Origin and Story of 一发破的
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, prominent noblemen Wang Kai and Wang Ji often engaged in gambling and competitions. Wang Kai possessed a remarkably swift ox named 'Eight-Hundred-Mile Dragon', which they once used as a wager for an archery contest.
With a single shot, Wang Ji accurately hit the target and thereby won the ox. He then killed the ox, extracted its heart, and ate it, leaving Wang Kai utterly dejected and lamenting his bad luck.
