In the dark dungeon, the sound of dripping water was heard, and in the innermost iron cage, a madman was locked up.
His legs had been broken and his whole body was hung in the air like mud. His long hair covered his face, but one could still vaguely see a long bloody mark on his face. The wound was very deep, and blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, staining his chest.
His tattered clothes were covered in blood, his skin was ulcerated in many places, and there were new whip marks. He was silent and looked like he was dead.
…
I have been here for a long time, so long that I have forgotten why I was locked up. It seems that it was because I broke the king's favorite vase, or maybe it was because I killed one of the king's favorite concubines. I don't remember. Maybe the king has forgotten that there is such a person as me.
I heard from the new jailer that they have a new king. This king is kind and generous, a rare wise ruler. But what does this have to do with me? He is not kind to me.
I was unusually energetic that day, so I opened my eyes and looked around the dungeon. It was as old as ever, and it would be easy for me to get out. However, because I was picky about food, I hadn't eaten for a long time, so I had no strength and didn't want to move.
It must have been noon when a beam of light burst into the dark dungeon.
The child's eyes were beautiful and he was very brave. He was not afraid of me and even chatted with me. There was another child with him. The child was a little different, as if he came from another world. When did such a capable person appear in the Zhou Dynasty?
The kid said his name was Ji Fuqing, and the one following him was his younger brother, Ji Huaichuan. They were brothers... They seemed to have a very good relationship. I wondered if it would remain that way forever, I thought maliciously.
The child looks very cute when he smiles, like the bad boy Li Guang. Oh, Li Guang is in charge of the sun.
Maybe I have lived too long and everyone looks like a child to me, so who cares?
One day, Fu Qing told me that he had asked his father for a reward to release me. How should I tell him that I might be staying here voluntarily? Forget it, it's just a child's kindness, so I'll just accept it.
I once thought about eating this child. He was a great temptation to me. After all, I hadn't eaten for a long time. Yes, I am a cannibal.
Oh, I'm not a good person. To me, eating people is normal, just like you eating food and drinking water. But I'm a bit picky and I don't eat everyone.
Fu Qing took me out, asked a medical officer to treat my injuries, changed me into new clothes, and dressed me up like a human being.
Fu Qing has a good temper, rarely gets angry, and is gentle to everyone, like water.
Fu Qing likes to play with me, but that brat Ji Huaichuan doesn't get along with me. If it weren't for Fu Qing's sake, I would have eaten him up long ago. He doesn't know what's good for him.
This year's Qiqiao Festival was also Fuqing's birthday. As expected, good-looking people even have romantic birthdays.
I got some small things from Li Guang and prepared them as gifts for Fu Qing. The kid will definitely like them.
That night, I set off a fireworks display for Fu Qing. The fireworks filled the entire sky over the capital, lighting up the night as bright as day. My guess was right, he really liked it. That night we made our feelings clear. Fu Qing was sixteen years old that year.
Later, he and I became a couple that everyone envied. Of course, this "everyone" refers to that kid Ji Huaichuan. When he found out, he was so angry that he started to die, and I even laughed at him for a long time.
Later, I thought so because I was good-looking, but Fu Qing said it was because I was great.
The new king I tricked was so confused that he became the national teacher and the master of that kid Ji Huaichuan.
To be honest, I prefer Fu Qing. Ji Huaichuan is pretentious, but Fu Qing is different. He is gentle as jade, knows when to advance and when to retreat, is polite, and pleases me. He is the epitome of all that is good, which is exactly the opposite of me.
In the past few years, I have restrained my temper and no longer sneak out to have a snack from time to time. In order not to scare Fu Qing, he never knew what kind of person I was from the beginning to the end. He was deceived by the illusion I created.
Ji Huaichuan actually saw through me clearly. Perhaps... it's just like attracts like? I don't know. This kid looks innocent, but he's actually quite dark-hearted and mysterious. The fact that he came from another world alone was enough to intrigue me for a long time. Later, I found out it was that damned Li Guang who was behind this.
As I said before, I was very weak because I had not eaten for a long time. Maybe because of this, someone took advantage of my weakness and poisoned me, and then kidnapped Ji Huaichuan because he was the new king's favorite youngest son.
But I didn't expect Fu Qing to come to me alone and ask me to release Ji Huaichuan, and he would be the prisoner. I saw that Fu Qing's beautiful eyes were filled with sadness and disappointment, but not fear. My child is really different.
Unfortunately, I couldn't control my body. I just watched him and Ji Huaichuan switch places, and watched as 'I' pierced his heart with the sword he gave me.
Fu Qing tightly grasped the sword that pierced his body, tears falling to the ground one by one, his beautiful eyes looking at "me", as if asking why. When he fell, it snowed inopportunely, and we both looked like we had turned white in the snow. Fu Qing was 21 years old that year.
Fu Qing's blood splashed on my face and passed through the corner of my mouth. I kind of hated this Gu that controlled my body. Fu Qing had never shed tears for me before, this was the first time.
Now I know who is controlling me, and I also know that the thing I have been longing for for a long time does not taste good, and is even bitter and astringent.
I watched as I tricked the new king and Fu Qing's other brothers into coming. They believed me, but were still on guard and brought their troops with them. Unfortunately, the troops didn't make it past the foot of the mountain and were killed by the traps I set up.
