Liu Mingmei was the daughter of the minister steward, Liu Ming. Some said that her face was full of white powder and make-up. If one could describe her, she was like a hanged ghost. Her fashion sense was unique in a bad way. Sometimes, her robes were full of glittering beads that made herself looks like a walking Christmas lights. Sometimes he wore different colors of flowers that she herself looks like a walking garden. Accompanying by her hanged ghost face, she was almost looks like a clown.

However, no one dared to tell her about the their thoughts. Because if they do, one could tell that they will not survive until the second dawn. Liu Ming adored and pampered her daughter so much that she grew up in such a spoiled little brat. She didn't experienced getting scolded by her father nor getting hurt by him. Her mom also did the same and raised her child in a bad way.

Her parents gave what she wanted. Either it was a dress, a make-up, or anything that attracts her attention, her parents give it all. And if she didn't get what she wanted, she will throw a tantrum towards her parents until she gets it.

Originally, Mingmei only had an average face. She cannot compete with the women who were born in the same village as hers. She doesn't get it. Her mother was beautiful and her father was handsome, yet why did she ended up in such an ordinary face? Every time she saw women who were much more 'beautiful' than her, she always bullied them and finding a way to get rid of them. She was insecure and furious with their faces and wished her face was much more better than them. But it was just a dream that she couldn't grasp no matter what she does.

That's why, she thought that she will become more beautiful if she will wear make-up and sparkling clothes. If she did this, more men will look at her and wanted to pursue her. She looked smugly at herself in the mirror and put up a make-up at her face.

For herself, she sees himself dazzling after she saw her reflection in the mirror. But in reality, she looks like a tortured ghost. The author doesn't know if she was blind or she was dumb. Or maybe, she was just delusional. But anyway, she was proud about her masterpiece. And also, she was determined that all men would pursue her.

Author: Bitch please! ꒰╬•᷅д•᷄╬꒱

However, when her father wanted her to marry the General, she was beyond furious that she wanted to run away. In her perspective, the General was an old man with a beard. No one ever saw the General since the General barely announced his name that easily in public. He was famous, but there were circling rumors that the General was an old man. The General heard this and snorted, he doesn't care about that stupid rumors because he was going to use this as an advantage to let that ugly girl prevents from going inside that manor. The General hated the Liu family, especially the scheming Minister Liu.

The General only used a different name when going outside the manor and having fun or going in the brothel to pleasure himself. The people who only knew him are Minister Liu and other Ministers in the palace, the Emperor, his brother, his past concubines, and his fiancé now which is the most beautiful man that the General had ever seen, Li Jie.

One day when her father throw a tantrum inside his office, Mingmei was nervous of going inside, but he knew this was the right way to convince his father, he pushed his fear and told her father that she doesn't want to marry the General. Alas, his father agreed since the General released an edict that he doesn't want to accept any concubines. He released the news that he only wants his wife now, which was the person Liu Ming had sent into the manor. Liu Ming regretted his decision and scolded himself about his emotions. Now, he can't refute since the General-in-chief was higher than him. If only he wasn't stupid, he could have grasped the General's side now.

Mingmei was beyond happy that her smile ripped his face that it reached to his ears. Her worries about marrying an old man was finally dissipated. She then walked out of the office with a huge grin plastered on his face that looks like a ghost.

But one day, when she was wandering around the market, she saw the most beautiful and handsome man she have seen. Her heart was fluttering and her heart keeps beating rashly.

Author: Eww bitch go away! (҂⌣̀_⌣́)

She was eyeing on the man in the market and asked his servant who was that man that was carrying a basket full of ingredients. The servant looks at the direction to where his lady pointed and saw the General. The servant was shocked. He knew that man for he always sees him when he goes out of the Liu's manor to do errands. He bowed at his master and answered.

"His name is Feng Delun. The General of Qin."

Mingmei was shocked. She didn't know that the General was not an old man but a handsome young man. Mingmei was happy but was taken aback when she saw a beautiful 'lady' beside him. Mingmei doesn't know that Li Jie is a man and thought 'he' was a woman. Mingmei then looked at his beautiful face. She was furious that the General was so close to 'her'. But she was more angered when the General smiled at Li Jie and wiped Li Jie's tears with his thumb, cupping Li Jie's face.

That man was hers and no one else. I should be the one marrying him and no one else. She looked at Li Jie, then imagining his face being wounded by her. How she felt wonderful if that happens.

She was also determined that she could seduce the General with her beauty. If he saw her, maybe the General would take a good look at her and marry her. And that was her long time delusion.

She hurried her way home and looked for her father. Her father was inside his office and was hectic about the situation. He was furious and angry. Angry that he could not grasp him and furious because his plan of murdering Li Jie failed.

She had asked her father about marrying the General. And now, the more she speak, the more her father was angry with her.

"You protested that you don't want to marry the General and here you are pestering me again! You can't marry the General because he released an edict that he will going to marry his 'wife'! He will not take any concubines anymore! If you just listened to me than to keep powdering your ugly face, you could have taken that commoner's position! Now, before you can see my rage, GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!"

Mingmei was hurt and and immediately went outside. Her tears of rage flowed from her cheeks and cursed that 'lady' to her soul. How could 'she' steal her man away from her? 'She' was just a lowly commoner.

Her fury was up to the next level and she smashed everything that her hand grasped inside her room. She wanted that commoner to die. She wanted Li Jie to suffer and cry in agony. She wanted to torture him. Because of her unruly personality, she will going to fulfill her thoughts.

"She was just a commoner. It's okay for 'her' to die right?" She laughed like a witch. She couldn't help but to feel excited about his plan. If Li Jie dies, then the General can marry her.

Mingmei secretly ordered her five servants to hunt a specific person. She only knew that commoner's name recently and she knew that Li Jie is from the Chen household. The five servants bowed and kneeled at her. She then took five pouches of gold and throw it to them individually.

"Find the person named Chen Li Jie and kill 'her'. 'She' lived in the Chen household not far from here. Torture 'her' till 'she dies'." She ordered as the servants nodded and finally went their way.

"Delun is mine." She said as her face looks even more twisted than before.

********

Delun went home with his brother Min Zhe in the Feng manor. Min Zhe was still on duty and was accompanying him since he was going to their house.

After the cold and wintery dinner, everything was awfully quiet and no one wanted to oppose. Well, they wanted to. Howbeit their younger brother wanted to marry him so the older brothers really can't do anything. Still, they were against it. They feared that the General was going to hurt their brother when the time comes. But if that happens, they wouldn't let that General go. Even if he is the General, they wouldn't hesitate to kill him if he did something wrong.

After the very morning, his brothers went off to their work. His brother Jiang and Li Jie were the only ones left in the household and was preparing for the upcoming wedding. Jiang Hua went to the Capital to buy a red wedding hanfu for his brother so Li Jie was the only one left inside. It was dusk and he patiently waited for his brother to come home.

He was cooking in the kitchen and was sensing that he was not alone in the manor. He could tell, there were different shadows lurking around the corner.

'Troublemakers.' Li Jie thought and grabbed a kitchen knife. He was pretending that he was chopping vegetables and his eyes were twitching left to right as he guarded himself from behind.

As expected, five people with different knives dashed right through him. Their eyes were bloodshot yet Li Jie's eyes were calm as a peaceful forest. He dodged their attacks smoothly, just like a leaf swaying in the wind. He jumped in the air and killed them one by one. He then plunged his kitchen knife straight to their necks. Four people died in the spot and he left the other one suffer from his arms.

The whole kitchen is a mess. Blood was splatdash in the kitchen floor and lifeless bodies were laying on the ground.

He grabbed the head of the servant whom he kept alive and was shaking on his knees. The servant was full of wounds and he doesn't have energy left.

"Say. Who erdered you to kill me?" The beautiful man with a gentle smile asked. He was a perfect explanation of a yandere. His smile creeper out the servant and the servant's tears slowly dripping down from fear.

He wanted to escape. He wanted to leave. He doesn't want to die. So, he can only tell this beautiful man the truth and will flee from this place for the rest of his life.

"L-Lady Mingmei of the Liu household. She asked us to kill you and she gave us a pouch of gold. Please! I don't want to die! Spare me!" The servant pleaded and Li Jie looked at him with disgust.

'Aiyaa! Every now and then people were the same. Well, he told me the truth. At least I could free him. I'm not that cruel.'

"Since I still have morality left, I decided to let you go. But, only if you could keep this as a secret, then I can let you go." Li Jie said as the servant vigorously nodded his head. But, the servant was amazed by this man's strength despite of his small and petite body. If one could look at him, there would be doubts that he can kill a person. He admired his strength that he wanted to be his disciple. Hence he really did do it. He wanted to be with him and learn. He doesn't want to live being a servant for his whole life. Being a servant is not his dream. He wanted to be a soldier.

"Master! Teach me how to fight!" The servant said resulting Li Jie's mouth left hanged open.

'Dude, you're not even afraid? Are you an M?'

"You're not kidding are you?"

"No master! I want to be your disciple!" The servant kneeled and bowed his head till his hair reached the floor. Li Jie was startled but deep inside he was quite happy that he had a disciple. In his past life, he really wanted to teach someone about the things he liked. And it is hard to tell, but Li Jie's dream was supposed to be a teacher.

He was inspired by those people who taught him these things. And decided that he wanted to be a teacher or a professor. He maybe become a chemistry teacher or a medical professor.

But that was just a dream that he couldn't grasp. Who would want to hire a person with a bad record? It only existed in movies.

But now, maybe he can teach this servant. After all, this servant was still young and carefree. This boy, whom he thought had an age of 14, will turn into a fine soldier in the future.

"Fine. I really wanted a disciple and I think you will pass. But you cannot betray me."

"I will not master! It is a promise to my heart and soul, I will be loyal to you." He kept kneeling and bowing which makes Li Jie flattered.

'This kid.'

Li Jie smiled and turned around to the four corpses. He cut off their heads and placed it in the sack. The servant was shocked seeing such a gory scene, but for a servant who always witnessed this on the Liu's, he wasn't get sick about it. Li Jie nodded in satisfaction and said to him.

"If my brother comes home, pretend to be me and say that you can't be occupied for now. Tell him that you will adjust yourself for the meantime and make sure to close the door. And also, clean the kitchen and burn this bodies somewhere far from here. My brother will not come home early this night so you still have a chance. There's a gas behind the house. Use it and burn it immediately. And, wipe the floor until no blood remains. Understood?"

"Yes master!"

The servant did his job and Li Jie changed his robe and wore a black clothes again. He wrapped his body and only his heterochromia eyes were shown. He was wearing an eye patch when he talked to the servant hence the servant doesn't know his other eye color. Now, it seems like he was a different person. He was carrying a sack wand a letter he wrote back then when he was still in the household. He then head towards the Liu's and make a surprise.

'Bitch, you've messed with the wrong person.'

************

On Mingmei's room, she was powdering her face and putting make-up when a sudden thud echoed outside of her window.

She put his things aside and walked towards where the notice sounded. As she opened the window, four human heads were hanging on her window making her shrieked in fear and nervousness. She was sure, this was the servants she ordered to kill the 'lady'.

Minister Liu heard the noise and went to his daughter's room immediately together with the guards. Then they were flabbergasted and afraid of the gory scene in front of them.

Lady Mingmei fainted on the floor after she vomited, she didn't even bother to read the letter that was hanging in one of the heads.

Minister Liu took the courage to walk towards the heads and took the piece of letter. He then opened it and read it.

'Next time you planned to kill me, don't bring such weak ants just like this four pests. Look now, I killed them with ease. How weak! How disgusting! And you dare to order them to kill me? Like father like daughter eh?'

Minister Liu was enraged and due to the stress and fury, he too was fainted by the scene.

Next morning, the news spread the whole Capital and shuddered with fear. But inside the manor, two people sneered sinisterly and didn't care about the news, and the other one kept pondering.

Brother Jiang was just shocked when his brother found a disciple, not caring about the news.
