled a lock of hair around her fingertip, her bright eyes like stars.
"A Si Te, you've never seen God. How do you know He must be exalted, majestic, and judgmental?"
"What if He's spoiled, willful, and unreasonable, just like me?"
The rose-patterned stained-glass windows broke the sunlight into pieces, scattering a dazzling, dreamlike glow over her.
A Si Te Li Ke Si could swear that this was the closest he had ever come to God.
-
A Si Te betrayed his faith.
After who knew how many times he and Keluo Lisi had broken their vows in the church, he buried his head in her golden hair.
"Keluo Li, I can hardly believe I've betrayed my Lord so many times."
Keluo Lisi wrapped her arms around his neck and brushed her lips against his Adam's apple. "Do you regret it?"
"That's the most terrifying part." A Si Te trembled, his voice hoarse. "For you, I never regret it."
Keluo Lisi let out a coquettish laugh as she watched the statue's eyes slowly open.
She leaned close to A Si Te's ear, her voice as light as a feather.
"Then can you kill Him?"
"For me."
She was a miracle descended upon the mortal world, her beauty rivaling the sun and moon.
No one could resist Keluo Lisi, even knowing she was a vile, spoiled rose stained with blood.
Not even the gods.
Not even the king.
