In the celestial expanse, the planet of Osiris hangs like a luminous opal, suspended amidst the starry tapestry by the silken threads of fate. This world, a marvel of wonder, is home to nine realms, each governed by godlike monarchs who wield powers both mystical and mysterious. The royal bloodlines of Osiris possess a prestigious gift – the ability to harness the power of Quantum Energy. This arcane force, a manifestation of the cosmos' inherent majesty, courses through the veins of the nobility like liquid starlight. Those who wield this power are known as Warlocks or Quantum Kinetics, and they are the epitome of esoteric prowess, their abilities rivaled only by the celestial bodies that light the firmament.

Against this apocalyptic backdrop, the monarchs of the nine realms convene at the Glazier Ball, a dazzling spectacle of wonder and majesty, where the fate of the luminous Daughter of Light hangs precariously in the balance, a delicate pawn in a grand game of power, mystery and ancient lore, as the realms themselves teeter on the brink of oblivion.

Everyone harbored their own thoughts, preparing to welcome a delicate and sickly young girl, only to be met with a bright and shiny Little Baldy. She followed them around like a little tail, proclaiming that their days were numbered. Initially, the Tang Family resisted this, arguing that even if she wasn't a sweet and adorable child, she shouldn't be a nonsensical Little Swindler! Latter on, as the little girl, vexed and embarrassed the bad guys with talk of imminent retaliation, amid everyone's cries of alarm, she confronted them with a little dust whisk in one hand and a small clenched fist in the other in an attempt to 'conquer with virtue' on their behalf. The Tang Family, gradually freeloading: Delicious! ** In the wealthy Rong Family, with a century-old legacy, there were rumors that a precious young master resided within its vast estate, dressed in traditional Tang Suit, his wrist adorned with Buddha Beads, a figure everyone dreaded. One day, under the pear tree in the courtyard, on the recliner, lay a pile of fluffy yarn balls neatly placed on the knees of that always composed and sagacious youth who was almost bewitching. The Personal Guard was puzzled, as the young master's fingers were never known to touch even spring water. Then they heard the young master ask in a gentle voice: After much consideration, a fluffy hat seems warmer, don't you think? Which color do you think Jinjin would look good in, pink or multicolored? Personal Guard: ??? ** Rong Qing had known since he was young that he was different from others, with a heavy malevolence about him, calling evil spirits close. That is until he met Tang Jin wielding a little dust whisk, pinning Evil Spirits to the ground and pummeling them, while others fled in all directions, as she recited "the sea of bitterness has no bounds, turn your head to see the shore." Latter on, Rong Qing, touching her Little Baldy head, pulled her hand with a smile: Jinjin, would you care to save your brother as well? Seeing that you're so pretty, Little Milk Jin let herself be led by the hand, cooing with reserved pride: I can.
