Chen Xi was a jinx who radiated misfortune the way a torch radiated light, and everyone around him knew it.

Every story needs a great evil for the hero or heroine to defeat…

The wicked stepmother who torments Cinderella.

The fearsome dragon who kidnaps the princess.

The fake rich daughter who bullies the real.

An evil demon queen hell bent on destroying the world.
