Kii.
This is a long-standing surname, which in ancient times even established its own country, holding the highest status and prestige, comparable to the royal family.
To uphold the honor of the Kii clan, everyone in the family was fervently willing to dedicate their lives, body, soul, and bloodline... They were tightly bound by ropes, puppets beneath the Void Throne.
Born into such a family, Kii Kanade's life was already destined.
This is a never-ending puppet show, and the so-called head of the Kii family, in his eyes, is not the master, but merely the biggest one.
Looking out from the Kii family, what's different about this world? Children are puppets of their parents, subordinates are puppets of their superiors, and the people are puppets of politicians…
In Kii Kanade's heart, he was no different from these people.
He deceives others with a gentle demeanor, secretly plotting behind the scenes, manipulating tangled wires, watching the drama of self-destruction unfold according to his own script, and smiling slightly behind his folding fan.
But he always knew that he was not the puppeteer; he was also one of the actors.
But one day, he suddenly saw another person.
That person, like him, was marked with symbols given to him by others.
The eldest son of the Asami family, the successor of Master Yumi...
Kii Kanade danced her own unique steps, gradually approaching the person. She wanted to hold this beautiful doll in her hands, just as she had always done.
He extended an invitation to the boy to dance, politely reaching out his hand, only to be astonished the next second when the boy broke free of the strings binding him and brushed past him.
—Immediately afterwards, he jumped off the stage.
My opinion is superficial and flawed.
Kii Kanade pressed her violently pounding heart and stared blankly ahead, but could only see the boy's back as he disappeared into the swirling cherry blossoms.
He knew Asami Miri earlier than Ju Huang, and he knew more about her complicated family situation. He even knew about her life abroad earlier.
But everything turned out differently than he expected. If they were all actors, then Asami Miri would definitely be the least qualified one.
He never reads the script.
Kii Kanade was originally a black and white piece of paper, but the moment he touched Vili, he was stained with color.
Both of them were lost in their own thoughts until the ringing of the bell finally broke the unique atmosphere.
Kii Kanade closed her folding fan, then suddenly curved her eyes into a smile, and her captivating beauty mark seemed to move slightly.
"And every time I call your name, you are a little slow to respond."
"It's probably because I've been living abroad for so long that I'm not used to this name at all."
"Vili?"
For the first time, someone has called out their real name in this new world.
Like a heavy anchor that has been dropped, it landed with a thud, startling the fish swimming on the seabed and scattering them in all directions.
Vili looked at Kii Kanade, his raven-feather-like eyelashes trembling slightly. He turned his head away, but the latter could still see that fleeting smile.
"Um."
This was Tianhai's class, and regardless of what the two were thinking, they both temporarily interrupted their conversation and acted like good students.
After class, without Kii Kanade trying to persuade him to stay, Vili looked over first.
"So, what kind of help do you mean?"
"More than helping the Asami family, what you really want is to break free, right?"
"so……"
Kii Kanade's smile was ordinary, but her words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.
"Why don't you marry me?"
"Click".
Masashi Yukimura, sitting in the front seat, paused in his writing and stared blankly at the broken pencil lead.
"..."
Willie raised an eyebrow; without saying a word, his expression already conveyed his attitude.
Kii Kanade, however, remained calm and composed.
"If you marry me, you can take my surname, Kii Miri... Doesn't that sound good?"
"And your father probably won't urge you to complete anything anymore..." He lowered his brows slightly, looking somewhat gloomy, "...the task of climbing the social ladder."
"I think the power of the Kii family should be enough to shut him up."
"Of course, I know that with your own abilities, you will be able to achieve this in the future. But since we can save some effort, why not?"
Kii Kanade's expression was sincere, and his words seemed to genuinely reflect his concern for Vili.
But no matter how eloquently he spoke, he couldn't hide his... wolfish ambitions.
Vili pursed his lips and turned his head away.
He had actually thought this guy would say something nice.
"I have more than one option."
After thinking for a moment, Vili raised the corners of his mouth and said wickedly.
"But you probably prefer being around smart people, right?"
Kii Kanade's gaze fell on the red mark behind Vili's ear... it was such an eyesore.
Considering his earnest advice, Mr. Tenkai should let Tachibana take a few more days off at home this time, right?
“I’m not as reckless as that guy.”
The sharp scraping sound of the chair against the floor suddenly rang out, interrupting Willy's opening remarks.
Both of them looked toward the source of the sound, where Yukimura Masashi had stood up.
"Feel sorry."
Noticing their gazes, Masashi Yukimura nodded slightly, his expression remaining unchanged.
"I suddenly remembered that I have a student council meeting later. Kii, could you please ask for leave for me?"
Kii Kanade nodded indifferently, watching Yukimura Masashi's departing figure, but the corners of his lips suddenly fell, the shadow falling on his face, revealing an unexpected indifference.
