A man sat by the lake washing a few clothes.
He placed the clothes in a wooden basket.
He carried the basket,and prepared to go home and hang the clothes.As he walked home,many people looked at him in disdain,while a few others, looked at him with sympathy.
Hai Feng ignored their stares. He saw a group of girls whispering about him. "Is that Hai Feng?, I heard he's barren" One of the girls whispered the other one responded"while everyone is getting married at 18, he's 22 and still unmarried!" The third girl shook her head and whispered
"That's not true, he's married to that foreign girl remember?, I heared she has many pieces of expensive silk,plus she never works,she let's Hai Feng do everything,she nothing but a spoiled brat"
The girls giggled. "Those two belong together,the barren boy and lazy girl" the first girl said,the fourth girl shook her head giggling "But she's really pretty, I bet Shen Li has his eyes on her already" Hai Feng shoot a murderous glare at them,the first girl looked at Hai Feng smirking "Why are you glaring at us like that?, I'm only telling the truth,I bet She would prefer Shen Li over you!,now can anyone love something like you!"
With a sudden loud slap,the girl held her face,tears threatening to fall. The one to deliver that slap was none other Alice. She walked over to Hai Feng, wiping away his tears."don't cry, You're lovable just the way you are,I love you just the way you are" of course it was an obvious lie,but sometimes lies need to be told. Alice has been here for three months now,this place is called Noah of Silent Death.
It is also Hai Feng's past. This place is called silent Death, because the people around you could get killed without you noticing it. How?,their replaced,so that the players believe their still alive. In this current setting, Females are normally lazy or don't work,their weaker than males but, scarce.
Due to this,a female can marry up to Twelve men,most nobles or empress can marry more.
This world believes that if a male is barren then they are useless,and a male hits a female it could result in execution. The third girl looked at Alice in awe,indeed she was truly beautiful,but her cold eyes reminded her of someone. A sudden realized struck her, and she looked at Alice In shock.
She took the basket from Hai Feng and held his hand as they started walking home.
The third girl,Ming Yuze,had panicked,she picked up a rock and knocked Alice unconscious,also knocking Hai Feng unconscious as well. The other Three girls looked at their friend in shock. "She looks just like the emperor!,those cold green eyes look just like the Emperor's!, there's a 200 gold coin reward for whoever can find the Emperor's missing daughter!.
The others looked at each other,then nodded. With 200 gold coins they could become rich. When they took the unconscious Alice to the palace,the guard wouldn't let them in. After all many people bring young girls here all the time, claiming to be the Emperor's daughter. The girls desperately tried to convince the guard,after all they had spent 50 gold coins just to get here. The convinced the guard that Alice was asleep,and the moment he saw her,he ran to call the Emperor and Empress.
"Hey wake up"Alice slowly opened her eyes,the moment she saw the worried look on Hai Feng's face,she hugged him tightly.
If Hai Feng died in this world, each of them will also die,and tell him the truth will also trigger this."looks like you too are close"
She jaw literally dropped to the floor, the man who said that looked exactly like her!.
He was slim, with long hair that nearly reaches his feet and sharp green eyes. The women looked like her but only a bit with green flowing hair and dark black eyes. She asked Hai Feng to leave them alone.
Before they could speak Alice spoke first"you don't you dare say you're my parents!, I have no parents!" The women looked taken aback, while the man just chuckled.
"What type of trouble did you get your self into my dear Alice to end up in this hellish game?" Her eyes widened, surprised,he continued"or perhaps you don't remember?"
He walked over to her, lifting a few strands of hair from her face"you say you have no parents, because your mother died before you where even born and I died giving birth to you"
Alice looked at him in confusion "what are you trying to say?" He gently kisses her on her forehead "that we're already dead my dear Alice, everyone in this game is already dead, everyone except Ethan"
