"Wonderful, congratulations, Lu Xian." Wang Han congratulated Lu Xian, already standing in front of her, greeting her with a smile as she opened her eyes. Lu Xian didn't reply immediately, she was still overwhelmed with elation, not only from this breakthrough but also from the vast future possibilities that had seemed impossible just so recently. 'Deceiving Wang Han was truly the best decision I've ever made!' Lu Xian didn't know how many times she'd thought this since yesterday, but she never tired of repeating the thought and feeling a sense of accomplishment. Her reverie was jolted out by Wang Han's voice, which she heard in her ear like a whispering demon: "I adore you, Lu Xian." Before he snap his fingers, a sharp pain overwhelmed Lu Xian's entire being. She began screaming and moaning at the top of her lungs, clutching her head and rolling on the ground like a worm, as if this would somehow alleviate her suffering. "Aaaaaah... Stop... Aaaah!!!" A tender smile spread across Wang Han's lips as he watched Lu Xian writhe in agony, his voice filled with concern. "I truly can't bear to watch you suffer like this, my dear. I'm so sorry, but I don't trust anyone. I have to control to be at peace. I'm truly sorry." Wang Han let Lu Xian writhe in pain for a minute, the worried look in his eyes never fading for even a second, before finally stopping the pain with another snap of his fingers and a sigh of relief. "It's finally over. Please follow my orders, Lu Xian. I don't want to cause you any more pain." "You're... sick... a crazy lunatic, you bastard!" Lu Xian began screaming furiously, her expression a far cry from her previous calm demeanor, which had masked her true nature. She coughed continuously, still reeling from the excruciating pain she had just endured, a pain that will never leaves her mind "No, don't say that. You're hurting me, forcing me to be harsh with you again. I don't want to do that again." Wang Han gently stroked Lu Xian's face, causing her expression to shift to one of utter horror. Whether it was the pain she remembered or Wang Han himself that made her calm down, she asked after a sharp exhalation. "What have you done to me? Why could you cause me such pain with just a snap of your fingers?" "Nothing serious. I simply slipped a tiny, cute little worm called a parasitic worm into the pill you took. It allows me to control your life and death with ease, something I would never do, so don't worry. Besides, it makes you feel excruciating pain from the worms that will start eating away at you from the inside whenever I want. It's a nice way to control you, as you can see, and it puts me at ease since I can't trust anyone." Wang Han's answer to her question filled Lu Xian with terror and despair. Her face, can be expressed with a single word, despondency "Why? Why did you do this to me? Weren't we going to get married soon? We loved each other!" "Why did you do this to me?!" Lu Xian screamed at Wang Han, finally unable to contain her anger. Her words betrayed a lingering hope that she still had some sliver of hope that she could manipulate him and that he hadn't seen through her deception. But Wang Han's words shattered that last spark of hope, as he told her directly: "My dear, I like to be certain of things. I don't want to leave any room for doubt about you, so the best solution is to take control of you, plain and simple." Wang Han's answer caused Lu Xian to drop her mask and reveal her true nature. Trembling with despair and anger, she asked him again. Just a few minutes ago, she had been living in the bliss of her dreams before plummeting into the hell of reality. "How long have you known about my acting? My performance was perfect." "That's true, but that's precisely why I discovered your acting, you were simply too perfect." "What? Too perfect?" Lu Xian exclaimed incredulously, finding this reason utterly ridiculous. "Yes, I started to have suspicions about you because of this, exactly a month before
