It was a night of full moon and as the light entered by the window, I could still clearly see everything around me despite the late hour. I was resting peacefully when the door slide open.

I was not surprised by the sound as the time of my daily treatment was close.

The mysterious maid whose name I still did not know was not the kind of person to arrive late and it was even common for her to arrive before the appointed time.

For this reason, I could not do anything inappropriate around this hour even though there was not a part of my body she had not already seen or touched.

I could easily use the upper half of my body, so I decided to greet by sitting up. But I instantly closed my mouth as I saw an unexpected person.

She was as far, one of the most beautiful women that I had seen in my life. Her dress graciously covered her voluptuous body. And her short-sleeve showed her delicate skin.

The woman silently entered and carefully closed the door behind her before slowly taking place on a cushion next to me.

Seeing her, I instantly had a feeling of irritation, disgust, and sadness. It was one of the wrong perks that I had found only after fusing with my predecessor's memories: it seemed like I was now plagued by foreign toughs, his to be more exact.

I recognized the woman in front of me but was confused about my feelings toward her considering her relationship with the original owner of the body. She was his mistress.

It was an interesting story. I would have just sighed if I was not concerned by the situation.

Sun Chen's and the young miss Wen Xia loved each other. But knowing that they would never end up together, both of them as resolute and pragmatic martial artists decided to find a way out for themselves.

Sun Chen has found his own in the form of Miss Liang, the jewel of the capital.

Song Liang was her true name and she worked in the most prestigious brother of the capital city.

Their relation head started two years ago when Sun Chen was involved in a shady business for the When family. The deal was taking place inside the brothel.

Wen Zhao, a member of the Wen family had tried to molest Miss Liang while she was performing her musical skill.

Sun Chen decided to step in and fight Wen Zhao as he felt that the latter was needlessly tarnishing the name of the Wen family. The confrontation quickly evolved into a fight and from a fight, it became a one-sided beating unto Wen Zhao and his unfortunate friends.

Sun Chen's martial arts talent was known to everyone in the capital, so after the incident, the manager of the brothel came and thanked him profusely and offered him to spend a night with Miss Liang.

Sun Chen was not a saint so he accepted. It was his first time spending with a prostitute, it was also his first time getting laid.

Sun Chen had made a promise to Song Liang, that he was going to buy her freedom from the brothel. He had even made an agreement with the patriarch of the Wen Family who's statute was high enough to negotiate with the brothel's owner. The old man, readily agreed as he did not want him to get closer to his daughter.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

He still had to serve the Wen family for another five years and Song Liang would be free. They could find a family if they wanted to.

" what are you doing here," I asked her coldly.

According to my memories, she should have come earlier, to lay a visit, not more than a week later. She was far more passionate when Sun Chen was still 'functional'.

" I am sorry, believe me. It is only now that I found the opportunity to come... I have been busy lately" she said difficultly seemingly choking in her own words.

As she was talking, she was avoiding my gaze, but I still saw her eyes, hollow almost like that of a dead fish. I felt bad as a wave of disgust went through me. I also felt something inside me, breaking apart. If somewhere in me the soul of the original Sun Chen was still alive, he would have died by now.

Even I as a bystander felt bad for him. As he was ill, almost dying, his lover did not visit him as she was busy working... In a brothel.

I reigned in my thoughts remembering that I did not have to feel betrayed as I was not him.

I did not have to feel empathic even though I knew more than anyone how much he had emotionally invested in her.

While I was staring blankly at her, perhaps she misinterpreted my intentions. She started to tell me what happened outside during the last few days.

" After the young master of the Jiang family defeated you, the new traveled unexpectedly fast as if someone important had a hand into it.

Soon enough, the whole capital was informed and everyone who knew the two of you was shaken wondering how you were defeated.

I was still unaware of what happened but I felt that some of the women working in the brothel looked at me strangely but no one said anything to me.

I was going to visit you that night as I did not have any performances scheduled but the manager stopped me. He was followed by the young master Wen tian.

I told him that I was going to visit you as usual once every week.

But he said t it was not necessary. You were now crippled and the previous accord between you was billed.

I did not have any choice but to perform for Wen Tian, but he was not satisfied and forced himself on me. since that time someone will come every night requesting me. Every one of them seemed to have a grudge with you"

It was painful to hear her story even more so as I was somewhat involved.

But it made me calm down my feeling of disgust and everything else. I knew that going through all of that was certainly more painful for her.

When she finished telling her story, a teardrop fell from my cheeks. Her eyes were misty too but her gaze remained cold and distant as if she was unconcerned. She extended her hand and wiped the teardrop on my cheek with her cold hand.

After that, she gently pulled their sleeves down and started to undress.

In my moment of weakness, I had completely forgotten her profession. She was a prostitute, someone who lived off her body.

I was confused as to what she was going to do? Why? And even more so while should I do in response.

Sure I had some money, but I did not intend to buy her service even more so after knowing what happened to her.

I drilled her arm, trying to stop her from striping. but even though I could move my arm as I wanted, I was not as strong as an adult man. She easily pulled herself out of my grip and continued to disrobe.

It is only when her clothes had reached down her waist that I saw on what was once an unblemished and white immaculate skin in my memories, crisscrossed scars. There were also blues, bite, and burn marks on her chest and back.

It was at that time that I saw another side of her, gnashing her teeth with a hate-filled face. I had a feeling that some part of it was directed toward me. Her clenched fist was also trembling around the fabric of the dress. I almost thought she was going to beat me down and knew full well that I could not resist.

I will only be able to call for help and perhaps I will die before someone arrived.

I never missed my home so much. Only now did I fully realize in which kind of world I was. A dog-eat-dog world. Even though my world was not perfect, there were laws a semblance and order, and justice.

Everyone in this world, even a broken and vulnerable woman could easily kill me.

Even though the woman's mind was unstable as mine, in the end, she did not kill me.

After some, time, She was completely naked. I did not resist as she lied down next to me inside the same bedsheets.

Luckily my body did not betray me as we cuddled together just like that. without knowing it, despite the situation, I easily started to sleep.
