The old King of Qi threw a palace banquet to show off his newly acquired beauty, Xia Yaoyao, inviting the high ministers and nobles to watch her dance.
Pei Shengxing, son of a senior minister, sat at the banquet and scoffed at the beauty's forthcoming dance, convinced that the State of Qi was beyond saving.
Xia Yaoyao's every step seemed to bring forth a lotus. With her jade-like figure, slender waist, red silk skirts, and sleeves sweeping through the clouds, she did everything perfectly, yet... she let a tear fall in Pei Shengxing's direction.
[II]
Thunder roared in the rain. In the quiet palace of Qi, a flash of cold light passed through the man's hand. His sword pierced the old King of Qi, spraying blood that stained half of Pei Shengxing's face and soaked his elegant robes.
Smiling tenderly, he seized Xia Yaoyao, who was trembling in a corner.

#### Preview of The Stepsister Is a Cross-Dressing Jellyfish Monster:
On the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, Ilalia remembered that she was the villainess in an otome game.
She was the heroine's stepsister, a weak, manipulative girl who envied and targeted the heroine. After a series of reckless moves, she would be executed by the prince, one of the heroine's suitors.
To stay alive, Ilalia started building a good relationship with her stepsister.
When her sister's dress didn't fit, Ilalia personally took her measurements for a new one, more attentive than anyone.
When her sister first entered the Imperial Capital's Magic Academy, Ilalia stayed by her side and defended her at every turn.
When her sister fell ill with a high fever, Ilalia cared for her tenderly, never leaving her side.
And that wasn't all. To deepen their sisterly bond, Ilalia would walk into her sister's bedroom each night with a pillow in her arms.
Looking delicate and pitiful, she would tug at her sister's sleeve and beg her to sleep together, snuggling into her sister's cool embrace.
Just like that, Ilalia and her stepsister, the heroine, really did grow closer and closer.
All she had to do next was wait for the heroine to get together with her love interest.
Once that happened, the game would end, and Ilalia wouldn't have to worry about the power of the plot anymore.
But Ilalia packed her bags and waited and waited, yet no news of her sister falling in love ever came.
One night, as they lay embracing each other again, Ilalia anxiously asked her sister if she had someone she was in love with.
Her stepsister's gaze grew shadowy as she lifted Ilalia's chin.
Cold lips pressed against hers, and Ilalia's eyes flew open in shock.
"You're so slow to catch on."
"I do this to you every night, and you never noticed." Her stepsister's voice was hoarse. The contours of a man's face emerged as moist jellyfish tentacles climbed and coiled around them.
Ilalia fainted from fright. When she opened her eyes, she found herself still in her stepsister's arms, and fainted again.
Oh no!
This wasn't a dream!
The heroine was supposed to be a girl, so how did she turn into a jellyfish monster?!

Theme: Break free of constraints, save each other, and create a better future
It's not a proof, but the logic is simply nonexistent. Why does the heroine have to return to Chu State? Did the heroine return to Chu without any support, or did she escape from Pei and come back ready to die? The marriage between the heroine and Pei also seems sudden. Is there really no way for the monarch of Chu to do anything...? Didn't Chu State defeat Qi State greatly? Although the new king is indecisive and useless, isn't the Queen Mother in charge...? Ah? The state of Chu is really a sieve, I'm speechless.
I think what happens after reunification is the focus. I wonder if I will write about it later. Also, the restoration of the country is indeed not good news for other countries. If the descendants of every destroyed dynasty wanted to restore the country, wouldn't the world be in chaos? However, it is understandable that the countries that were destroyed would feel hatred. When the First Emperor unified the Qin State, the other six countries slandered the First Emperor of Qin. People in the Han, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties slandered the First Emperor of Qin. However, it is only now that people have begun to rectify the name of the First Emperor of Qin. This shows that the dynasties are very different. The farther away you are, the more objectively you can evaluate a monarch. However, those who are close to Qin Shihuang's dynasty cannot be objective even if they want to. The hatred of the country and the family is there. I understand that what Qin Shihuang did may be a miracle in history, but it may not be possible to explain these clearly through hatred. I feel that currently, the male protagonist is in this situation, and what the male protagonist does is not understood by the world. In fact, during the pre-Qin period, Qin was not the only country that reformed to become stronger. The other six countries also reformed. It can only be said that God chose Qin to unify the world. It was an accident but also an inevitability.
Another day passed and they still hadn't spoken.
It's so pretty ヽ(*?з`*)?
Sprinkle flowers! ! ! Looking forward to the big new article! ! ! !
Sprinkle flowers! I feel a bit reluctant to give up. Minmin and Yaoyao will continue to be sweet!
Finished spreading flowers ~ Looking forward to the next novel. Yaoyao and Xiao Pei should always be happy!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha so cute
