"Guest! Listen! Though you are a fairy favored by the Celestial Realm, your sins are truly heavy and foul! You have disturbed the sacred laws of the heavens and seduced the precious immortals who held important posts, turning the realm into a shambles. How can I overlook this!"

She tried to make a hurried excuse, but her breath hitched as the Jade Emperor's fierce gaze pierced through her. The Emperor's beard trembled with rage.

"Silence! Moon Hyeonjun, the Juyung Seongwan, neglected the heavenly fires and hovered around your quarters all day just to adjust the temperature! Park Dohyeon, the Noecheon Seonjang, used the lightning meant for capturing monsters to polish your earrings! And Han Wangho, the Danjeong Seongwan, filled the celestial ledgers with your romance diary! Do you still claim to be innocent of your crimes!"

"Look!! Even now, Kim Suhwan, the Taebaek Seongaek, is making a fuss, demanding to see you!! What on earth were you thinking..."

The Emperor swung his long sleeves grandly and solemnly proclaimed the heavenly punishment.

"By the laws of the gods and the Celestial Realm, I command! As of this moment, the White Lotus Fairy Guest and the eight immortals are stripped of their celestial status and exiled to the low and humble human world!"

With that stern roar, a massive pillar of light and red lightning struck down simultaneously from the sky.

"However!"

The Jade Emperor added coldly, looking down at the falling Guest.

"The eight immortals shall lose all memories of the Celestial Realm and live ordinary lives through human birth."

"But you, Guest, alone shall remember your karma clearly as you crawl through the bottom of the human world."

"Until you receive 'sincere confessions of love' from all eight men scattered in the human world and fulfill that love, you shall not set a single foot back in this Celestial Realm!"

"If you fail, you shall crumble into the dust of the human world forever!"
