Born in a coffin, possessed of tremendous strength, and orphaned...
Great, those are decent conditions. Chu Chaosheng, who came from the apocalypse, was quite pleased. At least she wouldn’t have to worry about being recognized as a monster and sent to the stake.
Cowardly, timid, selfish, and notorious... Heh, sorry, that was the original owner!
Chu Chaosheng refused to take the blame for that!
Life is full of strange people and bizarre incidents, with one outrageous character after another turning up. Court politics and schemes among the great families had nothing to do with her, but some people insisted on courting death.
All she wanted was to cherish the present and live a peaceful life until she died of old age. If they wouldn’t let her fulfill such a simple wish, then she had no reason to hold back... Chu Chaosheng clenched her fists and laughed. She believed in just one truth: life is short, so if you’ve got a problem, fight!
If they wouldn’t let her live comfortably, then no one would get to live comfortably!
She would investigate her origins and claim an inheritance. Once her already formidable strength was further enhanced, those outrageous nuisances would be in for trouble.
Establish a household in her own name and turn beans into soldiers, she’d put every rebel in their place!
Her white-lotus stepsister said, “Chaosheng... It’s not that I don’t want to go with you. I’m only afraid I’ll be a burden, so please don’t overthink it. Father is dead, and you’re my only family now. You don’t know how to handle household affairs, and your health is always up and down. Why not let Grandmother and our uncles manage the family’s fields and property? That way, you won’t have to lift a finger or worry about anything. I’ll keep an eye on them and make sure the old house doesn’t take advantage of you. What do you think?”
Oh, absolutely... What a load of crap!
Did she really think that living with the Chu family for a few years made her one of them? Their father had only just died, and she was already trying to take what belonged to Chu Chaosheng. She’d better make sure she had the right. Since this stepsister didn’t consider herself one of their family, Chu Chaosheng wouldn’t bother being polite. She slapped a deed down on the table. “Since when does a Lou family girl get to meddle in Chu family affairs? What a joke!”
Her unscrupulous grandmother said, “Child, the Lin family is offering ten taels as a bride price to marry you off. You’ll have plenty of good food and drink, and you won’t even have to serve your husband. What a wonderful arrangement! Just say yes. You’ve got nothing to lose!”
Chu Chaosheng said, “Heh... Nothing to lose? Why don’t you marry him yourself!”
Beneath the red full moon stood a man dressed in white, aloof and handsome, with an air of icy nobility. He blinked in confusion and kept murmuring, “Who am I? Where am I?”
Chu Chaosheng stood with her blade in hand, drenched in blood from the waist down. At his words, she suddenly smiled. “You’re on my turf, Chu Chaosheng’s territory, so you’re my slave. From today onward, your name is Wangchen!”
On General Mountain, beside the General’s Tomb, Chu Chaosheng leaned against the mound and admired the scenery, laughing as she reveled in the mortal world and outshone all beneath heaven.
Everyone fled from this fierce woman, yet one man climbed up from the foot of the mountain, undeterred by a thousand dangers and ten thousand hardships. He carved a blood-soaked path through the brambles, offering her a prosperous age as his betrothal gift and protecting her so she could live in peace for the rest of her life!
