He is Xi Liang’s legendary emperor: a decisive and ruthless king; a man of supreme wisdom; a cunning strategist.... more>>

According to legend, he once conferred the love meant for the three thousand concubines in his harem onto one woman, while the world watched in envy.

According to legend, he once executed a hundred people for her, turning the palace into a purgatory overnight.

According to legend, he ultimately sentenced that same woman to death by execution…

A conspiracy that swept through the country resulted in her tragic end. This lifetime seems to be a repeat of her past life. Can she escape the clutches of fate to attain true love in this life? In both lives, she was the Emperor’s wife, but is that ruthless man really her true love mandated by Heaven?

Did she really die, just like that?

In the end, beyond the veil of lies and mysteries, who exactly was she? Was she a woman that he truly loved, or was she merely a chess piece to be used in his political machinations?

The stories passed onto later generations remain fraught with conflicting opinions. <<less

This is a story about how a female character in Jinjiang made others suffer after having discovered her tragic fates under the pen of the author. ... more>>

The protagonist says, “If I’m thrown into misfortunes by heaven, I’ll have to turn the entire world into tragedies.

The lord, king, general, scholar, master of evil cult who don’t do anything important, but only talk about s*x or love, will have to pay direly.

If you don’t go to hell, who will?”

In an illogical place like this, where any bizzarre things can happen out of nowhere, the heroine will transform into the Ultra(wo)man, fend off ugly monsters and keenly twist sufferings into honor.

Evil stepmother? It’s alright, I’ll destroy your reputation before sending you on your way to hell. Hypocritical friend?

It’s a painting of a woman in a baro’t saya, with her back turned to the viewer. I asked the art director about the story of this painting. According to him, this was donated by a wealthy businessman after he lost his wife to an illness. The businessman was an avid art collector and he got The Señorita for an affordable price at a garage sale in Calamba, Laguna. He was obsessed with looking at it every day, until he realized that he was starting to go bankrupt and that his wife fell ill. When his wife died, he gave away the painting to the Manila Art Museum, and now it resides in the bas**ent.'

The Señorita, also known as La Señorita.

The said painting seemed old. The colors appeared like they would fade away at any moment. And even its golden frames were giving off signs of crumbling.

Just from the title itself, one would imagine the Señorita as a beautiful girl made into a masterpiece, even immortalized through that said exceptional painting.

However, it was actually hiding a mystery. No one knows about the said painting’s history, especially about the model and its painter. It was also said to be jinxed, never failing to bring misfortune on whomever's hands it would fall to. But, who was the maiden being called the Señorita and are the stories revolving around her true?
