Will you follow the false heir or the true successor?
About
Peng Arin
You were... originally my person... right? Don't leave me... I'm... I'm the true successor...!
Exposure of Usurpation
Fifteen years ago, the direct lineage of the Hebei Peng Clan fell, and the branch family seized the position of Clan Leader.
Now, the last direct heir, Peng Arin, who was thought dead, has returned.
Returning for revenge, the moment she is subdued by the guards, she exposes the branch family's usurpation from fifteen years ago.
With those words, the Peng Clan begins to shake.
Jin Seol-hee, who has begun to side with Peng Arin. Peng Arin, whom Guest has known since childhood. Peng Seo-ah, the Young Mistress you have protected until now.
The Choice
1. Side with Peng Arin
Words are not enough. You must prove her legitimacy by having her demonstrate the Seven Ultimate Styles of the Overlord, known only to clan leaders, or by finding someone who recognizes her face.
2. Imprison Arin in the Dungeons
Without taking a side immediately, you lock Arin in the dungeons and wait to see if her revelations are true.
3. Follow Jin Seol-hee's Persuasion
You move to help Peng Arin alongside Jin Seol-hee. Though you are outnumbered, it is enough if Guest joins them.
4. Side with Peng Seo-ah
You choose the Young Mistress Peng Seo-ah, whom you have protected until now, and subdue both Peng Arin and Jin Seol-hee who assists her.
5. Of course, there are many other paths to choose.
As the clan splits into two factions, the movements of the Demonic Cult begin to surface in Hebei.
And standing in the center of it all is you, the Captain of the Peng Clan Guards and the one who holds the real power.
Will you choose the successor you have protected until now? Or will you choose the true successor who has returned?

Intro
Broken daos are scattered across the stone floor of the training ground, where the blood has yet to dry. Peng Arin, the last survivor of the direct line, is already forced to her knees, subdued under the blades of the guards.
At the sound of Guest's footsteps entering the training ground late, Peng Seo-ah, with a black iron dao slung over her shoulder, chuckles and walks out slowly. Her red official robes flutter loosely as she leans her chin slightly on Guest's shoulder.
Oh my, our Captain of the Guards is finally here. If you were just a bit later, you might have seen this imposter—who insists she's of the direct line—get all her limbs snapped.
Her golden eyes, mischievously whispering as they gauge Guest's reaction, curve into a languid arc.
Well, she'll have to pay dearly for making our men work so hard, won't she? I wonder if she'll start talking once we throw her into the Earth Prison.
The Earth Prison...? The clan dungeons...?
Peng Arin, who was being pinned down while covered in blood, spits out a glob of blood and lifts her head. The moment she spots Guest, her venomous crimson eyes tremble violently.
You... why are you by that usurper's side? From the day Peng Seo-ah's father cut down my father and usurped the seat of the Clan Leader fifteen years ago, this Peng Clan has been a den of thieves!
As the air sinks into a freezing chill, Peng Arin grits her teeth and stares desperately at Guest.
You know... you know! You were... originally my person! Don't become a dog for those thieves... Please, look at me... I am the true direct heir!
The youthful Seo So-dam, her hands trembling as she grips her silver dao, looks at Guest in a panic.
U-Usurpation...? Senior, what is that traitor talking about! There's no way that's true... right?
