I used the Living Oil to refine the Living Fat. I helped Madam Commander regain the Commander’s favor. But the Commander was not satisfied. He wanted to turn Madam into Living Fat for his own Eternal Youth. I agreed to help him refine the oil, and then send them both to their demise.

"I heard you have a kind of Living Fat that can preserve one's beauty forever?" Madam sat on the sofa, gazing at me languidly.
I stood there, timidly nodding, "Yes, it can preserve one's beauty."
Madam smiled, "I am already beautiful; I don't need such a thing."
"Madam," I kept my head lowered, my voice barely above a whisper, "This is what the Second Concubine desires, so I brought it for you to see first."
Madam's gaze suddenly sharpened, "Is it what she wants?"
I nodded.
Everyone in the Commander's Mansion knew that Madam was jealous of the Second Concubine. The Second Concubine was favored by the Commander, young and stunning; her beauty was something Madam could never compare to.
Madam scoffed, "Hmph, so that's how she bewitched the Commander!"
I remained silent, pouring the Living Fat into my hand and gently applying it to Madam's face.
"Ah!" Madam exclaimed, abruptly pushing me away.
I fell to the ground but kept my head bowed even lower.
"Madam, please take a look in the mirror."
In the room stood a large mirror, and as Madam lifted her head, she saw her reflection.
It was the face of her youth—delicate and beautiful—so different from the one ravaged by time.
Madam was stunned.
I knelt on the floor, "You can call for Commander to see you now."
Madam reached out to touch her face, her eyes filled with surprise.
I nodded, "This Living Fat, as long as you use it continuously, you will maintain this appearance forever."
"But..."
"But what?" Madam asked sharply.
I took a deep breath, my tone becoming even more humble, "But to make Living Fat Beauty Oil, you need to use human fat, and it must come from someone close to you for better results."
Madam pushed me away forcefully, "What did you say?"
Her brows furrowed and her eyes widened in disbelief at my words.
I looked up at her, my expression still submissive, but my tone was resolute: "If you want to use this Living Fat, you must take the fat from a loved one; it will be more effective."
Madam stared at me intently, seemingly weighing the truth of my words.
I remained still under her scrutiny.
After a long moment, Madam took a deep breath and sat back down on the sofa, "Then let’s do it; let it be her."
"Madam!" Xiao Cui exclaimed in shock from the side.
Madam shot her a glance, "If I become beautiful, Commander will like me. If Commander likes me, what’s killing you?"
Xiao Cui fell to the ground in fear.
Madam turned to me and asked, "How many days can this Living Fat last?"
"Three days," I replied with my head still lowered. "You can try it out first."
Madam squinted her eyes and beckoned to the servant.
The maid hurried forward.
Madam whispered a few instructions, and the maid went out.
Soon, the maid returned, holding a set of clothes and jewelry.
Madam sat in front of the dressing mirror, elegantly lifting her head.
The maid immediately began to assist her in getting ready.
I looked at Xiao Cui's pale face and whispered, "Tonight, you will die."
Xiao Cui froze suddenly.
Madam sent someone to invite the Commander to her room.
When the Commander saw the transformed Madam, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
That night, the two shared a passionate time together, indulging for quite a while.
From then on, Madam regained her favor.
Of course, she began to use Living Fat.
But oil, after all, would eventually run out.
