"THIS BOOK IS FORBIDDEN, ALL OFFENDERS WILL BE PUNISHED."

Chonghua had once produced two young and promising generals, like water meets fire, both as different as the eye could see1.

The one like water was called Mo Xi; cold by nature, he practiced abstinence, and has been single to this day. Within the army, the stakes on when General Mo would finally offer up his virginity had accumulated to the point where it could fill any poor man's belt with ten thousand strings of gold overnight2.

The one like fire was called Gu Mang; warm by nature, he was always full of smiles, and treasured the ladies like precious jewels3. If he had to pay out of his pockets for every single time he kissed a girl, then he'd probably have to pawn off all his possessions down to the underwear he wears to afford it.

There was a day, long before Gu Mang had committed treason, where on a sudden whim, he grabbed a book that he had compiled and ran over to ask Mo Xi to write his opinion of it.

At that time, General Mo was holding several volumes of books, his hands tied with military affairs, so he only asked General Gu one sentence: "What did you write?"

"Everything." Gu Mang explained enthusiastically, "Fine delicacies, personal experiences, travel notes of the mountains and rivers, weapon catalogs, and other trivial things."

Mo Xi received the book from him, lifting the brush in his hand, dipping it into the ink pot, preparing to comment.

As Gu Mang finished talking, he smiled and said: "I also wrote about you."

Mo Xi was suddenly alarmed by this, pausing the movement of his hands to look up at him.

"…What did you write about me?"

Gu Mang honestly replied: "A factual description of our past events."

"What past events?"

Gu Mang scratched his head, shamelessly grinning with a little "hee hee", then quickly replied: "All of them."

"..."

Mo Xi did not respond, staring at him for a moment before dropping his long eyelashes. Then, with an unreadable expression, he wrote two ruthlessly cold lines in Regular script4:

"THIS BOOK IS FORBIDDEN, ALL OFFENDERS WILL BE PUNISHED."
