“Miss, someone paid a large amount of money for guye’s head.”
Outside the red canopy, a person in black was standing respectfully. Inside the canopy, a woman was lovingly nestled in the arms of a man.
“How much?”
The woman chuckled.
“5000 golden liang.”
“So cheap……master, if you give me ten thousand, this matter will be forgotten……”
The woman’s slender finger ignited a string of flames on the man’s body.
“What if I say no……”
The man grabbed the woman’s soft finger and put it on his lips.
“Wu Qing, decree the ‘chase life command’. The one who kills demon wang will get ten thousand golden liang plus ‘the best killer of the year award’.”
“Qi wants to kill your own husband?”
The man turned and kept the woman’s body under his body.
“Master, if I don’t do this, how can I have an affair justifiably?”
“You dare!”
Inside the canopy, it was overflowing of spring ……

Glossary
* * *
Ranks of the wives of the emperor.
Every three year young women between the age of 13 to 16 were required to present themselves to the Forbidden City for selection which is called ‘selecting beautiful ladies’. There were two categories for the selection. One was for the daughter of officials whom were called beautiful ladies. These ladies will be inspected. Those who passed the inspection will get a higher rank and will be inspected again. After each inspection there would be women who would be eliminated. Those who passed through all the inspections could then present themselves to the emperor. The emperor and the empress, sometimes also the empress dowager will select the ladies they like and gave them a rank. The second category was for the daughters of commoners. They were called palace maids. Although palace maids weren’t wives of the emperor, but they were required to stay virgin till the moment they could leave the palace which was usual at the age of 25. 25 was considered very old in those times.

She also could command 10 palace maids and has her own palace. Usually the emperor marries her not because of love but because of her family’s power. However, only she could be buried next to the emperor in the imperial tomb.

History
* * *
As we are getting deeper into the story, some things may appear not understandable. Hope that this will make you understand the story better.
Years before the beginning story of DWGMSFF the four countries were one country ruled by the Long family (not to be confused with Longze). There was a general with the surname Wanyan who under the influence of his wife betrayed the Long family. He made alliances with three other powerful people and they created a revolt dethroning the Long family. The then crown prince and his family were killed. The Long family ceased to exist in this world. Since then the country was split into four: Dong (east) Lu, Nan (south) Feng, Xi (west) Qi and Bei (north) Zhou.
Dong Lu is ruled by the Xia family and has the backing of Peng Lai Island, a powerful sect with high martial arts experts. This will let people think before they attack Dong Lu. The condition for having Peng Lao Island’s backing is that every empress needs to be a disciple of Peng Lai Island.
Nan Feng considered the weakest of the four is ruled by Ming family. They had to sent their crown prince as hostage to Xi Qi.
Xi Qi country is ruled by Longze family. They are not weak yet not strong
Bei Zhou the strongest of the four is ruled by Wanyan family. The current emperor of Bei Zhou is really ambitious, wanting to take over other countries. So no one dares to declare war against Bei Zhou. Beside they have the war demon at their side.
The story take place mostly in Xi Qi and Bei Zhou. Sixteen years ago, there was a big war between Xi Qi and Bei Zhou resulting in the dead of Feng Cang’s father. His mother committed suicide because of grief, making him an orphan at the age of ten. The cause of the death of his parents was Murong Tai. So Feng family and Murong family has a long standing feud. It is not clear who won the war. Bei Zhou lost their best general Feng Cang’s father and only now has Xi Qi slowly recovered from that battle. Xi Qi is still afraid of Bei Zhou.
Since the establishment of the four countries, every five years there will be a tournament. No matter if there’s war, conflict or feud, this tournament will take place. It’s a way to show off in front of other countries. The last tournament, Bei Zhou lost and Dong Lu won. The next tournament will take place at the country who lost (Bei Zhou) and the different levels of competing will be set by the winning country (Dong Lu). Because the number of participants of each country is limitless, they will need to pass different levels of test. Only the strongest will go to the final competition.
Chapter 1: Du Xian ER

毒仙儿 (Du Xian Er): Du= poison Xian=fairy Er= term of endearment.
Night
It was really quiet. Occasionally, sounds of beasts howling and wind blowing through the grass could be heard. The moon was embedded in the dark blue sky. Under the full moon was a pool of water braved by a thin fog. In this dim white mist, a graceful figure was faintly discernible.
“Miss, I’ve found out.”
At one side of the pool, a person in dark clothes knelt on one knee with her head lowered to express her respect for the beauty in the water.
“Mm…talk…”
That young woman’s voice sounded sweet like the clear spring in the mountains. In this silent night, it was particularly pleasant to hear.
“Five years ago, miss and Murong Xin Lian went into the palace together to visit the then Noble Lady Murong Xue Lian. Miss stole the glowing pearl that the emperor had gifted to Murong Xue Lian. Murong Xin Lian found out and told prime minister Murong Tai. Murong Tai punished miss with the home punishment (being beaten with a wooden stick on the back). Then he sent miss to Jing Xin An……”
Noble lady is a rank in the imperial harem. Jing Xin An is a temple/nunnery.
Hearing this, the young woman chuckled.
So it turned out that this was the reason. No wonder when she woke up, she was in a broken house at the back of a nunnery without a single person around her.
Hearing the young woman’s laughter, the person in black paused. Before, she wondered why miss let her investigate this. However after she investigated, she understood. Originally, she thought her own life was miserable, she didn’t expect that miss’s life was even more miserable. Being beaten half to death by her biological father and thrown in the nunnery to fend for herself. It seemed that being born in a rich and powerful family was not necessarily a happy matter.
Seemingly to have realized the person in black’s emotions, the young woman laughed heartily: “I’m alright, you can continue.”
“From what this subordinate discovered, the glowing pearl was actually taken by Murong Xin Lian. She let the maid at miss’s side Fei Cui hide it in miss’s chamber and deliberately framed miss. Now, Fei Cui has become Murong Xin Lian’s confidante and head maid.”
“Oh…So, it’s like that ah…Fei Cui, Murong Xin Lian……”
The young woman lifted a wisp of black hair and played with it in her hands. White fingers played like snakes with the black hair, making the black hair seemed like it was a waterfall. Really beautiful.
“Miss, do you want…?”
The person in black made a ‘kacha’ hand gesture.
This nasty pair of master and servant used such low means to frame miss. Should’ve killed them long ago.
In the person in black’s eyes flashed a hint of ruthlessness. Just a nod from miss, and she would immediately go to the prime minister’s mansion and kill those two bitches.
She knew the person in black’s loyalty, but she had never thought about wanting the other party’s life. After all, she is not ‘her’.
The real miss Murong presumably must had already died after the twenty slaps from the wooden stick. Now, she was just a guest from the other world. As long as they didn’t provoke her, she was too lazy to bother with those small characters.
“Am I not the biological daughter of the first wife? Why does this Murong Xin Lian from the illegitimate line dare to do this to me? Could it be that Murong Tai’s first wife is so muddleheaded?”
“Answering miss, even though you are from the legitimate line, but since young, your body was weak and you couldn’t practice martial arts, so……”
The following words, the person in black didn’t say but in her heart, she was puzzled. Sir Mozun used ‘genius from the heaven’ to describe miss. Even that person said miss is ‘a century rare’ genius. How could it be that she was labelled as useless by her family?!
“That’s why I’m a useless decoration. Dad doesn’t like me. Mom doesn’t love me. Even after knowing that she was framed, a useless daughter dying was nothing big. Is this what you wanted to say?”
The young woman swam to the shore and looked smilingly at the person in black kneeling on the ground.
Hearing that, the person in black shuddered. She immediately lowered her head.
“Miss, this was not what this subordinate meant……”
“Hahaha! Stand up! I have said, there aren’t that many rules. I’m teasing you!”
The young woman’s laughter was like silver bells. Seeing that she wasn’t angry, the person in black’s heart felt slightly relieved.
Everyone knew that miss was like Sir Mozun, temperamental but with extraordinary ability. That was why she won S
ir Mozun’s love. Not only did he adopt her as his daughter, he also passed Moyu over to her.
Moyu: a dark sect from jianghu
In this world, you could offend everyone but you couldn’t offend miss.
Offending Sir Mozun, at most you would die, but if you offend miss, living would be more painful than death. Being with miss for five years, the person in black understood this fact clearly.
“Miss, it’s those people who don’t have eyes. They dare to treat miss, this pearl as a pebble. It’s their loss.”
The person in black stood up. The look in her eyes while looking at the young woman was stunning.
Even though she served miss for so long, the times she got to see miss’s true appearance weren’t much. Every time she saw her real appearance, even as a young woman, she was attracted by miss. Such a beautiful young woman, made people not dare to get closer, not dare to act profane and couldn’t help but bow to worship……
“No need to bother with them. These are things of the past. They are just some small shrimps. This old madam (referring to herself in an arrogant way) is too lazy to play with them.”
The young woman once again swam into the water. The white misty fog enveloped her.
“Miss, this time, I’ve found out another thing.”
“The one with a marriage arrangement with miss, Jing wang1 Longze Jing Tian, had won the south, He Lan Yu. Soon, he’ll return triumphantly with the troops to the capital. Now everyone at court is saying that Jing wang is a young war god. Murong Xin Lian seems to have a crush on Longze Jing Tian and wants to sabotage.”
Just now, she was thinking if they didn’t bother her, she wouldn’t bother them. Hearing this, the young woman in the water humphed coldly. Then she laughed again.
