My name is Afra, and I've had terrible luck with men. It seems that most of the few relationships I've had have ended up involving men on the Path of Elation.
Back when I was a teacher at an orphanage, I met a perfect man. He was handsome, kind, gentle, witty, and always warm and sincere with the children whenever he visited.
I knew then that he was the one for me in my next life.
So I pulled all sorts of strings, and finally managed to start dating him. Those days were so wonderful, it was as if all the happiness I would ever have for the rest of my life had been packed into that time before the planet's destruction.
But it didn't last. Later, I discovered that this man, like me, had two completely different sides to him. In fact, he was largely responsible for my planet ending up in such a state.
Afra: ...
So I took advantage of his mistaken belief that I was unaware of his hidden nature. I pretended to join his faction and asked him to teach me how to destroy my own planet. Once he'd completely let down his guard and thought I was one of the destruction faction, I gave him a spectacularly hard time and ran off.
Goodbye, my love. Once I've finished growing, I'll not only take your place as an Emanator of Destruction and Elation, I'll kill you too.
Years after breaking up with him, I met a guy named Sampo.
At first glance, he seemed timid and lecherous. His looks and physique were right up my alley, and he was one of the few old-school Fools left these days. Most importantly, he seemed worldly but was actually pure-hearted. Tease him too much and he'd blush. He was just so much fun to mess with~
Afra thought she might be able to start a second romance and forget the dark history of her past.
But as they spent more time together, she realized something was off about him too.
That mask of his... Why does it look so familiar?
Wait, you're saying that he acted timid around me and let me bully him for so long, but he's actually an Emanator of Elation?!
Well, damn... So my luck with men really is that terrible, huh?
I don't like men who lie to me. Goodbye.
When she arrived in Thousand Stars City, she saw the little boy she'd rescued all those years ago. He'd grown into a beautiful peacock of a man, chasing after her and sweet-talking her, calling her "big sister" at every turn.
But that's not the point. The point is... he's on the Path of Elation!
Come on, enough already. I'm scared of men on the Path of Elation now.
1: The heroine has an S-type personality and is on the Paths of Destruction and Elation. She's not exactly a good person, and she's very controlling in every way. Her views of the world are a little twisted. If that bothers you, run!
2: Guiji is already her ex-husband at the start. His storyline comes a little later, and there isn't much about him at the beginning. If you can't accept her getting a little flirty with Long Jie, run too!
3: This story assumes that, in the later Thousand Stars City arc, Aventurine gains the Path of Elation in addition to Preservation.
Theme: New life follows destruction
I see the navigator as the spokesperson for the battle royale [dog head holding rose]
Gui Mou: More than 80,000 years of walking with happiness, more than 20,000 years of walking with development, and more than 8,000 years of walking with destruction [dog head]
"She really wants to destroy the other party completely..." This is a big bug for the author~ He must be the King of Extermination
