That must have felt good, Yasin.” “They’re asking if they can learn more… like how to make tapestries or use Herut techniques. But… would it be a problem if I taught that here?” “Why would that be a problem? I think it’s a great idea.” “It’s just… quite a few people…- 396.9 K • Completed
- However, since he spent most of the day out and about, it was usually Wadiram, Huyan, or Shane who took turns waiting in the tent.

I was adopted when I was young,” she replied. “Ah… I apologize,” Yudit said, realizing his mistake. “It’s fine,” the woman shook her head nonchalantly. “Let me formally introduce myself.

- Prologue It was a bleak night. With neither the moon nor the stars in sight, the area around the imperial palace was much darker than usual. A long shadow stretched before the chambers of the Fifth Prince. ‘No guards… huh.’ Khalid clicked his tongue inwardly. Even if he had been cast aside, he was still a prince of the empire.

Prologue In the Sect Leader’s garden, once filled only with frozen purple magnolias, bright red camellias had bloomed. The first to notice the flowers was none other than his bride, Seolyeong. Twirling strands of dark, reddish hair under the sunlight, Seolyeong crouched like a street punk. “Oh. It actually bloomed.” It was a heartless blooming. He was dying of frustration, caught in a cold war for days now with the one person he had wanted to show the flowers to. “You bloomed so…- 253.5 K • Completed
The spacious warehouse echoed with music that kept starting and stopping. Every time it played a few lines, it would cut off, only to start again from the beginning less than a minute later. “Fuck!” Completely fed up, Shi Yi finally cursed out loud and reluctantly crawled over Ying Ming’s body to search for the phone they had apparently tossed somewhere the night before. Without his glasses, his vision was a blur. He nearly tripped and fell several times. After finally fishing the phone out…- 283.2 K • Completed

- Ying Ming and Shi Yi got the photos and immediately notified Wang Yiqi. After that, Shi Yi called in every favor he could and got in touch with every relevant media outlet, demanding they suppress any news about him.

- On the drive back, Shi Yi was the one behind the wheel. Ying Ming leaned back in the seat, eyes resting on the red taillights ahead. His mind was a mess of thoughts, each one slipping away before it could settle. He waited for Shi Yi to speak, but the silence stretched on. Shi Yi said nothing.
