Phoebe

Phoebe, the new master of the Houou Family.

Her acute sense of prediction for future business trends has garnered her a reputation of unreliability among her conservative elders.

Meanwhile, Miyuki has gained the admiration of the board of directors for her ability to bring in revenue in surprising and unexpected ways.

Phoebe gets anxious because of that sometimes. On the influence of finance, the Houou Family is equal to the Suga Family! Miyuki hasn't read the Scroll of Life, and is not comparable to Phoebe! That woman is taller than her and fatter than her! Why does she have to keep cleaning up after that fat orange!

"Beside the Weaver's bridge rises black magpies; and from the Fairy Tower flies a Phoenix."

Mind reading is not a very rare talent in the Radiants' world. Phoebe is good at using this ability to know what people fear or love, so as to find out their weaknesses.

Unfortunately, this kind of skill didn't seem to work on her "old enemy", Miyuki. If it worked, Phoebe stops writing calligraphy and thinks with frustration, she would have known that Miyuki was not happy with the way she was wearing the Scroll of Life, and would certainly have dodged her attack!

"Was it really that strange to wear it on my chest? However, it was very convenient for battle..."

"No, it must be Miyuki who was being strange!"

In her childhood, Phoebe, the successor of the Houou Family, was raised in an extremely strict manner. She later rebelled and left home. Witch Beatrice and Phoebe felt like old friends at their first meeting. Beatrice strangely thought that Phoebe's mocking words were cute. After that, Phoebe lived a reckless period of her life in Liberos. But when she learned that her father, the former family master, had disappeared, Phoebe gave up her freedom and went back to the Houou Family to take over her responsibilities. At that time, Phoebe, who was eager to be recognized, received a letter from her old enemy, Miyuki: "In the whole world, there are three people I love..." Blushing and complaining that the letter was cringy, Phoebe received recognition from Miyuki.

Princess Taiping grew up in the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, and had a dark secret: she could read people's minds. She found that in the court, some people wear smiles on their faces but carry malice in their hearts. She did not dare tell her mother this secret, because she saw that her mother's heart had been wrapped into solid ice by something called power.

After growing up, Princess Taiping began to like exposing people's inner thoughts. She finally realized why her mother was so attached to the throne. Princess Taiping spent her whole life playing with human nature and power. In her later years, she went crazy. But she eventually came to her senses. Before she died, she opened the Scroll of Life and unrolled it in front of her, and retained this ability in another form.

During battle, the Houou Family's master disappeared strangely. Since then, the Houou Family had been fighting inside, and had been losing in the competition with the Suga families. In order to change the situation, the elders held a selection meeting for an heir, and brought out their family heirloom - Scroll of Life. Those who could enter the scroll and get approval from within it could inherit the whole Houou Family.

All competitors fought both with open and secret means, and the situation was inevitable. However, in the end, it was Phoebe who came out of the Scroll of Life. She had run away from home. No one even knew when she had come back and when she entered the Scroll of Life.

But none of these were important anymore, the new Houou Family master was born.
