Just a bunch of writing assignments from school that I thought I should post on my Wattpad.

Winter break was only a few days away now, and this knowledge, coupled with the thought that everyone would be moving up a grade, increased the excitement in the classroom. The children were excited for the start of another break, while teachers dreaded the soon-to-come increase in paperwork. Diligent teachers would have already finished editing last year's student records and writing up student evaluations and progress reports, but most usually ended up procrastinating until the end of the year, resulting in a mountain of paperwork that now included everything that normally came with, well, the end of the year. Student records, after all, pertained to every student in the school, and there was even more paperwork involved for students graduating or moving up a grade. The decreased number of students meant that more experienced teachers made quick work of their papers, freeing enough time for them to plan out their break, but the others were left to slave away day and night trying to balance lesson plans and paperwork.

The teacher in charge of Class 1-3 was no different, and dark circles had settled under her eyes for quite a few days now. Nevertheless, she had still spend last evening sitting in her living room to watch TV, disregarding her pile of laundry and increasing paperwork, all because one of her own students, the school's celebrity and her own little pain in the neck, was making an appearance, all thanks to her tip to the broadcasting station. She felt almost obligated to watch, and honestly, she relished the opportunity to rest her tired mind and body. Even more honestly, she felt much too lazy to do anything.

Still, sitting there in front of the TV, waiting for the program to start, she felt a bit like some sort of mastermind, and she felt good knowing that this was her student. Perhaps all her colleagues or even parents would come to her tomorrow to ask all sorts of questions about her teaching methods, about how she taught a prodigy, or how prodigies studied. Maybe they'll even ask about what it's like to deal with a prodigies and all the pros and cons.

The program lasted 50 minutes, with Lucid appearing in a twenty minute clip. And yet, the more Hee Yeon watched, the more confused she felt. This wasn't the child she knew. The whole time, she mumbled to herself, "He's not like that. He's much more..." and scratched her head. The Lucid she knew was much more vibrant, more clever, and asked questions that she could never have imagined. He displayed a genius that had baffled her, and yet onscreen, he appeared to be no different from any smart kid on the block. After being introduced as a first grader with a keen interest in physics, he had passed a preliminary test with flying colors, which was amazing, yes. But then the IQ test results were revealed, and he had scored lower than most other children who were labeled as prodigies. Then they cut to a science high school teacher explaining some theories, and then went on to show Lucid being excited about an experiment. Hee Yeon knew that he was excited over the precise numbers and calculations, but the audience had no way of knowing that, and simply thought the experiment must have looked cool to a child his age. All in all, the program had done nothing to convey just how amazing and extraordinary Lucid was.

The science teacher had gone on to end the interview with a rather puzzled look.

"It's normal for elementary school children to be curious about their surroundings and and to want to learn more about science." he had said.

But it wasn't normal at all! He was the only one in Hee Yeon's class to even care about anything like that!

"But it's wonderful to see this curiosity being taken to the next level, to the point that he would take on more advanced topics in an effort to lean more about what he wants to know. That's not that common. The fact that he's still in elementary school is really quite a surprise." The interview continued.

But he wasn't just any elementary schooler! He's in first grade! He only started receiving education last year!

"Given his passion and willingness to learn, I'm sure we can expect great things from him. I, for one, am rooting for him."

Why won't they just admit that he's a genius? That he was amazing, a true marvel, and that everyone as a society should help him prosper??

Hee Yeon quickly grew bored. Perhaps her expectations had been too high, or perhaps she had mistakenly thought that she knew more about him that she actually did. The program ended like that, on a very, very boring note, and Hee Yeon found herself browsing through the program's forums, eager to see if others thought the same way.

"Is that the library kid from social media? He's cute."
"Is he mixed? Look at his nose. Damn."
"His eye color looks really strange. Is it because of the lights? Or am I going crazy?"
"A child who's into physics? That's sorta boring as a topic, isn't it? And today's show seemed really forced. Stop pushing kids to fit your definition of a prodigy."
"Do elementary schoolers really not know linear equations? Like, is he really the only one?"

Hee Yeon hadn't thought of it before, since she had grown accustomed to it, but it seemed that people were more interested in Lucid's looks. Most of the posts were about how good-looking he was, and the few posts that discussed his intelligence all seemed to agree that he didn't qualify as a prodigy.

In actuality, there weren't that many posts to begin with. Had the show failed to attract people's attention? Hee Yeon regretted her decision to watch it in the first place. She could have gotten so much done. Like her laundry, for example. Sighing to herself, she sat at her desk, once again focusing on her paperwork.

"Come on, Jang. We have a lot more children lined up. Let's get ready for the next episode."
"We just have to make sure the next episode is better. Don't let it get to you, and don't be so disappointed."
"Views aren't everything. We did well to show the issues with today's education system. It's alright. Don't sweat it."

The last to visit him had been Nayeon, the youngest writer. She looked like she was about to cry, apologizing with a trembling voice. They had avoided hitting the lowest views since the birth of the program, "Looking for Prodigies," but when compared to last week's episode of a child figuring out car models simply from the sound of the brakes and helping the police identify stolen cars, the views had dropped by 4%.

"You have nothing to apologize for." said Jang reassuringly. "It's my fault for not capturing it right."

Of course, their program relied much more on the topic and story themselves than on presentation, but that didn't mean that he could blame Nayeon for the episode flopping. If they had focused on his looks in the first place, the views would have been much higher, so in the end, it really had been an issue of presentation. Jang knew this was a reach, and he felt angry at how unfair this all was, but he also knew that it couldn't be helped. With the end of the year approaching, he would have to move mountains to schedule another shoot, and it was difficult to clean this mess up, as no one had predicted this would happen. Because it had been so unexpected, though, Jang had been able to get out of this without so much as a reprimand from the higher ups. That didn't make him feel any better though, and he couldn't bring himself to leave the editing room.

"Sir, I got it."
"Good. So, this is the footage?"

A man, roughly in his early 50's, received a file and a USB from his secretary.

"Yes, sir. We stopped it from going on air, in exchange for an advertisement. It's taken care of." The secretary reported, pushing up his gold-framed glasses. Given the nature of their product, airing an advertisement during a time where their main demographic was busy was nothing short of throwing money in the wind. Still, it was a necessary cost in order to carry out more secret dealings with broadcasting stations. This time was no different. The footage in question would have seriously hurt the company's reputation, so buying it out was a great gain for them. For the station, they clipped out a less than satisfactory video in exchange for an ad, resulting in a great gain there, as well. That Jang wouldn't be penalized for the drop in views was just a bonus.

"Did you get it analyzed?"
"Yes, sir. We've already conducted the first round of testing, comparing that footage to the video we got from the high school."
"First round?" the man asked, looking up at his secretary from the pile of documents in the file.
"I mean, the report was baffling for us all, sir. It was a general consensus that one analysis wouldn't be enough to fully comprehend the situation."
"So?"
"We will conduct more in-depth analyses and experiments. Our research team is on it, sir."
"What happens if the footage is real?"
"The experiment was only conducted three times, so the validity of the results is dubious at best. But if we were to assume they are accurate... Then whatever they used is seven times more effective than our product, sir."
"Seven times..."
"If even a second of that footage had been broadcasted, it would have caused enough uproar to flip our entire industry around."
"That data, though... It can't possibly be real, can it?"
"No, sir. Even our researchers are doubting it. We tested all the products they used even before the episode aired, and it just isn't plausible that such results would pop up all of a sudden. But we can't dismiss it, either. We have a few people determined that the footage is unaltered and real."
"..."

The secretary cleared his throat and straightened up a bit.

"For now, we should leave it to our researchers. I will report their findings as soon as we get more information."
"Do they know?"
"The other company? No, sir. It's a stroke of luck that we found out about it in the first place. Remember Director Park's son? He was there during the experiment, and he contacted us as soon as he realized something was off."
"I'll have to meet up with him, have a drink or something." the man grumbled, tapping the USB against the desk as he thought. "Oh, and figure something out for a scholarship. And tell those researchers that I want results quick."

So many requests, and all over the place, too. The secretary bowed his head in understanding and left the room.

Winter break brought along another exciting event: Christmas. The institute was alight with decorations and fairy lights, having been set up as early as the beginning of December. The small, decorative trees were covered in lights, and the hallways inside were lined with paper flowers and garlands. All in all, Christmas was no different in the institute than in any other part of the city. The many volunteers and welfare facilities helped set up a wonderful Christmas spirit, and the children were also spending their days in a flurry of excitement and anticipation for their presents and other fun events.

Lucid was also enjoying himself. The TV program had renewed his interest in physics, and he was now looking forward to studying more in-depth about it. Still, the filming itself had been a dull affair. He found it much too inefficient, what with having to go from place to place and wait around for this and that. If only he had spent that time reading, then he could have at least learned new things.

But something even more exciting than all that had appeared at the institute.

"Whoa, look at that. So many!"
"Are there comic books here?"
"Ugh, only plaster face reads this stuff. Whatever."

A library opened inside the institute.


<Clash (6)> End.

A boy who was living an ordinary life in another world suddenly came to the present world.

Social systems, way of life and morals... They have all changed.

How will the boy try to survive?

What kind of life will the boy live?

Chapter 4. Essay competition (2)

On Friday, everyone in the school was more excited than usual. It wasn't just one class but the whole school was excited about the idea to leave early.

There were many students who had already made plans to go to karaoke or a movie with their friends. Several couples had also made plans to go on dates.

It was like nobody cared about the essay competition. It was just a trivial matter for them.

"It looks like winning would be easy."

Kei said to Ren while standing besides him.

"It looks like you have prepared hard for the contest."

"Yeah, I am reading and writing different types of essays for a week now."

Kei said looking a little proud of himself.

"Why are even giving this much value to a essay competition?"

"I told you right, I just wanted to give writing a chance."

"Do you really think you can win this competition?"

"I don't know. I will only know after the competition."

"Yeah, well good luck for the competition."

"Good luck to you too."

Kei said as he indulged himself in a book. It was a light novel to be exact.

Various people will think that Kei was being carefree, reading a light novel before the competition but only Ren knew that Kei had a habit of reading light novels whenever he is nervous.

Ren also didn't disturb him and started glancing around the classroom.

He noticed that most of the students had already decided what to write and some were discussing what to write with their friends.

They all had excited expressions not because of the essay competition but because they will be able to leave early today.

At that moment, the door opened and the teacher entered with a stack of papers.

The entire class fell silent seeing Shiki sensei entering the classroom. The essay competition was basically a test, requiring every homeroom teacher to oversee their respective classes.

"Take one and pass it to the person behind you. You may begin as soon as you receive your paper." 

Shiki sensei said as he passed the papers. Ren received the paper from the person in his front.

The paper was white and there were topics to choose between for the essay. There were various topics like friends, family, teachers, love, school, animals etc.

'What do I choose?'

Ren wasn't able to choose between the topics. He wasn't taking the essay competition seriously in the first place but he didn't knew what you write.

He glanced around at the classroom only to notice that excluding him, all the classmates were writing. Even Kei was writing something.

Some students were also whispering among themselves asking each other what they are going to write about. Shiki sensei didn't say anything to their behaviour.

He wasn't known for being strict in the first place, so he just let them do it.

Ren glanced around at his paper trying to find a topic he wanted to write about. As he was searching for a topic, he vision got struck on a topic at the very corner of the paper.

'Genius.'

It was a topic that didn't stand out much and Ren knew that many people will not write about this topic.

But Ren felt a connection to this word. It was a word that was stuck closely to his previous life.

Thinking about that word, Ren had a sudden impulse to write. It was a entirely different feeling. At first, he didn't take the competition seriously but now he just wanted to write.

It was a impulsive feeling to write but Ren didn't do anything about it. Before he knew it, he had a pen in his hand and his hands were writing something.

It's been quite a few days since he had came to this world but Ren hadn't write about anything. 

He knew that he had said that he will start his second life as a author if he got the chance but after coming to this world, Ren didn't have a impulse to write.

He didn't wanted to write anything half-assed only to fail again. He also wanted to take sometime to adjust to his new life.

Another reason was that he wanted to relax for sometime. In his previous life, he was continuously working, so he wanted to relax for a bit.

He also needed time to adjust to his new life. Due to these reasons, he hadn't wrote anything after coming to this world.

You could even say he hadn't found anything to write about yet but as soon as he saw the word 'Genius', the words immediately started coming out and before he knew it, he had already written on most of the paper.

"Time is up. Submit your paper quickly."

As he was writing, he heard Shiki sensei voice which woke him up from his writing trance. 

Ren glanced around the classroom and noticed that most of the students had already left the classroom. The classroom was empty and there were only four people including Shiki sensei.

First one was Ren, second was Kei and the third was a student sitting in the first bench of the first row.

Ren wasn't able to see his face as he was still writing.

"Didn't you three hear me? I said that time was finished."

Shiki sensei shouted again and this time finally everyone stopped writing.

Kei and the student sitting in the front row hastily gave their papers to Shiki sensei and after taking their paper, Shiki sensei looked towards Ren.

"Amano, your paper."

"Ha….here."

Ren stood up as he hastily gave his paper to Shiki sensei. He didn't wanted to submit his paper as he had not completed it but he had no choice as the time was finished.

As soon as Ren submitted his paper, Shiki sensei left the classroom with the same stack of papers he had entered the classroom with, the only difference was that this time the papers were filled with words.

"Did your essay went well?"

Kei asked him as he came close to him.

"I don't know how it went but I wrote with my heart."

"My essay also went well. I am just worried about it's ending. I don't have enough time to complete it."

"What did you write about?"

"Oh, I wrote about dreams."

Ren didn't remember about that topic but there were a lot of topics and he didn't remember all of them.

"You unexpectedly stayed till the end, huh."

"What do you mean?" Ren asked confusingly.

"I mean, I thought you will just write something half-assed and left like the other students and I will be the only one left till the end."

"Well, I just wrote what came to my mind and you know, there is another person who stayed till the end."

Ren said as he glanced at the other boy who stayed till the end.

"Ah, that's Minami Ryuu."

"You know about him."

Kei looked at Ren with a confused expression as he said.

"How can you not know about him when you are in the same class and he is also very popular."

"Popular? Is he famous."

"Famous? That word isn't enough to describe him. He is super famous. He is handsome, his grades are one of the top and he always excels at sports. He is one of the most famous student in the school."

"Really?"

Ren again glanced at Minami who was packing his bag and preparing to leave.

'I admit he's handsome.'

He was indeed handsome. With brown hair and a sharp and handsome face, he indeed looked fairly handsome. 

"I wonder why that person stayed till the end."

"Maybe, he's interesting in writing."

When Ren said that, Kei had a weird expression as he said.

"It could be that but he is always with his group of friends and there are also rumours about him dating various girls. That type of person would rather spend his time going to karaoke with his friends than writing."

"I wonder but it isn't our place to pay attention to. Let's go home."

"Yeah, do you want to come to my house to play the new dating sim."

"No, I have something to do today."

Fame, wealth, prestige, genius, destruction, despair, loss and failure.

Those are the eight words which describes Ren's life completely.

He was hailed as a genius but his arrogance led him to despair. From a genius, he became a failure.

He was just struggling with his life when fate gave him a second chance.

Now, what will he do after he found himself waking up in another world.

After knowing the day for the entrance examinations, Amber went down to business not wasting even a second of her time.

During breaks from the part time job, she would be reading. Once she had done the set things she need to do in the hotel she would instantly return to her room and started studying.

Hayley and Alissa were both shock and motivated after seeing her take it seriously. They knew she was smart, she must have been an honor student, yet here she was studying diligently for the entrance exam. That's why they too, took it seriously.

After some hesitations, the two of them finally decided to go to her to study together and asks questions they didn't understand.

"Come on in then," Amber smiled as she opened the door for them.

There was a space between the elevator door and the door to the penthouse. This is so that when one arrives, you wouldn't be barging to the room without permission.

They were once again astonished, papers were pasted everywhere. The walls, the windows, the kitchen counter, the table, they're just everywhere.

What caught their attention though was a dart board across the sofa, a meter or so away from the main door. Pinned on it were darts and most of them were close to the center. This was a bit out of place for Amber didn't seem like someone who do darts.

Seeing their look she explained as she free up some space around the center table and the sofa.

"That's how I study sometimes. As I memorize and understand what I am studying I use darts to free up some tension in me."

'Though I used a different piece back then,' she added inwardly.

They nodded in understanding as they sat down around the table. After explaining their purpose, Amber readily accepted their request.

She was only studying hard to add more to what she knew. It doesn't hurt to be much more ready, right?

And since the three of them were on different departments, what the two wanted to study with her were more on the basic side.

"Shall we start then?"

*****

Buzzing noise could be heard all through out the campus, Amber looked around excitedly and found the place very beautiful. Just as what you'd expect from the most prestigious school in town.

Today was the day of their exams for the scholarship the three of them are applying to.

"The day we have been waiting for. I am excited but at the same time anxious, I wish I would pass and have my tuition be free. That's all I want," Alissa said as they enter the campus.

They became close after the two weeks they have spent together studying for the entrance exam, for the scholarship held on the first day of August. The class starts on the second week of September.

Currently all those who have the money were already enrolled and the remaining spots were for the scholars. Of course it would be based on ranking. If there are 10 slots left then the top 10 would be accepted.

"Don't be too anxious, the two of you have studied more than enough. Right now, all you have to do is to trust yourself and do your best," Amber encouraged her.

The two smiled and nodded their heads soon they have to go on their separate ways.

After entering the campus, all the buildings of different departments were on different parts of the campus and so they said their good lucks and went their own ways, deciding to meet by the main entrance after they're done with their own exams.

Amber looked around happily as she walk lightly. This was her first time in a school campus. She was home schooled ever since she was a child and so she never got the chance to enter one.

Who would have thought that she would be given this chance? And it was given to her on her last chance to enter a school.

She held unto the star pendant in her neck, 'Mom, Dad, this is my first step. I know you were just protecting me that's why I was always home schooled but right now I really am happy that I could experience school life.'

Upon arriving at the building for Computer Science, she was in awe. The whole building was magnificent enough and brought her the feeling of really being in school and becoming a student.

She looked like she was even skipping as she went inside and asked the one on duty where the examination would take place. The computer science building were at the center of the campus. It was also the most difficult one to enter especially for scholars. Since computer science was the main department of University A.

The man looked at her before pointing at the note posted on the bulletin board beside him. There it says that the examination room would be held at the second to the top most floor, basically the 3rd floor of the building.

She looked at the man and apologized before climbing up the stairs. It was still early for her. The examination would be at 10 in the morning and yet it is just 9. 

She still has an hour before it starts, so she started walking up the stairs on this side, she would then walk on the hall to the other side before walking up the stairs there. She was looking around the whole building, checking their rooms from time to time.

She arrived at the floor and wanted to check the last floor when she was stopped.

"Are you an examinee?" the one guarding the stairs asked.

Looking around she could tell that this was the only stair heading to the last floor.

"I am," she answered respectfully.

"This is the floor where the examination takes place. The last floor is off limits to every student other than the Student Council President," seeing as she was not arrogant at all and stood respectfully towards an elder, the guard answered calmly.

She is a scholar, but there are still those who were conceited enough and looks down on guards. This girl was polite and clearly it was not an act.

"Oh, I must apologize. I didn't know. Very well then, thank you very much for informing me," she then excused herself and finally entered the room. She sat down at the back most part before taking a deep breath and closed her eyes, waiting for the time to start.

She could hear people entering, some were reviewing others were chatting. She remained there sitting with eyes closed. Others would glance at her, since she's not moving she looks like a sleeping doll.

She felt someone tugged at her arm, "Why would they place a doll here? I want this sit why don't you move your doll?"

She opened her eyes and looked at the lady tugging at her arm. Those who saw her move actually screamed, while others actually fell from their sits. The lady who was tugging at her arm, screamed at the top of her lungs as she fell on the floor.

Amber covered her ears, it felt like her ear drums were ruptured by her shout, "I'm sorry but I am not a doll. I am also an examinee here."

'Aren't you a bit too much shouting like that? I am not a ghost, you know,' she added inwardly.

"What is going on here? Will all of you take your sits already?" what brought everyone back to their senses was when the teacher in charge entered and speak.

"Are you alright?" Amber could only stand up and stretched her hand out to the lady who was still sitting in the floor.

"I… I… I'm fine, thank you," she replied as she accepted Amber's hand and stood up.

She thanked her and hurriedly looked for a chair to sit on. Her conceited attitude a while ago was gone. The shock from suddenly seeing a doll move must have sent it away.

And the embarrassment that accompanied it turned her face red. She could only bury herself on her bag as she search for her pencil and ballpens.

Amber shrugged it off and sat down once again. The teacher handed the test questionnaires and gave them 2 hours to finish it. Looking at her own paper, Amber couldn't help but smile, these questions were too easy for her. Like an elementary level questions.

The questionnaire have different parts, having the basics as well. But a third of it were of computer science topics.

Questions regarding databases, or programming language or what kind of syntax is suitable for a certain program execution. But most of the questions were regarding the flow chart.

As she answered her pen flew through the paper like she was just writing a paragraph for her English class. And this actually caught the teacher's attention, for the others were having a bit of difficulty on some of the questions.

'The questions were just made by the Student Council President, it is impossible for her to know of it before hand. If she excels here then she must be a genius.'

"An eye for an eye."

The day she burried her parents, this became Amber's motto. Their family just wanted to live their lives the way they wanted. But the royals didn't want them to do so.

To fulfill a 3 year promise, their family travelled. But was then ambushed causing her parents lives. She survived and caused their car to explode as if it crashed, leaving within it three bodies, their clones. She then dragged her parents in order to burry them properly despite the location.

After finding out who they would be helping, she declared, "I'll help you if you marry me. 5 year engagement, 5 year marriage. You have no choice you can only accept it."

*****

"If they didn't want such a law abiding one, then we shall burry this company in the underground. They will regret ever taking action towards us."

Ashton declared and his already cold demeanor turned even colder and blood thirsty.

*****

After giving him a strong head butt, Amber pointed at him angrily, "Get your head straight and remember this, the reason why I am also here is to support you. The moment that contract was signed I have vowed to protect you as well."

"Haaay, my future is bleak and my money never stays in my wallet for weeks. How the hell am I in this situation? " 

Ellatrise grumbled to herself as she goes to work. 

Ellatrise is an independent woman, she was an orphan who pushed through life by hard work and talent alone. She does not ask her orphanage for support as she can support herself financially by having part time jobs in City A. Her daily activities are mainly studying, working several part time jobs and reading novels, mangas or watching animes on her free time If she ever have. She graduated in college and works as a teacher nowadays but she rarely goes outside after work, she is an introvert through and through. She can stay inside her house through the day without getting bored. She does not have any man who made her heart beat. The only ones who excites and make her happy is watching BTS, most especially her bias Jungkook. She is already old to be a fan but she cannot help herself. They are just so admirable in every things they do. They are almost good in everything and handsome to boot. After dreaming about them, being a fan day and night, her boring life continues. 

"Good morning, open your Purposive Communication book at page 78.

We tackled yesterday about the elements of human communication. 

Who can give me the seven elements in chronogical order and give me a brief explanation of each? 

No one? Salazar? Stroam? Volzkhi?"


Her students looked at each other, talking with only their eyes as they then all bow their heads as if understanding what the result of their silence is going to be. In their minds they are thinking, it's going to be a long, long day. 


 Her students often referred her as the embodiment of hard work or the female version of Snape. Because once she enters the room, she has this commanding presence on which you cannot help but straighten your back and listen to her as she teaches in front. She also will talk without interuption if ever she had something she did not like her students did. Her students often has earmuffs or earplugs hidden to stop or lessen the noise of her endless rambling. 


She had never imagined herself as a teacher when she was young. The professions she often envisioned herself as were engineers, doctors, architects, businesswoman and other high profile jobs. Well, her classmates never doubts her as she was really intelligent, in their elementary and high school, she was always on top. But in life, always expect the unexpected because she became a teacher even though she never liked children and she has no patience teaching others in the first place. 


" Is there no one who can answer my question? 

Didn't I just explained yesterday about this, how can you not know the answer?!


And the long speech is finally happening... For about thirty minutes she has been talking ceaselessly 


..." So you did not understand my explanation then, if that is so then from now on all the remaining topics will be reported by all of you. 

Class representative? "

" Yes, ma'am? " 

Answered the class representative 

" Allocate the remaining topics on your classmates, group yourself by 3 accordingly. "

" Understood, ma'am. "


 Then the bell rings... 


" Okay class, on our next meeting, be sure to be ready on your report. 

I want all of you to be ready to report on the day we meet again!" 



As she leaves her class, the students all sighed in relief. As the embodiment of doom finally left their presence. 

As Ellatrise entered their faculty. She sits on her desk and massaged her temple. 

"Haaish!!! If only I just spent my elementary and high school not so serious and being a loner, I may have had friends and maybe chose a better course if I had someone who can somehow put a word for me to have a scholarship. But I cannot depend on that because there are already so many who lined up for scholarships and they also have some sort of connection on the government like being relatives of those officials or employees. 

And now, look where it got me, a teacher???!!! 

What the heck! I never once thought of myself being a teacher. 

No offense meant for teachers for I am one myself right now but being a teacher just sucks. 

A not so enjoyable job, a low wage, lack of time to relax or have vacation, tiring job composed of teaching those students who do not seem to listen or anything, and most of all, I cannot save even a single penny for its barely enough to cover my daily expenses and I also cannot forget the orphanage, they have helped me so much, I owe them so much for what I have today."


And her endless rambling to herself continues as she went home. 


" It's true that I studied so hard in elementary and high school but that is because I have no choice, it was the only way for me to rise in the society ruled by those who are rich, powerful and have so many connections. Life is a rice, if I don't run fast, I'll be left behind. " 




 It was because I was too picky on my course that I was not sure what to take and also there are various reasons why it is not possible for me to take most of the professions. 

If I was going to be a lawyer, I might be killed and there will be many death threats, I can't live my life living in fear. 

If I choose to be a chef, I am not that good of a cook, I'm a foodie so that is not possible. 
If I choose to be a teacher for children, I might hurt the them with my measly patience, I will go to prison certainly with parents being too paranoid of their children. 

If I choose to be a stewardess, I'm not beautiful, graceful and I'm not proficient in applying make ups and if the plane crashes, I don't know how to swim, it's the same with being a marine. 

If I became an engineer or architect, I might not pass my exams because I hate math and I'm not good at it, also I might fall off the building while getting on higher floors and I also have a slight fear on heights. 

If I become an accountant, I will be the first victim if a thief comes running by and they might make me pay the losses. 

If I become a doctor, I will spend more or less ten years studying, I don't have the money and I don't like seeing blood and insides of people, it totally grosses me out.

If I become a nurse, there are too many already. 

Life is truly hard and most professions need so much money and that is the thing I do not have so much... MONEY!!! 

Even simple things at first might be really complicated, I may have never thought about it. 

But before I should have gone to college, I should have thought throughly what course I need to take. 

I should have considered my likes, my dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. 

I need to choose something I enjoy doing because apparently, I have to do that work for many years. 

But all was lost for a mistake I made. 

I was too conceited that I can take any course but the truth was, I only made my life harder. 

I just have so many issues in life, I often get depressed and be stressed. 

I have so many PROBLEMS, the orphanage, my work, my students, my personal life and funds. 

My life is so complicated... (sighs)

My life sucks...

I wish I can go back in time, rebirth, reincarnation, transmigration or whatever you call it like those novels I read on Webnovel, start life all over again, I wish I was born with a rich family even if the life of the rich seemed not so simple with all politics and underhanded schemes but I will have a family on my back, supporting me at all times and I will have less to worry. I can truly be happy and have a normal life with a husband and my own family. How great it would be to be born again with a rich and powerful family, with superior looks and intelligence to help me through but that's all fiction...things can never be reverted, mistakes cannot be undone and the past can never be changed... Oh how I miss those times... I wish I can go back, back to where it all begun and change my past... " 


As she complained, grumbled and cried all night about her life in her window, sitting and with a cup of coffee which already turned cold, looking up at the starry skies desolate with any stars in the dead silence of the night. And then suddenly, a shining, shimmering and dazzling shooting star passes by and her whole world suddenly turned dark.

In a world where men mostly dominates business, entertainment, fashion industry and many others, Ellatrise suddenly found herself being reborn as a baby in a family considered to be royalty. And being the only princess and the youngest in such a family, she will enjoy most of her life which she never experienced before and enjoy her every day to the fullest while exploring the world she now lives on.

Follow her journey as she gains fame without her family's influence and with only her beauty, charm, knowledge and talent to conquer the entertainment industry and the heart of the man of her dreams.

- Day of Imperial Examinations

It was early in the morning, everything seemed white and the morning mist filled the air. Not far away, a small boat was gradually reaching shore. Pei Zi Yun lit up a lantern, picked up his examination basket and headed towards the examination destination. 

“The seven counties belonging to this city, please line up according to your counties. And no shouting!” Three rounds of firecrackers could be heard being fired from within the school as someone was giving these instructions. 

They were lined up in this order, County School of Literature, Capital Schools and Middle Literature School.

The candidates all came from different schools, each with their own systems. The morning mist was cold and breezy as the stars remained in their usual constellations, echoing the seven Dao Ways. The students were all carrying their examination baskets as they proceeded to line up. 

Pei Zi Yun finally managed to locate his Slow River County line as he saw many candidates jostling and cramming in the queue, hands holding lanterns. He heard someone say from behind, “Brother Pei, you are here!”

Pei Zi Yun spun around and found that the person who was speaking to him was Tang Zhen, and he was with Scholars Wang and Li. They acknowledged his presence coldly and didn’t bother to even utter a word.

Pei Zi Yun was not bothered as he warmly greeted Tang Zheng before he too acknowledged Scholars Wang and Li with a smile, without speaking. A few days ago, the three of them had invited him out to a literary event. But seeing as the examinations were fast approaching, he declined. Tang Zhen did not seem to mind, but it was evident the other two were offended.

“With a heart and mind like that, it’s certain they would not be able to become Elementary Scholars.” Pei Zi Yun recalled how the two of them had expected some examination questions to be leaked at the literary gathering and scolded them for their stupidity inside his head., “At an event like that, the organisers would never discuss examination related affairs and risk compromising their reputation. Doing so would only cause a huge fraud case that would implicate themselves.”

When he met them, he still behaved with civility and exchanged a few words although nobody had any mood for small talk. 

Different venues were meant for different examinations. There were three tiers, to become an Elementary Scholar, to become a High Scholar and finally to become a Grand Scholar. The present arrangements were very different from the original owner’s own imperial examinations. But that was normal, it would have been strange if it was exactly the same. 

Scholars don’t have the authority of skipping the poetry section in the examinations, and so the magistrate had to make frequent trips into the city to teach poetry. There were strict selections held for the positions of patrolling officials and examiners. There were eventually only 33 selected due to the strict criterias. 

Boom boom boom! The drum sounded.

The huge doors slowly opened.

The scholars flooded the halls. 

Pei ZI Yun recalled his first tier examination he had taken to become an Elementary Scholar and thought to himself, “here it comes!”

After reporting for the exam, he was given a handbook and an examination plate number. The examiners first checked their guarantors letters, and then scrutinized their features before double checking against their descriptions to ensure it was them who were taking the examinations.

After the identity of the candidates had been confirmed, the next procedures were the checks. 

The examination baskets were being checked first, followed by the ink and paper materials. They would even open the buns and sandwiches brought to prevent cheating materials being smuggled in. 

Pei Zi Yun had experienced examinations before and knew that food was allowed in the hall. He knew to not bring in greasy food because it would because it could spoil easily, and would cause a mess upon inspection. Greasy food could also cause a stomach upset, which was not desirable. So he brought some pastries and eggs, and was planning to rely on them to provide water.

Next they had to undress and remove their shoes. Even their hair had to be checked. 

The candidates took their turns to be checked and soon it was Pei Zi Yun’s turn. After the checks were conducted, the examiners would affix a stamp to prove that this procedure had been conducted. The examiner then shouted, “Take your respective seats!”

Pei Zi Yun took his confirmation slip and proceeded to the hall. The confirmation slip had his seat number and had a stamp on it as well. Should a fraud be detected in the hall, the examiners would immediately conduct investigations. 

Once he entered the great hall, he had to search for his room number. Within the hall were several smaller rooms joined together. It was the same for the rooms across. The distance between the rooms across from each other was about the space of five meters. And the rooms went on for as far as the eye could see.

Inside the smaller rooms were a small bed, a table and a chair. There were three candles on the table and a bowl of water to clean the quills.

“Aye, the conditions here are better than that of the previous tier examinations with the additional bed.”

This was probably because the first tier examinations only lasted for a day, whereas the examinations to Elementary Scholar would take two days. It had been rumoured that the examinations to attain High Scholar status takes three days. 

Pei Zi Yun carefully placed his inkstone on the table. Across him was a youth who looked to be around 25 or 26. As soon as everyone was seated, an announcement was made, before a final patrol was conducted by officials. A bell rang as the examination papers were being distributed.

As soon as Pei Zi Yun received his examination papers, he noticed that they had provided additional scrap paper for drafts to be written. Pei Zi Yun lit his candle. The sun had just risen, but the room was still dark. He took a quick look at the entire paper and realized there were no questions that looked especially difficult, before relaxing. 

His experience with examinations in his previous life thought him there if there were any issues with the examination papers he should immediately raise it up and the papers could still be changed. If there was an issue and it was not raised beyond a particular point, a change in paper might not be allowed. Nobody knew what would happen then. 

When he finished looking through, he thought to himself, “This is much harder than the first tier examinations.”

In the first tier examinations, many examples were being provided.

The justice segment required blanks to be filled in, which was easy. However, the economics section memory writing. The testing officials will randomly pick a chapter from the texts and provide the first line. According to this first line, the candidates have to continue writing the rest of the text.

In this examinations, there was also the justice and economics section. There were five questions for justice, and twenty questions for economics. The scale had increased tremendously from the previous examinations. The point of this segment was to test memory skills. Since the original owner had a good memory, and he had been through this particular examinations, Pei Zi Yun was confident and had no difficulties. 

Next up was calculus and law.

“Aiya, the subjects in this dynasty are much more practical than in the previous dynasty!”

Calculus involved being able to count properly. Law required understanding of basic laws. Although the scale was not large, it was not limited to just the four books and five classics. 

“All these seem quite easy.” Calculus involved memorising formulas and law relied heavily on formulas as well. Using the original owner’s memory, he breezed past. 

“Let’s do these questions first!”

He noticed that the sky was already bright. Raising his head, he noticed that the candidates across him looked very sluggish. Pei Zi Yun smiled and dipped his quill into the ink and started writing his answers for on the scrap paper before carefully writing it onto the actual answer scripts. 

“For such an examination, those who write their answers directly onto the actual answer scripts are either geniuses or impulsive candidates.” As he finished the questions for this examination paper, he sighed and felt his entire back was wet with perspiration. He took a towel out and began to clean himself dry. He noticed that the youth across him looked pale and tired as if he was almost going to pass out. 

“Ah! It is noon.” In the blink of an eye, noon was here. Pei Zi Yun drank some water and had some pastries. He peeled a couple of eggs and ate them before having some of his lean meat. Although the food was already cold, he could not ask for more. After his meal, he rested for a little while before moving on to the big questions.” 

“The next topic is Confucius philosophies and is the main component of the examination. There are three questions.” 

The Confucius philosophies question discussed the arguments surrounding the philosophies. Pei Zi Yun looked at the first question, ‘How vast was his virtue, that no man could find words to describe it? How glorious was the elegant regulations which he instituted?’

“This question has to do with the norms of society!” Pei Zi Yun thought to himself. This was spoken by Confucius of someone very great.

With the knowledge of the old High Scholar, he had an answer. 

‘In essence, to praise a predecessor of his great works and contributions. Its origins are from the classics and speaks of Emperor Yao who did good things with great advisors to achieve success.’

‘To continue, it was describing what happened in the dynasty before, where the Emperor was loyal and faithful to his subjects, so as to encourage his advisors to do likewise.’

With this discussion, he had a solution to the question, “That was accomplished with a spurt of energy!”

This solution has to be written in a concise and fluid manner in order to score well. Pei Zi Yun thought for a moment before starting to write his thoughts. All was going well!

As he finished writing, he put the scrap paper aside and proceeded to the next question.

‘Keep old friends around, to prevent loneliness in future!’

This question was very obvious. It spoke of someone writing to his son, telling him that it is important to keep old friend’s close so as not to demand perfection of them.

As soon as Pei Zi Yun saw this question, he subconsciously slapped his head a few times. This made a sound and the people around him turned around as an examiner walked over to him.

“Do not be complacent, do not be complacent.” The subject of this question was from an old Elementary Scholar who did not manage to become a High Scholar. These thoughts were his regrets, and thus told his son not to abandon his friends and not to expect them to be perfect. Pei Zi Yun had practiced writing this topic many times and it was clear in his memory. It was almost like copying the answers, guaranteed to score well.

With luck this good, he could cry tears of joy. When Pei Zi Yun looked at the questions, numerous essays floated into his mind waiting for him to choose one to write. The minute he started, he did not stop until it was completed to perfection. 

He blew onto his writing to dry the ink and nodded his head in satisfaction thinking, “I did not have to put in much energy into answering this question. Maybe just a little sore from writing.”

As with just now, he shelved his scrap paper and looked at the final question.

“Water, Fire, Metal, Wood and Earth, discuss!”

“The question towards the end was always the hardest. Pei Zi Yun frowned and knew that this question had some difficulty to it. 

‘Water can be used to irrigate and fire can be used to cook. Metal can be used to cut and wood can be used to make items. Earth is used for growing crops. These are natural elements given to us by the heavens to sustain life.’

“All these had been mentioned in the three important manuals of survival.” 

As soon as Pei Zi Yun thought of the answers to the question, he started writing. Although the speed which he wrote was not as fast this time, it was not slow as well. He rubbed his eyes and realized it was already evening.

Pei Zi Yun felt slightly dizzy as his sweat stained his clothing. He arranged his papers and lit another candle. The entire examination hall was filled with the smell of burning candles. The examiners also started lighting the torches in the hall one by one. 

The head examiner took an entire team of officials to patrol the hall. Pei Zi Yun felt hungry at this point, and without a care in the world, he gobbled his food. The head examiner looked at him with raised eyebrows and laughed. 

Pei Zi Yun looked down as he was deep in thought. When the patrol team had finished walking down his lane, he counted the remaining time. Today was just the first night, if there was any writing he had not completed, it could be done tomorrow. Seeing the scripts had been dried of ink, he arranged them, blew out the candle and lay on the wooden bed. He took out a blanket he had brought and put it over himself.

Just before he went to sleep he looked at the youth across him once more. He noticed that he was still working under the candle light. Pei Zi Yun shut his eyes and fell asleep amidst the rustling sound of paper.

“It is different once I have the Plum Blossom.” He did not know why, maybe it was an effect of receiving the host, but all he had to do to fall asleep was to close his eyes and take a few deep breaths and he would enter sleep. This time in the examination hall was no exception. He lay down, and a few minutes later was snoring softly. 

At this point, a patrolling official walked past and was stumped. The examination atmosphere was tense. Although once night came surely there would be some candidates who have decided to rest, majority would be tossing and turning in their beds unable to sleep. This candidate however was sound asleep. Was he that confident or had he already given up, thus feeling bliss?



Earth Immortals are cultivated from a blessed land,
Heaven Immortals move to and fro from the divine mountains.
I have a stalk of plum blossom, and I shall maraud the Will of the Heavens with it!

January 9, 2020

Because of my entrance exam on Baguio (again), I'll be on the leave for 2 days coz I'll be staying in Baguio for two nights with my friends. I don't usually write when my friends are around, because I lack confidence when writing this shit, especially I'm a terrible writer, and I'm with a person that I really hate. Let's call him Morty of the Proud, no reference to Rick and Morty, though. 

Morty is my friend back in elementary until junior high school. I've really hated him to the point where we became enemies. Things smooth out when we became classmates in senior high school. We both have no option, since we know each other and we are classmates since birth. But fuck in the seven hells, his attitude never changes. I've told him so many times that he needs to fix his attitude, but my Gregoritas, he still reverts back to normal. I dunno what's with his problem, but he's so annoying, proud, and self-centered. 

What's worse is his biased attitude towards me and other people. I've always told my friends to be careful with Morty's attitude, but fuck, Morty's too kind to them. I've been a great friend with Morty back in elementary, but dude, my kindness was too abused to the point that I realized that I've been slaved. I can't escape, and I'm not an alpha male back then, because I have a fear of hurting other people's feelings. I've been too much of a pussy nice guy before, and I dunno what of today. 

Anyways, I've soon forgetten Morty's presence today, since we've been both in different section (Yay!). Sadly, tomorrow, I'll be with him travelling to Baguio. I have no more option, but to be with him, since my solely goal in this trip is to take the San Pablo College Examination (San Pablo is a fictional name). I don't wanna fuck with his life again, because I won't gain anything, only swears from him. Back in elementary, he always swears a lot to me as if he's my boss, but not frequent today, since we only meet less frequently. 

As of now, we are in a stable and good  friendship. Sometimes, I get pissed off at his attitude, but it doesn't hurt me anymore. He even helped me one time with the payments in San Pablo. Yeah, he's still a good friend, especially when he needs something.

I have more to rant about him, but I can't think properly anymore because I just finished our research. It was only a few adjustments needed. I'll just talk about Morty in the near future when I clashed at him again. He's like one of the neutral antagonist of this story. 

I'm really fucking sleepy again, and I need to sleep so that I have the energy to proof read my research and go to Baguio. I'm also coming to Baguio with my classmate, Choco of the Tough (not his real name) and his friends from outside. I didn't expect to be with them, but as far as I can tell, they are crazy, and it'll be a lot of fun bonding with them. One person even has Tinder in his phone, searching for San Pablo college students. So yeah, good night, and maybe, see you on Sunday.

The daily adventures of Greg, a lazy procrastinator who is battling against his anxiety and depression.

Zhou Wei also thought about the preciousness of her original aspiration of focusing on her studies. He did not want her to come into contact with this circle that was full of sychophants and cheaters. He did not want her to be corrupted when her heart hadn't settled down yet. That was why he only brought the trio along.
However, the entertainment industry wasn't a place that lacked topics for gossip. They would be able to dig up endless topics even if they didn't have any.
Yun Xiangxiang was standing in the limelight and didn't lose out to the best actors and actresses. This was due to her outstanding appearance as well as her momentum early in the year, not to mention her performance last night and her getting an award in the end. The reports about her were written in great detail the next day.
The unexpected interlude with Milles and Ruo Feiqun gave numerous people some space for imagination. It was mostly praise for the appearance in the beginning. Topics like stunning the king of actors were quite a lot too.
There was also praise for her numerous talents, such as superb drawing and knowing French. Some other topics included praise for her acting skills. After all, she did get nominated for best female lead, even winning the Best Newcomer Award.
There were praises everywhere. If anyone were to create a writeup to praise Yun Xiangxiang now, nobody would read it. Just as Yun Xiangxiang was getting hyped up to ridiculous heights, someone stood up and criticized her severely.
They started by criticizing her disrespect for the film festival by labeling her attire as cheap. This piece successfully attracted readers amidst the monotonous sea of praises.
For reasons unknown, there was actually quite a lot of discussion on this topic. Some disagreed and thought that being neat and pretty was enough for the dress.
Some agreed and argued that not every attendee was Chinese as it was an international film festival. Thus, every participating actress represented China. They argued that Yun Xiangxiang's disregard shamed China in front of foreigners.
Yun Xiangxiang didn't care about the endless arguments. At this moment, Qin Yue posted a status on Weibo.
[Qin Yue V: To all the Xiangxiang skeptics [JPG][JPG][JPG].....]
What Qin Yue posted was the official retail price for Yun Xiangxiang's attire during that night. Everybody was shocked. Yun Xiangxiang's attire wasn't officially recognized by any big luxury brands. Even so, the cheapest accessory demanded over four thousand yuan! That was only the shoes! The other accessories and dress totaled up to a figure that exceeded four hundred thousand yuan!
The critics who said Yun Xiangxiang shamed the Chinese shut up. A lot of the more naive fans of Yun Xiangxiang thanked Qin Yue under her Weibo post. Some even apologized for accusing her of stealing Yun Xiangxiang's limelight earlier in the year.
Everyone felt that Qin Yue was quite a good lady. However, someone posted a Weibo status that very afternoon when everyone's excitement had yet to abate.
[The Rich Flaunting Their Wealth V[1]: What kind of heart lies beneath the resplendent exterior of the entertainment industry?
She is only a newcomer who played in a small budget film. The most she got as payment should be around two to three hundred thousand yuan. She has no sponsor and no product endorsements. Under these circumstances, she was actually able to don a four hundred thousand yuan outfit to attend an award ceremony.
It is said that the newcomer had a father who is a high school teacher and is the sole breadwinner of the household. The mother is a full-time housewife. The family also had a younger son who was currently in elementary school. I am very curious about the reason behind the loss of the normal mindset that a high school girl should have. Instead, she embellishes herself with pretentious gowns and shiny jewelry.
This reminds me of a case that caused an uproar during that time. That maniac actually forced her father to sell his kidney just to pursue her idol! The actions of the teenagers in this society are going in a direction that is increasingly worrying.]
This Weibo post appeared during the peak of Yun Xiangxiang's popularity. It immediately gained widespread attention and was reposted by various verified influencers. Even though the post did not point out any names, it still instantly pushed Yun Xiangxiang to the forefront of criticism. Her integrity was quickly questioned by the masses.
All of this happened when Yun Xiangxiang was on a flight. By the moment she disembarked, the post had become the most trending topic. It completely overshadowed the topics where she was praised. Yun Xiangxiang only found out about it due to Song Meng's emergency call.
Most of the comments under the post were accusations. Some of them were so vulgar, even talking about them proved to be tough.
She scrolled through Weibo and a flash of ice-cold glint flitted through her eyes.
It was fortunate that her mother was prohibited from touching any electronic products this month; while her dad didn't even register for a Weibo account. If not, the results would be disastrous if they were to see this.
Yun Xiangxiang got into the car. Judging by the relaxed and jovial tone of her father who was the driver, he obviously didn't know about the news yet.
She did not deal with it immediately. Instead, she replied to her father's words with a smile on her face. She sorted out her things when she got home. She even took a shower before lying on her bed and observing the abuse that was getting more severe online.
I should call Han Jing first.
Han Jing was making the final preparations for the filming in Sichuan and received no phone signal in the mountains. Her assistant immediately told her about the furor happening on the Internet after she came back. She was just going to call Yun Xiangxiang. However, she received a call from her first.
"Teacher, can I take a photo of our contract and post it online? I am just going to post the date of signing with you." Yun Xiangxiang still wanted to obtain Han Jing's approval before doing this, even though it wouldn't be a breach of contract.
"Yes, you can. I'll post a status later. Free publicity." Han Jing naturally wouldn't let any opportunity escape. This was because she wasn't just going to shoot a promotional movie now. Her film was going to start shooting soon. There was nothing to hide from the public.
Yun Xiangxiang made her move after getting Han Jing's permission.
[Actress Yun Xiangxiang V: First of all, I thank Miss Qin for finding out the details of my attire. Since they are not luxury brands, even I didn't manage to find out their full price. I shall remember your deed of righteousness @Qin Yue.
Secondly, I would like the people who are mourning for the teenagers to set your minds right. No matter how ridiculous teenagers can be, we can still chalk it up to youthful ignorance.
However, as an adult, you did not even try to understand the whole truth. You did not even try to ask for evidence. You only based your uncorroborated accusations on the guesswork of your imagination. In the end, the one who will be shamed will only be you. @The Rich Flaunting Their Wealth V.
Do I have to photograph my earnings every day and post it in detail for you? However, you did guess my compensation for my last film correctly. Did you guys leak it out @Zhou Wei @Wei Shanshan…
Lastly, the poor might not die from starvation. It might just be because of the hatred and vengeance against the rich![2] [JPG][JPG]]
Yun Xiangxiang posted the contract for "University Dream." The date it was signed was early last year. Han Jing followed up quickly by reposting with a caption saying: Maiden piece "University Dream." Only one protagonist. Be ours today. [3]
Everyone instantly understood that "University Dream" was directed by Han Jing. Seemed like Yun Xiangxiang was going to be the protagonist in this one.
Han Jing wasn't a person who lacked money. Moreover, this was her debut in directorship. She absolutely would not be stingy. Even if the netizens couldn't take a guess about Yun Xiangxiang's compensation, it couldn't be as low as two to three hundred thousand yuan. Adding this to the money from the last film, it would easily exceed four hundred thousand yuan. There was no fault in spending the four hundred thousand she had earned by herself on her attire.
The clever netizens smelled a conspiracy cooking and soon returned to Yun Xiangxiang's side.
Qin Yue's reaction was fast. Even Yun Xiangxiang said that she couldn't find all the official prices currently. However, Qin Yue had the information. Why?
Yun Xiangxiang tagged the director and the three leads in "Caring Love" in her other statement that said the netizen guessed her compensation correctly. It was a gesture that was full of significance.


Yun Xiangxiang was a well-regarded celebrity in her previous life. 
This life, she wants to be a proper actor. 
Have a good reputation, rather have nothing than everything and not rely on the words from her fans. The products are quality. Firmly plant her own feet to the ground and only rely on herself to take the throne, step by step. 
Yet, she accidentally got entangled with a world-class big shot.
Ever since then, the world-class big shot followed her on Weibo. He would gift her advanced technological goods for protection. Create rings that no one else can wear but her. He would glorify her family name so he can go through fire to watch over. 
Until he finally embraced her, "It's too dangerous for you. You can only be safe if you become my wife." 
Yun Xiangxiang: ...
