The host of the house, Rich Master Li, was seated at the forefront of the opera stage, accompanying several of his concubines and the village head, along with a few highly esteemed elders from the village. They sat there enjoying the opera and sipping tea, looking quite proud of themselves.
After all, there were very few in all around the neighborhood who could afford to hire a troupe to perform in their own grand residence. Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, villagers from several neighboring villages had heard the news and rushed to his estate to watch the grand opera. He felt exceedingly honored.
Lost in his proud moment, a roof tile suddenly fell from the sky…
"Clatter."
It struck the opera stage in an instant, posing a threat to the lives of the actors. They screamed in terror and scurried for cover, heads in arms, as the stage erupted into chaos.
There was no way the performance could continue for the time being.
