On the day of the contest to choose the Five Poisons Sect’s leader, I gave up my right to compete and chose to wander the world instead. My master flew into a rage, shouting at me and calling me a hopeless case. In my previous life, I had put myself through poison trials to succeed as the Five Poisons Sect’s leader, all so I could create the deadliest poison in the world. But during the selection, the supreme golden silkworm Gu I had raised suddenly went berserk and bit me. Then it crawled meekly into the hands of my junior sister, my master’s favorite disciple. Without lifting a finger, she became the new leader of the Five Poisons Sect. I was branded a thief, despised by everyone and fair game for anyone to insult. I became the sect’s human guinea pig, forced to test poisons for everyone. All kinds of toxins ravaged my body, scorching my organs as if they were being fried in oil. In the end, unable to endure the torment, I took my own life. Before I closed my eyes, I couldn’t understand how the golden silkworm Gu I had carefully raised for three years could have obeyed my junior sister’s commands. When I woke again, I was back on the day of the contest to choose the Five Poisons Sect’s leader.
