After observing the objects on the table for a while, Luiz grabs the wooden box from the table and places the combination: 3.9.5.6 but it was not the right combination.

"Why did you try those numbers?" Marquez asked Luiz while he took the box from his hands.

"I thought it might be the number of pieces on each corner of the board," Luiz replied, pointing at the board.

Hearing the words of Luiz, Marquez began to try various combinations with the numbers: 3, 9, 5 and 6.

Even after several combinations, they could not find the right combination, when they were about to give it up they'd put the box on the table they had the voice of Felps.

"try 1.3.5.2," said Felps suddenly concentrating, looking at the chessboard.

Following the request of Felps and placing the numbers in the box to the surprise of the two the combination was certain, intrigued Marquez and Luis look for Felps waiting for an answer.

"I changed the pieces by Roman numerals, thus achieving this sequence," replied Felps, turning his head to look at his friends who were looking at him before asking "then what's inside that box."

"I changed the pieces by Roman numerals, thus achieving this sequence," replied Felps, turning his head to look at his friends who were looking at him before asking "then what's inside that box."


Turning his attention to the box, inside it, it had only a small double hand mirror, with a black and red frame.

Looking at the mirror he was nothing special looked like a normal mirror, picking up the mirror with the skull helmet on his head, Luiz looks at the mirror, when he looks at the mirror with the cape he takes a fright, almost leaving the mirror Fall on the floor.

The reason he was frightened was that in the reflection of the mirror he did not see his reflection but the face of a black creature with horns. To their friends all they saw was a beam of light coming out of the back of the mirror.

"What was it?" asked his friends in unison.

"I do not know, it's like a demon or something, it looks like he's looking in the direction of the cross," Luis said, turning the mirror toward the cross, but when the light reached the right side of the cross, the wall began to slow down.

when the stones finished falling they were about to walk to the wall that collapsed but they heard the voice of Felps.

"Was that light always on?" Suppressed by the sudden question of Felps, Luiz and Marquez look in the direction in which Felps was looking and discover that the "goat" symbol was shining.

"Take the skull out of your head, let's see what happens," said Felps, looking at Luiz who still had a skull on his head.

By removing the skull, the symbol loses most of its brightness but still shines a bit by placing the skull on the table, to shine.
 
"It seems that this skull is one of the keys to opening that door, we need to find the rest of the items that correspond to each symbol," Felps said, walking toward the wall that collapsed.

Arriving where the wall collapsed they found a glass dome with a red diamond floating in and a place to place a four-digit cobweb.

Looking at the slots, Felps grabs the card that was with the skeleton at a glance and begins to put the combination, 2.1.7.3. In fact the symbols that were in the corner of the letter were mirrored numbers thus confusing people who did not look closely.

Opening the dome and picking up the diamond in his hand, the three of them heard a sound coming from the bow of stones and turned to see that the diamond-shaped symbol was billowing weakly.

"It's shining weak, so there's something else we have to do with this diamond," says Luiz after observing the glow.

waking up in a dark room made of stone, the first thing they felt was confusion, cold, and fear.

"Where is mine?", Serin asked, raising her one eyebrow and looking for an answer from grandma. 

"That room in the corner of the passage", Grandma told her pointing towards a room with a closed-door at the end of the passage, the same room where her grandpa was standing and glancing towards. 

As per Serin's expectations, her room will be bigger than her sister's. Elin said it was special before coming there, so she thought there would be video games and karaoke too inside it. 

Serin sighed in relief and took little steps towards her room with lots of expectations with her. Elin saw that she was going to open her room. So she walked behind her, Elin was suspicious to know too about it. Serin placed her hand on the doorknob and closed her eyes in the hope that it would be beautiful than Elin's and she opened the door. 

"What? Hahahahaha~", the hallway filled with weird giggles of Elin's, making Serin open her eyes in puzzlement. Her eyes widened as she saw her room. 

"It's so small than me, and there is even no bed here", Elin said, laughing her heart out. 

The room was very small, light purple painted, with one small table and one small wardrobe only. There wasn't any bed inside. This made Serin nasty because it was too worst than Elin's room. 

"Is this what you meant beautiful grandma?", she questioned, jumping down her grandmother's throat. 

"Yes, it's beautiful. Your room has a view of our beautiful backyard and hills. Cold winds will always touch the window of your room and enter into your room pleasing you", Grandma said with smiling face and pushed Serin inside the room with her Luggage and closed the door behind her back. 

"Serin, Be quick. We won't wait for you for long. We have to even leave for art studio today", Mr Smith said shouting and went downstairs. 

"What? No rest?" She said with a throb to herself. 

She looked around her room standing at one place. Walls were freshly painted light purple, There was a small dressing table near a wardrobe. There were white curtains installed on the windows which were blowing due to the wind coming in the room through the windows. 

She went near the windows and yes, the view was great but that was the only thing beautiful in the room. She turned back and looked again at her room. It was very small as compared to Elin's room. She even has a bed in it, and Serin didn't. 

Her room has an old wooden wardrobe. She opened her suitcase and put all her clothes inside that wardrobe. Placing her makeup and jewellery box on the table beside the wardrobe, she went in the washroom to get some hot water bath. 

"At least my room has a bathroom", she mumbled and sighed in relief. Serin made her way inside it, grabbing her towel along her. 

She took a quick hot water shower, wrapping herself in a bathrobe and her hairs in a towel, she walked out of the washroom. She changed herself in blue jeans and white loose georgette shirt with a navy blue tank top under it. 

She wore some fancy bracelets in one hand and watch in the other. As she wanted to make her hairs, she started searching for a mirror in her room. But it wasn't anywhere. 

Suddenly her eyes captured something behind the wardrobe which was covered with a silk cloth of pearl white colour. It looked familiar to her so she went near it and pulled out that heavy thing from behind the wardrobe. 

It was something big and heavily covered with a silk cloth on it, even bigger in size than her. She suddenly remembered the thing which was kept in the basement of the restaurant, from which cold breeze came out and touched her body. 

"Why is it kept here?", she questioned herself in turmoil. 

Because of her curious mind, She pulled down the silk cloth which fell waving, it looked beautiful while it was waving down revealing a great mirror behind it. It was an old antique mirror. Its border was of polished wood of dark brown colour with a beautiful design carved on it. It was carved in detail with flowers and Chinese dragons on it. 

"It's amazingly beautiful", she let out. A smile touched her face unexpectedly as she was admiring the large mirror. She shook her head as she remembered she was late and started making her hairs as she was late to go. 

"Are you ready? ", Elin opened the door while asking and came in without taking her permission. 

"Don't you have manners of knocking the door?", Serin shouted, looking back at her younger sister in resentment. 

Elin chuckled but her attention was caught by the old antique mirror kept behind serin. Ignoring her, Elin ran towards the mirror pushing Serin aside. She was about to touch her mirror when Serin grabbed her hands and pulled back. 

"Don't you dare", Serin warned, glaring at her with big eyes. 

Serin herself doesn't know why she was acting possessive taking that mirror. Elin was perplexed by looking at her sister behaving like this for a mirror, which wasn't even her. 

Serin tossed her comb on a small dressing table beside the wardrobe and dragged Elin out of the room, locking it behind, and went downstairs hauling Elin with her. 

"Ohh please leave my hands, it's paining", Elin whined in front of everyone. They were sitting on the dining table, making everyone glimpse towards them. Serin left her hand leaving red marks of her fingerprints over them and took her seat. 

"Serin! Why were you holding her hands? Look you left red marks on her hands", Mr Smith scolded her. 

"Because I was going to touch that old mirror in her room", Elin mumbled in a low voice and pouted. 

"Which mirror?", Mr and Mrs Smith both asked in unison. 

"Mirror in her room. Daddy, it's something antique you know?", Elin said. Excitement filled in her voice. 

"Ok enough, let's eat now", Mrs Smith commanded to them and everyone began to eat. 

But, someone on the table was sitting nervously glancing down at the plate. Immediately turned out to be stressed, after listening about the mirror. He was their grandpa. 

"Stop thinking about it now and eat", Grandma whispered to him and looked at Serin who was ogling them both with a confused look. 

Serin gave a shaky smile in return and glanced down on the table, thinking about his grandpa's sudden change in expression after hearing about the mirror. And what was grandma telling him about not to think?

"If you dare to run away now, you will be punished"
"I don't scare at all to any of your punishments, Mr Prince". She said smugly but before she could escape from the room, he grabbed her arms and pinned her to the wall.

An ordinary girl named Serin Smith unknowingly discovers another world and becomes a Queen there. But it isn't easy to become a Queen, right?

Serin is a 20-year-old beautiful girl. She doesn't find it cool and thinks boring to spend time with her family. Her friends are everything to her and more important is her fame and status. This vacation, unwillingly she came to Daegu because of her family to meet her grandparents. She finds a mirror in her room and gets dragged inside it, later she finds herself lying somewhere which isn't her home. Join this adventure to find about which new place she finds out inside the mirror and what happens to her next with the Prince of Moon...

Millian woke up, she saw herself on the floor of a wooden house close to the the entrance door, she gently stood up, the bag of money that laid on her stomach fell to the floor it reminded her of what she was about to do before she was woken up by the old lady at the sauna, she was about to get some snacks from the market with the bag of money, she wasn't hungry anymore and decided to explore the wooden house, she walked to the table where herbs where kept, keeping the bag of money she clumsily fell one of the cups that laid on the table which fell, rolled and stopped in front of a curtain that could scarcely be noticed because it was at a hidden corner of the house she got curious and opened the curtain to see what was behind it, behold it was a large room filled with books of different sizes carefully arranged on long large shelves she was surprised her curiosity was bricked even more she went closer and pick one of the books opening it she went through it's pages quickly not really going through all the pages of the book she kept it where she had picked it from and picked another book she repeated desame process for all the books hoping to see any one of interest not finding any, she decided to explore the room, she thought it must have been the priestess's library, she came across a wooden table at one side of the wall still inside the library it had a mirror attached to it and a large black bowel on its table, everything on the wooden table and the table itself looked quite old.............................
         she curiously walked closer to take a look, looking inside the black wide bowel that was filled with water, it's content started changing colour till it completely changed to red then a figures of knights on battled field  appeared Millian was shocked at what she saw and did not understand shortly after the revolution the liquid changed the colour of it's content to white then a very rare beautiful phonex flower appeared, Millian mumbled to herself " what is going on, what is this beautiful flower?", immediately, the mirror before her sparkled which attracted her attention and she look up to the mirror which was filled with write-ups, it read that what she just saw was the defeat of the Kuro kingdom by the Gawan kingdom and the phonex was the only thing that could bring back the peace that existed between the kingdoms, it assured her that the Kuro kingdom will never win the battle but could restore peace only with the phonex, she was a little confused but was able to ask the mirror where the phonex flower was and how she could get it another write up appeared telling her that she wasn't the one destined to hold the flower that she was only in charge of relying the massage and assisting the ones destined to get it and if the flower ends up in the wrong hands it will fade away and never exist again.
*****************†††**********************
Millian asked the mirror who it was that was destined to hold the flower and how it was going to bring peace back to the kingdoms, there was no reply and the mirror stopped glowing.......
She stood there for a while, waiting for a reply but none came, leaving the library she suddenly remembered what she was instructed to do by the king and was about to go to the palace looking at her clothes she remembered that she hasn't had her bath and walked into the bathroom where an anciently designed bathroom was, there was a bar of soap and a used sponge there, she took the soap and bathed without a sponge thankfully there was a large pot of water there.............................
After taking her shower she walked out of the bathroom with all her features exposed looking for a towel inside the bedroom but found none she gave up and searched for clothes, not knowing where Kimani kept her clothes it was quite difficult finding any, confused and remembering she had seen a bag filled with materials that looked like clothes on the chair next to the table herbs were kept she opened her curtains and walking towards the herbs table she hoped to find something to wear, unknown to her Bruss, after knocking serval times on the door welcomed himself in and waited for her, he was shocked at the sight he beheld and was mesmerized.


Wiping the sweat off my brow I look at myself thoroughly through the mirror, my chest heaves up and down heavily.
Having just finished dancing I am completely worn out, Mr. Gee made me and Nick work together for 'Bonding Time'.
To me I thought that was completely unnecessary, if he's as good as everyone claims then it shouldn't have been a problem picking up a routine.

Without his old partner it was a mess, it's safe to say we've stepped on each others feet about a million times.
Arguing with each other over who messed up and who didn't, eye rolls and stomping feet, at the end of the day it just got annoying.
Switching from being alone to having a partner was really hard, even if me and Jay danced together sometimes we were never a 'Pair'.
I don't know how I'm going to keep up with the constant bickering back and forth, I honestly don't think we're ever going to get along.

First of all he's way too annoying, second we don't work well together, and lastly all he does is pick on me and make fun of me every chance he gets.
Like what's up with that?
'Why did I have to move schools?'

Sighing loudly I look at the empty dance room through the mirror, turning around I lean against it, tilting my head back on the cold mirror it feels nice on my head.
My eyes take in the room, on my right side is the door for the entrance of the dance room, right next to it is another door.
There is a cut out on the dance room mirror for a door, The unknown door starts to peek my interest, pushing myself off of the mirror I walk towards it.
I wonder what it could be because when you go to enter the dance room there is a wall there, bringing my hand up I twist the knob.
Pushing it open I step inside, my eyes widen in shock, Gasping at the beautiful room.



When I open the door all the way I step inside, looking to the left I see another door, automatically I'm confused.
If there was a wall after the other one then why is there another door?
Walking over to it briskly I pull it open, stepping out of that door I look into another school hallway.
'Ohhh so it leads to the other half of the school, that's neat.'

Turning back around I step back inside that door, walking over to the beautiful black grand piano i sit down in the bench, Looking at it closely I see it has collected dust.
I'm guessing this room hasn't been used for quite a while now, looking up it faces towards the mirror, furrowing my brows I don't see my reflection in it.
Getting up I walk towards the mirror, taking it in I only see my bag on the floor, 'thats weird... I thought I left it in the dance roo-...'.

Shocked a smile plasters itself onto my face, I realized that it's a two way mirror, this mirror lets you see into the other room but the other rooms mirror acts like a regular one.
Walking through the door I go back into the dance room, grabbing my bag I look at the mirror.
'no one would ever know that the other mirror can see everything going on in the room.'
_____________________________________

Walking quickly to the lunch room I pull my hair tie out of my hair, having tied it up for PE.
Back into my outfit I physically shudder at the mention of PE, it's not like I'm not 'Active', it's just I hate running and sports with a passion.

I mean I'm very good at sports but I'd rather not do it for fun, we didn't have a uniform for PE so we got to wear what we like.
When my eyes scanned over the gym the amount of girls butt cheeks I saw made me want to literally vomit.

Stepping inside of the lunch room I scan my eyes, in the middle of the lunchroom I saw a very big table, and guess who was sitting at it.

That's right no other than Nick himself, looking at the other people I saw the same three guys from the dance studio.
I'm guessing they are Nick's friends, looking across the table I see Lima Bean sitting next to Nick, with her stupid little clique of girls from 1st period study hall.

Groaning out I notice my sister Kay sitting with a couple of people towards my left, taking a step towards her to go sit with them someone immediately blocks my view.



"Hi you're that Shim girl right? From the studio..." caught off guard I stare at the boy, my eyebrows jump up as I remember him from my first day at the studio.

"Oh hey! You're the guy who stuck up for me right?" He smiles making his eyes crinkle as I come to realize him, gripping my hand he pulls me with him.

"Yeah the names jake, why don't you come sit with me and my friends?" His head turns back to me as he drags me, nodding my head I give him a smile.

"Sure! I think that woul-.."
My sentence cuts off as a lump gets caught in my throat, my feet skid on the lunchroom floor when I realize where he's headed.
Come to think of it I do remember him sitting there earlier, my voice comes out soft as I go to protest sitting at the table in the middle of the room.

The table with Nick AND Lima Bean.

"You know on second thought I think I left something in-..."

Jake starts to laugh at me, tugging on my hand more we finally get to the table, my eyes scan the lunch room as I hear it grow quiet.
Most of the other students eyes are settled on me and jakes hands intertwined, looking over to Nick and the others sitting down they have become quiet as well.
My eyes lock with Nick his fork dropping on the table as he sees jake drag me over, his face is expressionless, eyes drifting down to our hands.
His eyes hold a dangerous glint, his once light brown eyes now look like a dark brown almost black, resembling charcoal.


His shoulders become hard as his body goes rigid, jakes voice bounces off the walls in the room, "this is Shimmy she's gonna sit with us from now on, hope that's cool with you guys".

'That's just my last name but I guess I don't mind that nickname either'
My face heats up as I think this.

"Eww why would we want-.."
Lima beans high pitched voice comes off strong, making the other students continue to talk amongst themselves in the lunch room.

Cutting her off I hear Nick start to speak, 
"Yeah that's cool"
His head is bent over his plate, fork pushing around the food as if he's playing with it, lifting his head he looks directly at me.

His lips pull up into a grin, tilting his head slightly to the side while he looks at me this makes me feel like he's up to something.

'What's up with him?'

Breaking the eye contact I turn towards jake, he pulls my book bag from off my shoulders, putting it on the floor next to him he sits down while motioning to the seat beside him.
Taking a deep breath I clench my fists, pulling a smile onto my face I take my seat, right next to jake and right infront of...


....Nick

2 of the best dancers...
The same dream...
The same passion...

But what happens....
When they have to share the same spotlight...


"SERIOUSLY can you like stop bumping into me!" 
Anger courses through my body as I shoot him a glare.
"Well.. if you'd stay out of my way then GLADLY!" the jerk says yelling near the end, "Aish this dumbass..-" I say muttering to myself.
"What- what did you just say"
"whAt- WHaT dID YOu jUsT SaY" I laugh as I mock him.
I can feel the warmth of him on my back, I can feel him standing behind me, turning around I come face to face with him.
His face inches from mine, "so you're mocking me now... well what happens if I kiss you?" 
A bit flustered my cheeks turn red.
I snap out of my daze mustering up enough courage to reply.
When it comes to this.. the only way I can win is if I fight fire with fire.
looking into his eyes I say "well then I guess I'll have no choice...-
....but to return it".

Soon, he was forced to transform into the appearance of a parrot and a crow.
"Beep, beep, the system is undergoing evolution on Transformation Body No. 3-Crow."
"Ding Dong, the system is undergoing evolution on Transformation Body No. 2-Parrot."
"Ding Dong, Transformation Body No. 3-Crow D-class evolution successful, the evolution this time is [Organ-Steel Claw]."
"Ding Dong, Transformation Body No. 2-Parrot B-class evolution successful. The evolution this time is [Wisdom-Coaxing]."
...
Lin Neng's body instantly turned into a crow. The position of his claws turned silver-white, flashing with white light. It looked abnormally sharp and could cut through steel at any time.
His sharp claws could tear through everything!
That was a remarkably successful evolution.
Immediately after that, Lin Neng turned into a parrot again. His body seemed to become more comfortable, but the feeling quickly ended.
Lin Neng jumped on the table, but there was nothing unusual.
What did he evolve?
Wisdom? Coxing others?
What kind of skill was that?
Lin Neng jumped on the table in a daze. He felt that his strength and his speed were normal. He was just an ordinary parrot.
After thinking for a while, Lin Neng decided to fly around the house.
Perhaps his ability would be useful in some special place?
As he flew, Lin Neng stopped in front of a mirror and flapped his wings.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Lin Neng could not help but blurt out,
"How can there be such a handsome bird in this world?"
"Oh, my God! I want to kowtow to myself in front of the mirror!"
"I'm simply the only beauty in the world!"
"This pair of eyes, how many stories are hidden in them, how deep they are! They are filled with the charm of male hormones!"
"If nothing goes wrong, I should be the most handsome existence in this world!"
"The rarely seen beauty in the world. I'm who I am, a firework-like no others."
...
The long lines came out of Lin Neng's mouth automatically.
After saying that, he was stunned on the spot.
"This..."
'Did I say it myself?'
Lin Neng was dumbfounded.
He finally understood what his skill was.
It was complimenting!
And it was the kind that was not under his control!
Now, he was the only one in the house, or rather, he was a bird.
So, he could only be narcissistic in front of the mirror. But when he was facing others, would he not be able to control himself to praise others?
Lin Neng still maintained his parrot form and flew in front of the mirror, looking at himself in the mirror with a dumbfounded look.
"Oh my God! There is such a handsome bird. Even when he is in a daze, he is so moving. Even when he is in a daze, he is so handsome. If this is not me, then I am afraid that I have already fallen in love."
"It's over. I've fallen in love with myself in the mirror. I can't extricate myself anymore. From now on, the person I love deeply is only me in the mirror. I want to put the mirror in front of my bed. Every day when I wake up, I'll be able to see my handsome face. I'll be awoken by my handsomeness and not an alarm clock."
"Every day, I have to look in the mirror for five hours because I want to have enough time to appreciate my beauty. Why not six hours, seven hours, or more? Because if I look too much, I'm afraid that I'll fall in love too deeply and can't extricate myself..."
After Lin Neng said that, he was completely dumbfounded.
He was about to go crazy.
He had spent a whole 200,000 US dollars!
He could have even bought a house even in a remote place with that amount of money.
And, he had only exchanged it for a useless bootlicker skill?
He might not even be able to accept it even it was used on himself.
Lin Neng sighed and turned around. When he saw the table next to him, his mouth could not help but open:
"There's such an exquisite table design! It's simply rare in this world!"
"Look at the material of this table. It's so smooth, yet it feels so nice to touch!"
"Look at this design. It must be the work of a master to be able to have such good taste. It's hard to forget just by looking at it. It's the only thing in my dreams at night. I can't forget it for a long time."
After saying that, Lin Neng turned his head and saw the chandelier above his head.
"Look at how big and bright this chandelier is!"
"Oh, this is light! The light of a chandelier is like the Sun, spreading warmth into my heart.
"Praise the Sun. No, praise the chandelier!"
An ordinary chandelier had become an existence as great as the sun in Lin Neng's words.
That was the greatest bootlicker!
...
Lin Neng finally couldn't take it anymore.
He immediately deactivated his transformation and returned to his human form from the parrot.
"F*ck!"
As soon as he turned into a human, Lin Neng couldn't help but start cursing!
"I spent 200,000 dollars to evolve this thing?"
"Can anyone tell me how am I supposed to use this to assassinate?"
Lin Neng thought about it. Since it was evolved by the system, then he could only ask the system.
He immediately contacted the system, "System, how do I use this skill?"
"Think about it yourself." The system's reply was very simple.
"Then can it evolve again?"
"No, evolution is irreversible. Once the evolution is completed, it is the inevitable result. No matter what, it cannot be replaced or changed."
The system said in an extremely calm tone of voice.
Hearing that, Lin Neng was completely dumbfounded.


Lin Neng had traveled to a parallel world and became a D-class killer in a killer organization. He had activated the Crazy Transformation System when he was having issues with carrying out his assassination mission. He would be rewarded with points after completing an assassination mission, which could be traded for Shapeshifting ability from the system. He could even power up his existing ability. Carlos, the A-class criminal on the loose, was staring at this strange fly in front of him. Before he could react, that fly had slit through his throat. Johnson, the head of a human trafficking organization, had petted the head of a stray cat beside him, but that stray cat jumped up suddenly and slashed his head in half. Lucas, the leader of a mafia group, had just sat down, a sharp blade stuck out from the chair he was sitting on suddenly and impaled him... Hence, a frightening name emerged in this world - the shapeshifter!


"Mom, I'm going to the gym!" Lica shouted out.
She took her sport bag and ran out of the house...
After her last return from the Kingdom of Night, first, every night Angelica waited for any news about the Prince from Henry. But time was passing and nothing happened. So the girl day by day came to the normal life.
She finished the school, has entered the University of Languages at the Faculty of Translation and joined two sport sections: Aikido and Fencing.
"Aikido is OK," her mother sighed. "There are lots of hooligans in the streets. But why is Fencing? Are you going to wave with a stick under the offender's nose?"
"Anything can be useful in life!" Lica said smiling.
She remembered clearly how stupid she had looked, swinging her sword in front of the vampires. But six months have passed since that time.
Coming back from the training, she found a note on the kitchen table from her mother:
 
We are at the Petrovs, in the country. We are going to stay for a night. So do not wait for us!
Have dinner and go to bed!
Your Mom
 
Next to the note on the table she saw the plate with some cutlets and fries. She ate leisurely and went to her room. Coming to the window, she looked out. The weather was stormy. The wind was whirling last autumn leaves and occasional but large drops of rain began drumming on the glass.
"Well... The sky is overcast, so it's nothing to look at," Lica thought. "I'd rather watch TV!"
But only could she make a couple of steps the light blinked and went out. The wire must have shorted out somewhere.
Angelica went by feel to the kitchen and pulled three thick souvenir candles out of the cupboard. Then she returned to her room, lit the candles and put them on the table. It was very nice.
"Hmm..." Lica said aloud. "I think the evening will be boring! I must do something about it!"
She walked here and there across the room and then went to the wardrobe, as if she had remembered something, and opened it. There on the hangers was that white ball dress in which she had danced at her first ball in the Kingdom of Night. Angelica took it out and carefully removed from the hanger.
"I have to try it on!" the girl decided. "Because I haven't put it on once after the ball!"
She put on her dress and lovely white high-heeled shoes and let her hair.
"Well, now I look just as when I was dancing with Edward for the first time," Lica thought, looking in the mirror.
     Remembered the ball, she was dancing around the room, humming a tune. The candles flame was swaying and strange shadows were dancing on the walls and ceiling. Angelica stopped in front of the mirror and laughed merrily at herself.
At this moment the reflection in the mirror suddenly trembled and ran. The girl shook her head and blinked frequency. The reflection became clear again but behind the "mirror" Lica there was not her room but a luxurious hall. There were two armchairs, carved table and a fireplace with merrily burning flame by the wall.
"That's what I call over dancing," Angelica thought.
At this moment her own reflection in the mirror suddenly dimmed and she saw the face of the Prince Night there.
"Well they are hallucinations!" Lica said loudly. "When I touch the mirror, it all will disappear!"
She held out her hand and the Prince did the same. The girl was absolutely sure that she would touch the cold mirror by her fingers. But suddenly she felt the warm touch of the Prince's hand. Angelica screamed and jumped back. The Prince Night grinned, took a step forward and stood on the table. A second later he jumped into Lica's room.
"What a cramped room!" the Prince remarked sarcastically, looking around. "But the atmosphere is very romantic. The bed, the candles and the lovely girl! Are you waiting for someone, Angelica?"
"You! You…" Lica flushed.
She could not find the right words. Finally, she pulled herself together and said:
"You have broken into here, as if it would be your home!"
"Well, let's say I have not broken," the Prince answered. "I just have quietly jumped into your room. What are you so afraid of, my fearless Angelica? We are friends, aren't we?"
"What do you think? I haven't heard from you for ages!" Then out of the blue you have jumped from the mirror and asked me what I was scared of?
"Oh, that's why! And I thought that I had disturbed you. You look as if you are going to the ball. So I decided that you had been waiting for someone."
"For you!" Lica quipped.
"Well, here I am! I am entirely at your disposal."
The Prince slowly moved to the girl and put his hands over her shoulders and pulled her close. He bended forward and stared into her eyes. Angelica could feel his breath near her face. She closed her eyes and froze ready for a kiss. However, the Prince bended even down and whispered in her ear:
"Only first of all, I'd like to discuss something more important..."

The blurb: “Not any eagle-owl flying into your window at night is the envoy of the enigmatic Prince. Not any girl, like Angelica, will dare to a long and dangerous travel to the mysterious Kingdom of Night. But the promises must be carried out! Even if for this purpose it is necessary to become the girlfriend of Goblin, to go down to the Underworld, to meet with blood-thirsty pirates and Sandy snakes. It is good to have two souls, but sometimes you need to give your one soul to seal a portal to the Other-world…”

SYNOPSIS

Angelica asks the witch Margo to return the soul of Edward into his body, and the soul of Swein - into his. It is difficult because Swein is dead. It is required the blood of a vampire for the ritual, and the girl goes to the vampire's ball, where she meets their ruler - Lord Arthur. She gets the blood and Margo carries out the ritual. Angelica begins to understand that at the same time she is in love with three men: Edward, Swein and Arthur.

Meanwhile, in the outskirts of the Kingdom the pristine evil breaks out of the caves. To stop it Margo asks Angelica, Edward and Swein to find her brother witch-pagan Huron. Because of an accident Swein remains in the Kingdom, and Edward and Lica go for Huron.

After many adventures, our heroes arrive to the country, where Huron lives. Angelica scarcely avoids harem of one rich nomad, and Edward nearly is lost after a meeting with the beasts of the desert – the sand’s snakes. However, having overcome all difficulties, the Prince and Lica find Huron and persuade him to go to the Kingdom of Night.

For the final battle with the forces of evil Swein, Edward and Arthur gather their armies, and Huron prepares a pagan ritual. But the affairs don't go according to their plan, and Angelica has to enter into a deadly fight against evil and to save her friends.

Evening comes.
The fluorescent lights flooded the entire home.
The cook and housemaids were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Graven and the girls were relaxing on the terrace outside the house. They watched the multitude of fireflies gathering in the air in front of them.
"Wow! So magical and splendid!" Laura murmured to herself. The night's atmosphere in the countryside always gives her a sense of peace and calmness.
Rebecca heard Laura's words of admiration for the fireflies. "Beautiful, isn't it?"
Laura smiled and looked at Rebecca. "Yes! Splendid! They're shining like stars in the sky!" she muses.
Rebecca stared at Graven's eyes sweetly. "Honey, I like to bond with Laura tonight. I will sleep in her room tonight. Is that okay with you?" she purred.
For a moment, Graven looked at the two women with a raised brow. After a while, he answered, "Okay..." he gave his permission.
"Thank you, honey!" Rebecca spoke in a sugary voice. She looked at Laura and winked at her.
One hour later.
The housemaid approached the terrace and announced, "Dinner is ready... My Lord...Miss!" she said and left quietly.
The trio rose to their feet and entered the house going to the dining room area.
They settled at the dining table and ate their supper in comfortable silence.
One hour later, they finished eating dinner and went upstairs.
Laura looked at Graven. "Do you have some books? I want to read before going to sleep," she said.
"Yeah, I have some books in the study room. The books were left by the previous owner of this house," he replied. "Follow me!"
The women followed Graven into the study room.
Inside the room.
Wow! There are two bookshelves filled with books of all types.
Laura inspected the book's title on the bookshelves. Based on her estimation, there are about 150 books inside the study room. She spent the next fifteen minutes perusing the title of the books. She picked up two books that she finds interesting to read. "I have finally chosen two books that I want to read!" she said. She looked at Graven. Thanks for this!" she told him.
"If you like it. You can have it. Since no one is reading the books here, it's yours from now on," he offered.
Laura's eyes twinkled in delight. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah!" he replied. "It's just gathering dust around here - you might as well enjoy it and bring it home with you!" he said. "If you like, I can send all these books to my father's mansion so that you can read them all," he offered.
"Wow! You're so nice, brother-in-law! Thank you in advance!" Laura said in a grateful voice.
"Don't mention it," he said.
"I'm going back to my room," Laura said merrily and left the couple in the study room.
After reaching her room, Laura went to the bathroom to have a quick bath.
Twenty minutes later.
She exited the bathroom wearing her pajama. She picked up the hairbrush and starts combing her hair while looking outside the window of her room.
Outside, there was darkness everywhere. The lights in the house are not enough to expel the darkness.
Laura was looking for the fireflies that gathered in the air in front of the terrace, sad, she can no longer find them. Where are they? She wants to see them again! Those fireflies brought a happy smile to her face.
Two hours went by.
Laura sat on the bed, reading a book in her lap while waiting for Rebecca to come to her room.
It was already 9:00 in the evening when Rebecca came knocking at the door. She was already wearing her sleeping attire.
"I'm here!" Rebecca announced enthusiastically.
Laura rose from the bed and opened the door. "Come in!" she said in a cheerful voice. She looked at the mirror that Rebecca was holding in her hands.
"I brought a mirror!" Rebecca said. She entered the room in high spirits.
"Just put the mirror on the table," Laura instructed.
Rebecca sauntered to the table and put down the mirror. "Here you are! Let me uncover your mystery tonight," she murmured, smiling at her reflection in the mirror.
She went to bed and sat beside Laura. "Are you sleepy now?" she asked.
Laura shook her head. "Not yet. I'm reading a book. Do you want to read one?" she offered.
Rebecca's eyes lighted up. "Sure!"
Laura rose to her feet and handed her a book titled: The Great Gatsby.
Rebecca accepted the book and flipped on the pages. "What are you reading? What is the title of the book?" she asked.
Laura showed her the book. "Here's the title~The Scarlet Letter," she answered.
"Nice!" Rebecca murmured. She began reading the book, trying to imitate Laura reading her book seriously.
A moment later.
Laura noticed that her companion wasn't really reading the book, just flipping the pages. She looked at her. "You don't like the story?" she asked.
Rebecca smiled and closed the book. "I can't read. I don't know how to read. The demon clans are not literate beings. As you know, we are not like humans who need to go to school and learn things," she grinned.
Laura laughed. "Ah, okay. If you're willing - I can teach you how to write and read. As long you're eager to learn and get yourself familiarize with the alphabet letters. Sooner or later, you will know how to read and write, which is easy as 123!" she offered excitedly.
Rebecca's eyes simmered in amusement. "That would be nice!"
"Do you want to learn?" Laura asked her earnestly.
"Yessss! I love to learn! If I can learn the alphabet, I'll be the first demon of its kind in this world who knows how to write and read just like humans! But I'm hard to teach!" Rebecca exclaimed and groaned.
"Don't worry, I'm a considerate teacher!" Laura smiled, loving the eagerness flashing on the woman's face.
Rebecca handed back the book to Laura and left the bed.
She went to the table where the mirror was located and stared at her reflection. She made a goofy expression while looking at herself in the mirror. "Which do you prefer, sleeping with the light on or off?" she asked.
"Ever since that mysterious spirit appeared in my life - I always sleep with the lights on in my bedroom," Laura replied.
"Ah, okay, I understand," Rebecca said.
Laura resumed reading the book.
While Rebecca was having fun making goofy faces in front of the mirror.
Several times, Laura glanced at Rebecca and witnessed her funny antics in front of the mirror and smiled with amusement.
A few moments later.
Getting tired of messing around with the mirror, Rebecca stood up and went to the window. She watched the surrounding of the house and looked beyond.
Two hours have passed.
Laura yawned, getting sleepy. She put the book on the bedside table and looked at Rebecca standing beside the window, still staring outside. "I'm getting sleepy. Aren't you going to sleep yet?" she asked her.
Rebecca looked over her shoulder. "I'm not sleepy yet. Go ahead, sleep well. Good night!" she said with a smile.
"Good night, Rebecca!" Laura said and lay her body down on the bed. She reached for the blanket and wrapped it around her body. She looked at Rebecca one last time before she closes her eyes to sleep.
Rebecca remained standing near the window, gazing at the shining stars above.
One hour later.
The clock on the wall strikes at midnight.
Rebecca left the window without closing it. She went to bed and settled herself comfortably beside Laura.
She stared at the ceiling for a long time. The fluorescent light was shining brightly. She glanced at the mirror, then at the window, back to back. She needs to be on alert mode.
She has no plans to close her eyes tonight, wanting to see Laura's mysterious admirer with her own eyes and uncover its identity.
One hour went by.
The hands of time strikes at 1:00 am.
Still... there's no sign of Laura's mysterious admirer coming out of the mirror.
Rebecca is getting sleepy, but she fought the sleepiness fiercely and forced her eyes to stay wide awake. No! She can't fall asleep tonight!
She rose from the bed and went inside the bathroom to splash water on her face. The water will help her eyes awake for another hour.
A few minutes later, she exited the bathroom and went to bed again.
She reached for the extra blanket and wrapped it around her body. She stared at the ceiling, then at the window, and finally back at the mirror.
Another hour passed.
Rebecca's eyelids were dropping fast. She opened them again quickly before sleep can take over her senses. She looked in the mirror and saw nothing!
Sighing, she stared at the window for a few minutes...then gradually her eyelids began dropping again...until she finally succumbs to slumber.
A few minutes later.
The light suddenly went out for a few minutes, then the light returned.
A guy wearing dark clothing was standing at the foot of the bed, watching the faces of the two women sleeping soundly in the bed.
The mysterious guy was staring at Laura's face for a long time with a deep longing in his eyes.
He opened his right hand - a single rose appeared in his palm. He walked towards Laura's side and placed the single rose on the bedside table above the book.
He stared continuously at Laura's lovely face for a few minutes.
And when Rebecca stirred in her sleep, the mysterious guy disappeared instantly from the room.

Laura died when she was a baby. Out of desperation, her parents agreed on a deal with the mysterious couple to bring her back to life. Her family left their village and hide in a far away place... with no intention of honoring the deal.

Twenty years later.

Mysterious black hooded cape men descended into their mansion. They hurt her father and abducted her sister, claiming that they're fulfilling the deal that took place a long time ago. Her sister can only be returned to her family ten days later, in one condition, she won't leave their town.

To protect Laura, her father entered another deal to marry her to the most notorious womanizing bachelor in the next town. The groom was the son of a powerful family, he has a questionable attitude and lacking in the looks department. Then she met the 'other' brother. He's handsome as hell and mysterious in so many ways, her heart beats crazily for him. And yet... he turns out to be something not human.

Her peaceful life descended into chaos, and so the story begins.

As soon as Ye Jie said this, everyone in the backyard froze.
"Well ... another ignorant young girl who has been fooled by Xiao Ruo's appearance." Qiao Chu couldn't help but laugh out loud. Rong Ruo's appearance was not of a gentle beauty, she had that extra heroic spirit. If she dressed as a girl, she was very beautiful, but if she dressed as a man, it made it impossible to discern her gender. 
In the Lower Realm, when Rong Ruo presented herself to others in men's clothing, she had also owed a lot of "romance debts". It caused her so much trouble that she had to switch back to women's clothing for a while. 
Fan Zhuo and others also laughed. Ye Jie was pure-hearted as until now, she was unaware of the fact that Rong Ruo was a woman.
Looking at the smiles on everyone's face, huge confusion shone on Ye Jie's face. She didn't know what she had said wrong. Why did they all laugh?
Ye Jie looked at Jun Wu Xie anxiously, "Miss, did I ... say something wrong?"
Jun Wu Xie shook her head lightly, "Xiao Ruo is a woman, but she likes to wear men's clothing in front of others."
Fortunately, Rong Ruo was a woman, otherwise if Ye Gu heard what Ye Jie said, that was it. 
However, instead of dissipating the bewilderment on Ye Jie's face, her confusion became even deeper. She looked uneasily at the crowd, and lowered her head a little.
Obviously ...
She was not wrong.
Rong Ruo returned to her residence after leaving the city's official residence. Jun Wu Xie had originally arranged for them to stay in the official residence, but her companions had the foresight and a clear view on things, and they were afraid of disturbing Jun Wu Yao and Jun Wu Xie from spending time together. Thus, they consciously declined Jun Wu Xie's kindness and each of them picked a residence within Sea Spirit City. 
The residence which Rong Ruo picked was not large, but she chose it because of the quietness. 
In the small courtyard, there was only Rong Ruo, no other servants were around.
Rong Ruo walked to her room, and sat down in front of the dressing table. The dressing table was empty. There was no rouge gouache, lotions or powder, neither was there any gold and silver jewelry which women loved. The dressing table looked like a brand new one.
Sitting in front of the dresser, Rong Ruo looked at her reflection in the bronze mirror.
Cheeks that were fair and clear, exquisite facial features, although it was not as perfect as Jun Wu Xie's, but there was also have a charming appeal, her forehead lacked a woman's softness, but there was a sense of brilliance and carefree. When dressed up as a man, at first glance of the person in the mirror, no one could guess that it was a woman in said guise. 
She had long been used to this kind of dressing; satin and silk, long sleeved gowns. For her, it was so strange and rarely useful.
Rong Ruo sat quietly in front of the dressing table, staring at herself in the mirror for a long time, her eyes were filled with deep troubles, her brows and forehead frowning with sorrow.
"Ah ..." After a long time, Rong Ruo couldn't help but sighed. She raised her hand and touched the coldness of the copper mirror with her fingertips. She looked at herself in the mirror, but it felt like she was looking at something on the side. 
"What should I do?" Rong Ruo's brow frowned slightly, helplessness and perplexity filled her tone.
Fei Yan's feelings, how could she not know?
However, the more serious he was, the more afraid she was.
She didn't know how to respond, and did not dare to respond ...
She could only pretend to not understand, to not comprehend. 
She just hoped that one day, Fei Yan would tire, would detest, or meet other women he admired and then everything would be over. 
"Little sis ... if it were you, everything would easy right ..." Rong Ruo stared at herself in the mirror with a bitter smile ...


She was a peerless genius in the 24th Century – all she needed was a silver needle and she could practically bring anyone back from the dead.

After an explosion, she crossed over into a strange world; everyone calls her “Miss.” The previous “Miss” before had no contractual spirit, was weak and incompetent, and even the fiancé comes over with a new love and bullies her?

Now that she has taken over, who dares to act so presumptuously around her? With needles in hand, the world is for her to own! Wherever she goes, miracles follow! However, she saved a pest. What was she thinking when she saved that man. His stunning demeanor and impeccable face is a huge contrast to his cruel actions. He tries all ways to win her over.

This is an interesting cross over story with some magic, romance and a black bellied miss as the main character.

The second phase started, and the people were more serious than the first. Two of the special items would be put on bids in this phase, and they couldn't let Xu Rouguang take everything. Of course, after the people shifted their attention from the movie king, Qin He was now more energetic in bidding. He was now only a face to make the paddle more noticeable, and it was thanks to Professor Di.
What made the second phase strange was that… Qin He wasn't actually trying to get everything. There were times when Xu Rouguang was signaling Qin He not to bid anymore. Well, it was because these treasures were perfect imitations and needed not to be 'confiscated' by Heaven. However, he was still letting Qin He bid first so the price would move up. It was some kind of help to Xie Erchen after all.
Out of these ten items, four were already imitations. The first special item was the ninth item to be auctioned off for this phase. The alluring model rolled in the item on a trolley, and the curator introduced this exquisitely carved golden mirror as an artifact unearthed from the remains of an imperial family. However, Lai Mingjie's eyes twinkled incredibly, and the smile on his face had gone maniacal.
It was the Heaven-Swallowing Mirror in the list Chartreuse had given. It was one of the most dangerous as it could function as a prison to souls and spirits alike. This mirror could even store spirit attacks and bounce them back onto the attacker. He then kicked at Qin He's foot gently as if a signal to go all-out again.
It's just that… the mirror was very beautiful. Most wives and girlfriends in the auction pinched their men to get the item for them. The women's burning eyes glanced at Xu Rouguang as if warning him to dare and fight with them for it. Just nice Xu Rouguang was also a wife at heart. Did he care about their sentiments?
"Our starting bid is $5,000,000, with increments of millions." The curator started the bid, but the price actually shocked Xie Erchen. Why was this one's starting bid triple than the figure he gave? Was this mirror really that valuable? He could only look at Xu Rouguang as the curator called out: "Do I hear $5,000,000?"
Almost half of the tables raised their paddles, and the price just kept on rising higher and higher. The curator's smile was getting deeper as well. The owner of the auction house changed the prices just now after taking a second look at the items. He must have known that the wives were going to fight to the death for such a very exquisite mirror. His glance would go from time to time towards Xu Rouguang's table as if daring him to win.
The bids had gone to $17,000,000, and the fight was somehow getting paler. The families couldn't fork out that much for a single item, especially that it wasn't the Dragon Empress Necklace. For now, they could only concede. Qin He was about to raise his paddle for $18,000,000, but someone tending to the phones just called out.
"$25,000,000!"
The bid made everyone silent. They didn't know who that was, but it was from the VIP lounges. For a second, everyone thought that no one was willing to continue. Even the bidder from the upstairs lounges sipped on her wine, feeling victorious. The golden mirror would be hers, and she would even outbid Xu Rouguang who was practically quite a figure to the families of the capital.
Xu Rouguang didn't like the smug, ridiculing look on her face since he looked for the bidder. He was itching to top it off with another ten million, but Lai Mingjie raised his hand. "$26,000,000!"
Qin He was shocked by the fact that Professor Di called out a figure as if he owned the money. Then again, if an expert like him wanted the mirror, then it must be very valuable. Xu Rouguang, however, was unhappy about the increment. He even whispered to Lai Mingjie, "Why just one million? We could have made it ten..."
"Relax, let's play the game." Lai Mingjie waved his hand at Xu Rouguang without even looking at him.
The exchange looked the opposite to the bidders. They actually thought Xu Rouguang was angry because his companion challenged the high bid. Perhaps, they were already running out of fuel. This made the veteran bidders chuckle in their seats. Even this Xu Rouguang was a beginner in auctions; what a waste.
"$27,000,000!" The man on the phone called out again. Everyone took in sharp breaths; someone started a war in the prices. Now, they could only be entertained by how much money these two giants could fork out.
"$28,000,000!" Lai Mingjie took the paddle from Qin He.
"$30,000,000!"
"$32,000,000!"
The man on the phone made a strange expression and then raised his paddle. "My client is complaining to the curator. Table 36 sounded like they were only trying to raise the price!"
The curator somehow felt the same as well. Then again, since the man on the phone spoke loudly, Lai Mingjie responded, raising his paddle and laughing out as if he was having fun. "Hey, I'm not spending forty million on something I can get for less! You either go $33,000,000 or concede!"
"Bastard!" The woman was viewing the lower floor through her one-way mirror wall and pounded on it in anger. She then glared at the face and etched it deep in her memory. "I will find you, and I will destroy you!" She picked up the phone and roared at it, "$45,000,000!"
"...$45… $45,000,000!" The man on the phone was scared by the murderous tone of the woman from VIP Lounge 3. Even everyone was shocked. Since Lai Mingjie had given a price that could be treated as his ceiling price, the client actually went above it. The people would probably clap at this client if ever she settled the battle and won the mirror, gracefully snatching it from the hands of Xu Rouguang.
As for Table 36, Xu Rouguang then reached out to steal the paddle from Lai Mingjie, but the 'professor' was trying to fight for it. Everyone thought that Xu Rouguang was stopping the other person from bidding again. Before the curator could count down, Lai Mingjie just gave up and let Xu Rouguang raise the paddle himself.
"$60,000,000!"
Bang! The woman's body was sent into spasms and fell to the floor. She couldn't believe that Xu Rouguang was actually aching to kick her ass instead. She then started screaming in anger as she almost tore the couch apart, crying her makeup off. "I won't let this go! I won't let this go!"
Xu Rouguang hid his evil grin as he placed down the paddle, ignoring how Lai Mingjie curled down and concealed his laughter. The other people and even Bao Tengce couldn't help but gulp down the lump in their throats. Xu Rouguang had gone up to $60,000,000 for a major item, and it's not even the Dragon Empress Necklace just yet. How much higher can this table go for that item then?
The curator, however, didn't believe that they have unlimited money. He cleared his throat and started the warning before declaring it sold to Table 36. Immediately, he had the girl roll in the next item. Everyone saw the very exquisite, gold-decorated, and hand-painted tea set, but it was not a treasure in the old world. Well, technically, it was just a high-quality tea set used by the immediate family of the rulers of the clans.
Qin He even squinted. 'That looks like the tea sets in Lotus Villa. Maybe if I can touch it, I can tell the difference.'
"Oh, very nice." Lai Mingjie commented. They wouldn't bid on this one solely because it wasn't a treasure… and Xu Rouguang could just ask for some from his father if he wanted the wares of Heaven. There's really no need to bid on this one, but it was one of the major items. He then turned to Xu Rouguang who was looking troubled. "Deciding whether to raise the price on that one or not?"
"Not really, but it's really remarkably preserved. That thing is very breakable." Xu Rouguang frowned. "Could it be that Mr. Xie actually found a spatial ring and activated it? How though?"
Lai Mingjie pouted a little and remembered something. "Oh, yeah, immortal shops sell those ball things that contain heaven and earth energies, enough to activate restrictions. Maybe a few balls are enough to refine and open up a ring once." He had used an item that could give such an effect back in Crimson City, under Bingxing's instructions when they were avoiding suspicion from the immortals.
Xu Rouguang only snorted. He wanted to sneer and open an old wound, but the three others could hear them. If they heard them talk like that, wouldn't they believe that the two were not just colleagues? Moreover, Qin He was here; as much as he knew, this man wasn't Xu Rouguang's legal husband.
For the first time, Table 36 didn't bid on an item. They avoided the tea set because they made too much noise with that mirror. Lai Mingjie felt that if they made a bid, the other people wouldn't bid anymore. It would be a waste to spend millions on something Lai Mingyan could just make off with from Cloud Fortress.
"They calmed down..." The one who bought the tea set was relieved. He was scared that Xu Rouguang would snatch the tea set that his mother wanted so badly. Chairman Xu had made a lot of wives cry earlier that he was so happy his mother wouldn't be one of them.
The auction came to a break again, and almost everyone left to make calls to check on their thresholds. The one item had gone up to sixty million already. It would be a bloody battle for the remaining three. The man who bought the tea set went to Table 36 after everyone had paid for their items. He smoothed his suit and walked up to Xu Rouguang. "Chairman Xu, I'm CEO Chen from Chen-Ren Industries. I bought the tea set earlier."
"It's nice to meet you, CEO Chen." Xu Rouguang wasn't snobbish to the polite people so he went with the formalities. "Is there a reason why you're looking for me?"
"Ah, I just wanted to know why you didn't bid for the tea set. Everyone will know about the price of the mirror. It would be strange if you didn't want the tea set just the same." CEO Chen was honest about his thoughts. Playing a game with the Lais was nothing his saturated company could afford. "It's such a shame to miss out on such an intricate piece, don't you think?"
Xu Rouguang made a strange face. "...but I have lots of those."

A love story hidden in the depths of despair and forsaken memories…
