—Smack (Brain Storage)
In the far East, in a dark ancient castle, two figures are entangled in a crystal coffin.
It is a balance of power, a collision of beauty.
"Let...let me go...you lied to me again, where is the princess?"
Yan Li's hand, which was trying to climb out, was pulled back by the person behind her, and her waist was also grabbed by a large hand.
The crystal coffin wasn't short, so she couldn't climb out. As long as he didn't stop, she could only be pressed down by him.
"Ah Yan, be good. Stop looking for any princess. What she can give you, I can give you too. Save your true feelings for me."
He carefully left his marks on her body, dissatisfied that she was thinking of someone else.
"No... my true heart, my true heart can only be reserved for..." the princess
Perhaps knowing that Yan Li couldn't say what he wanted to hear, he kissed her lips again, swallowing all her sobs.
After crying again and again, Yan Li's eyes were red and swollen, and she could no longer shed a single tear, nor could she utter a single word of "no"...
…＊…
Long, long ago, there was a mysterious ancient castle located in the far east.
According to the oral traditions passed down from the older generation, its owner was an extremely beautiful princess with a unique appearance that made her irresistible to anyone who saw her.
Unfortunately, when the princess turned eighteen, a jealous witch unexpectedly visited and cast a vicious curse on her.
The princess has been sleeping in a crystal coffin ever since, and only a kiss at midnight from someone with the kindest and purest heart can awaken her.
It is said that whoever can rescue the princess and awaken her will gain ownership of the castle and the princess's true love. And the castle's basement hides immense wealth, countless gold and silver jewels.
Over the centuries, countless warriors have attempted to set foot there, but all have failed, some even losing their lives in the process.
Even so, countless brave warriors still followed one after another.
Until a special day arrived, the long-standing tranquility of the castle was finally broken.
The warrior, wielding his sword, mustered his last strength and pushed open the castle gates, finally seeing the legendary crystal coffin...
From then on, the princess and the warrior lived happily ever after.

However, the crystal coffin was empty.
Princesses and warriors, it's all fake.

[Host's current identity: Warrior.]
Yan Li traversed the poisonous forest, waded through the treacherous swamp, climbed over cliffs with razor-sharp edges, and dodged attacks from ferocious beasts.
She was like a monkey in the jungle, leaping and bounding about.
What power could drive a frail woman to risk her life to go to that cursed land, the ancient castle of death?
Of course it's the great God, true love... love my foot.
Yan Li spat, wrapped the bloody cut on her wrist from the thorns with a cloth, and set off again on the road to find the crystal coffin.
Finally, after a long journey of seven days and seven nights, a mysterious ancient castle came into view.
No one knew that before entering the castle, she had received a kind warning from a well-meaning person:
The castle is strange; the living can't get out, and the dead can't either. Please don't believe anything anyone in the castle says.
As the sun sets, its afterglow envelops the ancient castle, the golden light emanating from the spire like a final warning bell before death, deterring anyone from approaching.
Looking down, a towering iron gate, two zhang high, surrounds the entire castle. The high, black walls and the deliberately drawn curtains on the windows further obscure the true appearance of what lies within.
It's like being in a sealed black iron cage; no one knows whether it contains a man-eating beast or a docile and pitiful cat.
According to rumors, this castle has been abandoned for at least several hundred years.
Although the castle in front of us has an extremely strong sense of age and history, it still looks very new on the surface.
Everywhere the naked eye could see was spotless.
On both sides of the castle, vibrant roses, like ivy, cling to the walls, red and white, clustered together, alluring and dazzling, captivating the soul.
The beginner quests shouldn't be too difficult.
Yan Li was somewhat unsure, so she shook her head, suppressed her unease, and stepped forward to knock on the castle's door.
"Hello, is anyone home?"
A moment later, "creak—"
The heavy door was pulled open slightly from the inside, revealing a face full of wrinkles.
But apart from his face, his skin texture was completely different from that of ordinary people.
He was wearing an ill-fitting tailcoat, and the trousers were so long that he couldn't support them, with one section even dragging on the ground.
Upon seeing the disheveled Yan Li outside the door, the butler showed no surprise whatsoever, and simply asked calmly, "Has our honored guest come for the Lord?"
The butler's voice was not pleasant; it sounded like an old radio—hoarse and noisy.
He stood at the door, his face expressionless, his eyes devoid of any life, yet he kept a close eye on Yan Li's reaction.
Lord?
The strange address puzzled Yan Li, but according to the information she had collected, she had not gone to the wrong place.
This is indeed the castle where the princess lived.
It seems the information was incorrect; the legendary princess did not live alone in the castle.
Yan Li responded with a soft "Mm".
