An unfortunate misunderstanding led her to kill the person she loved, and cost her her own life.
When she woke again, everything had changed, but the butterfly-shaped birthmark on her right shoulder remained. Was it connected to her past and present lives? Did it hold the fate of the world?
The world falls, the stars and frost shift, the Butterfly Master appears. Who can stand against her!
One prophecy drove the world into a frenzy. Could a prediction made a century ago come true? Was the Butterfly Master a savior who would rescue all living beings, or a butcher who would destroy them?
Cool and proud, peerlessly elegant, “he” possessed unrivaled medical skills and could heal as easily as he could kill.
Calm, cunning, and wise, she debated with the mightiest of them all, her silver tongue killing without a trace.
Scene One:
At the palace banquet, everyone wanted to see her make a fool of herself and bring her down.
“My daughter-in-law is exceptionally talented. Why don't you two perform together, playing and singing at the same time?”
“Her Majesty the Empress is amazing! She can host guests in the front hall and cook in the kitchen, better than any chef!”
“Her Majesty has been favored all her life and has her husband all to herself. We envy her, though we wouldn't dare hope for the same!”
One person tried to make things difficult for her, another mocked her, and a third accused her of wrongdoing.
She remained perfectly calm and answered every accusation with a few words: “I am the mother of the nation. How could I do anything that would disgrace the royal family? The emperor and I love one another, and if he likes it, naturally I will do it. His Majesty bestowed his favor upon me. If I were to refuse, would that not be disobedience to the emperor's decree?”
Everyone was stunned, but then the emperor burst out laughing.
“Hahaha! Impressive indeed. You truly are... my wife!”
Scene Two:
The Butterfly Master appeared before martial artists from every faction and members of the imperial family, calm, confident, and proud.
Everyone argued back and forth, all for the sake of power and possession.
But he was willing to do anything for her. “I'll clean up any mess you can't handle! If you want to bring down the world, I'll help! If you want someone dead, I'll kill them!”
“No. We'll make a mess together, bring down the world together, and you can do the killing!” She remained calm, then added, “My needles can heal people, but they can also kill without a trace!”
As everyone fought and killed for the prize, she stayed calm, her arrogant words sending a chill through them.
“I am who I am. Anyone who tries to claim me will be killed and wiped out!”
Her words silenced the crowd, but one man spoke just as arrogantly.
“You're mine. Anyone who tries to take you will have their entire family wiped out!”
Their conversation reached everyone's ears, sending chills down their backs. The Butterfly Master had returned. Was she a savior, or a butcher?
