1 Her Death
On her wedding day, the man that she has given everything to, said to her, "You are just a disposal chess piece. Since you have no more use, you can disappear from this world." She looks at his eyes trying to find false but within there is only coldness, not even her shadow was reflecting in it. She can only tremble for her own foolishness and laugh out loud like a madman. She waited for him to kill her but to her surprise he didn't, he left her alive, giving her hope that what she saw that day was just a flicking nightmare.
Years later, he became a sovereign that everyone admires and look up to. The person standing beside him should've been her but instead, it was her step-sister. A woman who has nothing, to begin with, but with a close death call, she changes from a person with nothing into a phoenix that soars the sky with him. While she who give up everything for him is just one of the people on the sideline.
Inside a dark room, a woman was hanging from chains. You can see that she was once a beautiful woman from the contour of her face but this face of hers is now blind. Her skin that was as white as snow is rotting away. Her once beautiful appearance is disheveledly making her seem uglier than a normal person. She is just half a mile away from her own doom but even if she wants to die, she can't. The chains that bind her, bind her soul keeping her on her last breath.
Steps echo in the dark room where she lays. Each step is loud and clear as it came closer towards her. "How are you hanging on, Bai Yuan."
With a sharp tone Bai Yuan answer, "I'm living better than what you would want, Bai Zhilan."
"You see, He wants to keep you alive but to me having you dead is better than having you alive. That's why, why don't you do a play a little game with me," saying so she fed Bai Yuan a pill. This pill will make her live even without the chains to bind her but she would just be a puppet.
Bai Zhilan screams attracted his attention making him, who was waiting for her to rush out and see something shocking. Bai Yuan was holding the sword he gives to Bai Zhilan near her (BZ) chest while Bai Zhilan was on the ground covered with wounds. Her white dress was drench with blood and her hair was disheveled while she has an appearance of a little rabbit being hunted. Her condition made him go insane when she (BY) was only a step away from thrusting the sword into her(BZ) chest. He quickly deflected the sword from his loved one and with a swish of his sleeve, he sent Bai Yuan flying.
Bai Yuan finally woke up from the puppet spell without the puppeteer control, even without her eyes she can felt killing instinct towards her. Feeling that it was him, she tries to explain the situation but all the words she wants to say feel like it was stuck in her throat. She can only hold her head up high bracing herself for his harsh words.
After checking and sending spiritual energy into Bai Zhilan, he finally look at her but he didn't feel anything towards her, only disgust and hatred. "On our wedding day, you should remember the words I've said to you. ...If you don't, let me repeat them, 'You are just a disposable chess piece. Since you have no more use you can disappear from this world.' I have never loved you even if it's now, before, or in the future, so stop dreaming."
From his sharp and flat tones, even the way he has never care about her, she finally knew why he kept her alive. He has given her a chance to get out of his life but she wasn't willing. He then makes use of her again and again so that Bai Zhilan can have a smooth road ahead of her. Every action and every word he said was for Bai Zhilan and never for her. She was just a stepping stone so that they can have a smooth life ahead of them.
She laughs at her own foolishness and own desire. Her laugh echoes all across the room, her body tremble as she fell down on her knees. Everything she has done wasn't for him and her but for him and Bai Zhilan. With the sword in her hand, she aimed it at the shameless couple.
"Even if I die today, let me ask you why did you marry me? Is it to make me suffer? ...My whole family support you so you could get the throne! I suffer the empress's wrath after I married you, for you aren't the empress's favorite son. I help convince the grand empress dowager to help support you even if it might kneeling in front of her courtyard for months. My child didn't even have a chance to step into the world just because you heard rumors that our child would bring disaster to you. Believing your every word and wanting the best for you, I aborted my child while being conscious of everything. When you are weakened I was the only one to stay by your side and support you. Even when everyone said you killed your own brother and didn't believe you, I believed in you. I plead to the emperor to spare you even if I have to go through torture to get him to spare you. Is all the things I've done for nothing. Do you have no conscious?!" Bai Yuan's words hold all her suffering inside but to him, it sounds like a woman whining about nonsense.
He only carries Bai Zhilan in his arms saying only a few fleeting words, "You should be happy I KEPT you alive, to repay everything you have done. Even without your help, Zhen would still be Zhen."
She snorted with tear droplets on her eyes, " 'Keeping me alive to repay me?' You mean keeping me alive to torture me. Have you ever thought about me... even if it's a little?"
Two giggling sounded next to her. Hearing those two voices she knew it was her two sisters but they and her whole family were supposed to have died.
"Looking at your confusing face, Bangong guess you want to know." the voice of a female sounded next to her ear.
"Stop teasing her, sister. Bai Yuan, the whole family hasn't die, just that every household chooses you as a sacrifice to ensure that the Bai clan survive. You shouldn't feel bad, everyone contributed too by throwing all their love at you. ...Let me tell you, I have always been jealous of you but thinking about it now... my life is better than yours. We even receive his passion that you never got," another female voice expressed.
She realizes too late, all her life everything was a plot from her clan. She came to be interested in him because of all the good things she heard. She felt even more attracted to him when she sneaks out of the house with her sisters to play and he saved her from kidnappers. From then on when she spotted him she came to like him more and more. But her love for him, to him and her family, was a joke. For him, it's so he can get the throne and for her family, it's so they can rise up the ladder. Even if she died, there are many daughters in the clan that can be the sacrifice.
"Hahaha! You two received his passion but not his love. Zhilan hold his love but she will never be his only wife. While I got to be his first wife but got nothing. Hehehe! So ironic!" Bai Yuan burst into laughter, holding in her anger.
He look at her in annoyance, weaving his hand and with a more severe tone, " Enough is enough! Zhen thinks Zhen have already paid what is supposed to be paid." Saying so he throws a sword to her side.
Feeling a sharpness poking her fingertip, Bai Yuan touches the thing only to see that it was the same sword that he has gifted her. This sword was the only gift he has given her and now this sword will bring her, her death. Clinching her hands into fists, she makes her absolute decide 'she refuses to die like this.' But to Bai Zhilan's eyes, she (BY) has made the decision to rebel, without waiting for her to say anything Bai Zhilan control her again using the puppet spell.
Feeling her hand freeing itself and grabbing the sword, she tries to stop it at all cost. But without her cultivation, her strength was like a baby in front of Bai Zhilan, making her easy to manipulate. Trembling, she aims the sword towards her chest and thrust it in.
"Wuyou, you won't blame me, right?" Bai Zhilan turns towards him with a worried appearance.
His cold face warms up looking at her, caressing her hair, he gently said, "Why would I blame you Zhilan." Looking down his eyes turn freezing, " Who would ever love a monster."
Her consciousness fades out remembering his last words. When she came to, she saw Bai Zhilan looking at her with a smile on her lips. "Do you think I'll let you die so easily? Even if you die no one can guarantee that you wouldn't come back. Destroying every last bit of you would be my final present for you." Saying so Bai Zhilan seizes her (BY) souls and let her watch as her body was feed to demonic beasts and her bones for pill refinding. Letting her soul see them making love and being passionate with each other then Bai Zhilan uses her qi to shatter her (BY) soul leaving nothing behind.
For all the suffering she has endured, if there's even an afterlife she vows to make everyone pay a debt of blood with blood. She promises to never love him or trust anyone again.
