"After all your efforts to pull them down, you'll still be unsuccessful. Do you know why?"

Si Hai's eyes sank in deep thought, seriously pondering over her words. But he was too prideful to ask why.

Not really minding his reasons on staying silent, she carried on.

"Because this..." She spread her arms and looked like she was gesturing to the whole room.

The fox somehow knew what she meant was bigger than that.

"Everything favors them. Fate will support them no matter what they do because they're chosen."

Chosen to be the center of this world.

Who were they to question fate?

Those obscure words when spoken by somebody else would only sound foolish.

But she was a person out of the ordinary and he was a spirit not contained by rationality.

In their own separate ways, those words held meaning.

Hong Chun didn't want this road. But it looked like she had no choice.

She wrote so many stories of women entering novels and waking up as an insignificant character.

Now that she was in their shoes, it felt like karma.

She liked writing those kinds of stories as they showed how the underdogs prevailed in the end. But being here made her realize how their lives sucked.

She didn't want to be part of anyone's drama but here she was being dragged right into it.

Head tilted, she asked, "I believe you know what your master did?"

The fox didn't meet her eyes. "It seems you're more informed."

"The daren viewed you as a dispensable piece. How come the servant is loyal up to now? Even when the servant is considered free?"

>達人 - dá rén - master/expert *in context, it feels like an honorable way to say mister for me....? idk about native speakers<

He didn't doubt how Hong Chun knew this. It wasn't a secret among the common people that the son of the former prime minister committed treason and tried blaming it on his servant.

He thus became known as a mad man before he was executed.

Regardless of the rumors, the fact that Si Hai was nothing to his master was what he had been trying to ignore all this time.

Why was he consumed with hatred? Why did he want revenge?

Spirits already somewhat looked down on their kind who followed humans. What more if the spirit stayed faithful to a cruel master?

Maybe it was because if he didn't avenge his master, there would be nothing left to do.

There would be no more reason to live.

Si Hai was born and bred in a dark sect.

Nine-tailed foxes were rare pure and sacred spirits.

Unlike how folklore portrayed them which composed of foxes tricking humans out of mischief, fox spirits were actually deeply respected among their kind. It was because they had the power to reveal all truths and the same ability to conceal them.
