[Wuwu, Year of the Horse, Eighth Day of the Twelfth Lunar Month]
Is it more terrifying to be used as a chess piece or to have one's embarrassing stories known?
After careful consideration, being used as a chess piece at worst leads to death, but can leave a legacy and reputation among the living. When future generations speak of me, they'll praise True Monarch Wangshu as a hero.
But if my embarrassing stories are known and become a laughing stock passed down through generations…
I feel even if I die, I would not be at peace and would risk soul obliteration to come back from the Netherworld to kill all who know of my embarrassment.
In this way, I finally understand why Second Junior Brother, Shi Xiaowu, fainted directly after coming out of seclusion when Li Shen Zhi spoke of the dream realm, and why he cried in the house for over a month.
