Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 1: Prologue

“Hahahaha… Ruoyin, I have finally refined the Meridian Opening Potion, I succeeded…” In a somewhat messy laboratory, Mo Wuji clutched the porcelain bottle in his hand and laughed wildly, seemingly mad.

“Clang…” A glass fell to the ground, tea spilling everywhere. A beautiful woman in a cheongsam stood at the door, staring blankly at the wildly laughing Mo Wuji. After a long while, she said tremblingly, “Wuji, you succeeded? You really succeeded?”

Mo Wuji saw the beautiful woman at the door and knew that Ruoyin had come to bring him tea. Ruoyin was obviously as shocked as he was by the news, which was why she dropped the cup in her excitement.

“Ruoyin, there is absolutely no mistake this time. I just tasted half a bottle, and I could clearly feel a meridian being opened, like a line of fire burning, and then the meridian gradually expanding. The meridian is still expanding now, we succeeded.”

Mo Wuji grabbed the porcelain bottle and walked excitedly to the woman, grabbing her hands, “Ruoyin, all these years, I had you taking care of me while I was researching the Meridian Opening Potion, you’ve worked hard. Let’s get married right away, and then open a company specializing in the production of this Meridian Opening Potion. I believe our company will soon cause a sensation around the world.”

The woman finally calmed down, and said in a still trembling voice, “Is the recipe safe?”

Mo Wuji nodded, "Ruoyin, don't worry, all the information is on my laptop, let me show you..."

After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the laptop.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, followed by a tearing pain. Then he saw a blade tip appear from his chest, a sharp knife that had been stabbed into him from behind, piercing his heart.

The pain brought extreme dizziness, and all the strength in his body was slowly disappearing. Mo Wuji slowly turned his head, looking at Xia Ruoyin, who was holding the knife handle, with a bewildered gaze, and murmured, “Ruoyin, why? Why?”

He still couldn’t believe that the person who stabbed him in the back was his lover of many years, this woman he had given everything to.

“I’m sorry, Wuji, I’m sorry…” Xia Ruoyin’s hand was trembling, her whole body was shaking. She had personally killed her lover of more than ten years, personally killed this man who had given her everything.

Two large tears rolled from the corner of Mo Wuji’s eyes, and he felt his body getting colder and colder. His senses gradually disappeared, and the light in his eyes began to scatter, but he still did not want to close his eyes, just staring at Xia Ruoyin, “If you want that recipe… you just had to say it… I would have given it to you… why…”

He was not crying because his life was about to disappear. Since he could remember, Mo Wuji had never shed a tear. But today, what hurt him the most was not the wound in his back, but his heart.

Perhaps even Xia Ruoyin herself didn’t know her place in Mo Wuji’s heart. As long as she wanted, he could die for her at any time. And today, the woman he was willing to die for, personally stabbed the knife into his heart from behind.

Perhaps because he didn’t get an answer for a long time, perhaps because he didn’t want to die with his eyes open, his eyes, which were losing their light, slowly closed, with only two tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.

"Plop..." Xia Ruoyin finally shed two lines of tears, which fell on the corner of Mo Wuji's eyes, washing away Mo Wuji's two tears.
