Yang Kai wandered the halls of **Shen Qing Luo's Spider Kingdom**, his expression calm but his mind sharp. He knew this place was a prison without walls. Though free to roam, he was bound by Shen Qing Luo's will, unable to leave until she decided to release him. However, Yang Kai, knowing what the future held, had no intention of leaving just yet.
His thoughts drifted to **Shen Qing Luo**, now struggling with the emotional conflict brought on by her failed seduction technique. Yang Kai was aware of her importance from his knowledge of the future—she would eventually become one of his wives. But in this present moment, she was torn between her growing feelings for him and her need to kill him to save herself from the backlash of her own poison.
Yang Kai knew he could turn this situation to his advantage. The connection between them, albeit unintended by Shen Qing Luo, could be deepened. He could use her inner conflict to draw her closer to him, and ultimately, into his growing harem.
But for now, there was another figure who stood between him and his goals—**Bi Luo**.

### **Bi Luo's Frustration**
As loyal as she was to Shen Qing Luo, Bi Luo found herself growing increasingly frustrated with the situation. She watched Yang Kai with sharp eyes, fully aware that her mistress had become emotionally entangled with this man who had walked into their kingdom. For Bi Luo, it was unacceptable. She could not stand the idea of her mistress being so vulnerable, especially to a man like Yang Kai.
Bi Luo, ever the dutiful servant, approached Yang Kai one day as he wandered near the palace courtyard. Her expression was cold, but there was an underlying tension in her gaze.
"Mistress may be conflicted," Bi Luo said sharply, her arms crossed over her chest. "But I am not. You should know your place here, Yang Kai. If you think you can manipulate her, you'll have me to deal with."
Yang Kai glanced at her, unimpressed by the threat. He saw through Bi Luo's outward toughness. She was fiercely loyal to Shen Qing Luo, yes, but there was something more lurking beneath her exterior—a deep-seated submissiveness that she herself barely understood.
"You're bold," Yang Kai said, his voice low. "But you forget your place. You may serve Shen Qing Luo, but you're nothing more than her servant."
Bi Luo's eyes flared with anger. "Watch your tongue! I could—"
Before she could finish her sentence, Yang Kai moved swiftly. In a flash, he had closed the distance between them, grabbing her wrist tightly. Bi Luo gasped, her breath catching as she tried to pull away, but his grip was firm, unyielding.
"You think you have control here?" Yang Kai's voice was sharp, but there was an undercurrent of something darker in his tone. "Let me show you what real control looks like."

### **Yang Kai's Power Play**
Bi Luo struggled, her body tensing under Yang Kai's grip, but there was something else beneath her resistance. The way his fingers tightened around her wrist sent a shiver down her spine, one that she fought to suppress. In the back of her mind, hidden beneath her loyalty to Shen Qing Luo, was a secret desire—one she had long fantasized about but never allowed to surface.
Yang Kai pulled her closer, his other hand sliding behind her neck as he leaned in, his lips close to her ear. "You think you're protecting her, but you're nothing more than a pawn in this game. What if I decide to take what I want?"
Bi Luo's heart raced, her mind screaming at her to pull away, but her body reacted differently. She felt a strange thrill, an excitement that she had always buried deep within herself. Her fantasies, the ones she could never confess to anyone—not even her mistress—flashed through her mind. The idea of being controlled, of being dominated, of surrendering completely to someone more powerful... it was something she had always craved in secret.
But she couldn't let him know that.
"Let me go!" she demanded, her voice trembling with both anger and confusion. "You don't have the right!"
Yang Kai smirked, his grip tightening as he leaned even closer. "I see right through you, Bi Luo. You like this, don't you?"
Her body betrayed her as her pulse quickened, and a soft gasp escaped her lips. She immediately tried to deny it, shaking her head furiously, but Yang Kai saw the truth in her eyes. Her façade was cracking.
"No..." she whispered, trying to pull away again, but her resistance was weaker now.
"You've always wanted this," Yang Kai continued, his voice low and dangerous. "You've fantasized about it. You dream about Shen Qing Luo doing the same to you, don't you?"
Bi Luo's face flushed with embarrassment and anger, but her silence was enough of an answer. She had spent years by her mistress's side, watching her seduce and control others. In her heart, Bi Luo longed for someone to dominate her the same way.
Yang Kai let go of her wrist, but the tension between them didn't fade. Bi Luo stumbled back, her face flushed with a mixture of anger and shame. She wanted to scream at him, to punish him for what he had done, but deep down, a part of her was grateful for the way he had seen through her.
"I... I won't let you control me," Bi Luo finally managed to say, her voice shaking.
Yang Kai chuckled softly, stepping closer to her again. "You say that now, but you'll come to me willingly before long."
Bi Luo glared at him, her anger bubbling beneath the surface, but something in her eyes had changed. Yang Kai had unlocked something within her—a part of herself she had long tried to suppress. And now that it had been brought to the surface, she couldn't stop thinking about it.

### **Bi Luo's Inner Conflict**
Over the next few days, Bi Luo's frustration grew. She did her best to avoid Yang Kai, but every time she saw him, she couldn't help but recall the way he had held her, the way he had spoken to her with such confidence. The part of her that wanted to resist was at war with the part of her that craved what he had offered.
In the privacy of her chambers, Bi Luo often found herself fantasizing about it—about being dominated, about surrendering completely. She imagined what it would be like if her mistress, Shen Qing Luo, had done the same to her, and her face burned with shame and desire.
But outwardly, she remained defiant. She couldn't let Yang Kai know how deeply he had affected her.

### **Yang Kai's Manipulation**
Yang Kai, for his part, understood Bi Luo's weakness perfectly. He knew that beneath her anger and defiance was a woman who longed for submission. He had seen it in her eyes, felt it in the way her body had reacted to his touch. And he intended to use that to his advantage.
By gaining control over Bi Luo, he could gain more influence over Shen Qing Luo. He knew that her maid's loyalty was fierce, but now, that loyalty was wavering. Bi Luo's internal struggle was growing stronger with each passing day, and it wouldn't be long before she succumbed to her desires.
Yang Kai waited patiently, knowing that eventually, Bi Luo would come to him on her own terms. And when she did, he would have exactly what he needed to turn the tables in his favor.
