The bar was alive with flashing neon lights and deafening music.

A semi-open room, three people sitting on the sofa.

"Cheers to our little Cha finally turning 16!" Xia Yanxing raised her glass, and the three of them clinked glasses in the air, downing their beers in one go.

In country A, at the age of 16, one is considered an adult and can drink alcohol, obtain a driver's license, and enter bars.

The three of them have been best friends since kindergarten.

Li Xiaoxiao, 16 years old, the daughter of the CEO of a famous brand of adult toys in Country A.

Yun Xiao Cha, 16 years old, a web author who specializes in Cinderella and rich boyfriend stories.

Xia Yanxing, 16 years old, although she is our main character, currently... doesn't have any special skills.

Three people made an agreement that when they all turned 16, they would celebrate their birthdays together at a bar and have their first drink.

"Ian Xing, it's so boring to just have the three of us drink," Li Xiaoxiao complained.

"Otherwise, let's do something more interesting!" Yun Xiaocha responded.

"What's there to do?"

Yun Xiaocha suggested, "Let's play a bigger game. We can play rock-paper-scissors. The loser has to go up to the first person who enters the bar, regardless of their gender, and ask them something!"

Xia Yanxing gave a face full of disdain and said, "You guys have such bad taste? And... you knew I was going to lose, right?"

I don't know why, but Xia Yanxing and Men Shitou's rock-paper-scissors games have always ended in defeat!

"Today is Xiaocha's birthday, of course, since she wants to play pretend like she's grown up, we should cooperate, right?" Li Xiaoxiao egged her on from the side.

Since Li Xiaoxiao had said so, meeting Yun Xiao'cha's expectant gaze, Xia Yanxing could only agree.

"Rock, Paper, Scissors—"

And it was incredibly unfortunate--Xia Yanxing lost again.

The three of them looked at the door simultaneously.

"Yánxīng, someone's come in, hurry up!"

The door of the bar was opened and someone walked in.

Ready to accept defeat, Xia Yanxing gritted her teeth and, because she was drunk, stumbled toward that person, blocking his way.

"Hey! What's yours?!"

The bar's lights were dim, Xia Yanxing couldn't see the man's face clearly in front of her, she could only tell that his tall shadow seemed to completely envelop her.

The boisterous music in the bar abruptly stopped, and with a "click," all the lights turned on.

After spending a long time in the darkness, when the lights suddenly turned on, Xia Yanxing only felt her eyes being stabbed by the light and she squinted.

After a while, she adjusted and looked up to see the man's face.

A beam of light shone down on his handsome face, as if coating him with a layer of sanctity, like a god descending to earth.

Xia Yanxing suddenly found a large group of armed soldiers in uniform standing behind this man.

For a moment, Xia Yanxing was completely dumbfounded.

The man also lowered his head and looked down. A low, deep voice came from above: "Human, are you looking for death?"

"Human, are you looking for death?"

"Human, are you looking for death?"

"..."

A simple sentence, yet it echoed endlessly in Xia Yan's ears, amplified.

For the first time since birth, Xia Yanxing was so scared that she fainted...
