Like a Burning Fire

Si Yu died of an illness and lived within a scheme.

The System gave her a new life, and a cage as well. Four kingdoms formed the board, all living beings were its pieces, and she was the one piece that didn't fit.

Fortunately, she had her older sister, Si Zhen. The master of the Wanxiang Pavilion wielded immense wealth as armor and tender affection as a blade, carving out a place for her in the world.

And so, all the world saw:

The lovesick prince moved the pieces for her, wagering his whole life;

The dying hostage took up his sword for her, staining his white robes with blood;

The lord of the grasslands bowed his head to her, offering his mountains and rivers.

She smiled as they gave up everything and raised her to the highest heights.

No one knew that the System's cold final words from that day still echoed in her mind:

[Your very existence is an error.]

Then let me be wrong to the very end.

Since you have granted me the clouds, I shall use them to overturn the world below.
