The narrator explains that she was brought up to avoid suspicion, even though her father wanted to groom her to seduce the king. One night, her father took a seriously injured man home and ordered her to find out who the man was. She nursed him back to health, and when he awoke, she found out that he was a man named "Uncle Qin." The narrator was falling in love with the man, and he told her that he would plan a lavish wedding for her. When the man did not return, the narrator was taken into a cave and sealed in a casket. Uncle Qin and his accomplices were trying to kill the man because he had too much information about the people in the area. The men decided to put the woman in the casket and let her suffocate. The narrator realizes that he is too weak to get out of the casket, so he kills everyone except uncle Qin.
