Everything was perfect until Xiao Chu's step Mother began to abuse and mistreat Xiao Chu. Everybody even her own Father hated Xiao. The only 2 people that were here for her was, Yugo her younger Brother and her Maid Summer.

Xiao was in love with one of the sons of the Emperor from this Empire. His name was Menma. One time the King called Xiao Chu and her Father to his big and fancy castle. The Emperor told Xiao Chu's Father:

- Your Daughter must marry my third son. -

Xiao wasn't that happy until she realised, that Menma was the third son of the Emperor. So she asked:

- But why me? And not a prettier women from the Empire? -

- I don't know my third son said, he wants to marry you. -

Xiao Chu's Father whispered to Xiao while covering his mouth with his hand:

- I don't think that's a good idea Xiao. -

But Xiao didn't listen to him, bow down until her head touched the ground and responded:

- It would be my pleasure to marry the Third Young Prince -

- Great the wedding will be in two days at 3pm! -

After Xiao and her Father came back home he yelled at her, hit her many times, pulled her hair, cut her face with a knife and stabbed her one time.

- Why does my Family despite me so much? I hate it -

Xiao could barely stand up, her Father left her on the floor lying. About 5 minutes later the maid; Summer was walking down the hall and saw Xiao Chu on the floor.

- MY LADY! -

She ran to her fast as she could and brought her to the best doctor in the entire Empire.

Xiao Chu was sent back home, because they said rest is all she will need.

Summer made the bed for Xiao Chu ready while Xiao was taking a bath. Xiao put her pyjama on and entered her room. Summer came in.

- Ms. Chengey do you want something to eat? -

- No thank you Summer I'm not hungry and please call me Xiao or Chu. -

- Okay Ms. Xiao. -

- I'm going to go to sleep, you can go rest Summer. -

- Alright My Lady, Good Night! -

Summer walked out of the room leaving Xiao by herself.

Xiao turned of the lights, lay down on the bed and fell asleep, after some time. But something really bad happened. Her elder half-sister Xikyo Chen walked in Xiao Chu's room, as much as possible it was, quietly.

-This is for accepting the marriage with the third prince! -

She took the knife she got from the kitchen and stabbed Xiao Chu. Xiao Chu opened her eyes, but her vision was blurry.

- Is this Xikyo? But why... WHY!!! IT HURTS SO MUCH. I HATE THEM, I HATE MY FAMILY!!!! -

Xikyo stabbed Xiao around 6 times in vital places, just to make sure Xiao will die. After her death nobody but Yugo, Summer and some other villagers attended her funeral.

Summer and Yugo were terrified and sad, about what happened to Xiao, while the rest of the Family was grateful for her death. The third son of the Emperor didn't care that much, he never loved her, he wanted to marry her, only to destroy Xiao Chu's life. One year after Xiao's death he married Xiao Chu's elder half-sister Xikyo Chen.
