Chapter 21: If It Can’t Be Cured, He’ll Die Within Five Years Jiang Chuang acted swiftly, he’d said he was going to invite a divine physician, and sure enough, the very next day, he brought one back. But along with the divine physician came an uninvited guest, someone who had tagged along without being asked. Both men were striking in appearance and carried themselves with great presence. To avoid attracting attention, Jiang Chuang had them enter through the back gate. The two of them…- 166.6 K • Completed
These days, if you ask people on the street what business is the most profitable, eight out of ten would answer: real estate. And why not? With the economy booming and prices skyrocketing, housing prices have risen accordingly. Borrowing money from banks, issuing IOUs to construction workers, setting up a sales center, and selling pre-sale properties to recoup costs—as long as you can navigate the relevant departments, the real estate industry is essentially a game of making something out of nothing.…- 380.6 K • Completed
That person was really asking for trouble. Making such dismissive comments in front of a student from No. 1 High School, saying things like, “This school is just like that”—would make anyone uncomfortable. A hot-tempered boy asked directly, "What do you mean?" Hearing someone challenge him, the speaker became interested. “I’m just stating the truth, aren’t I?” He had always thought that No. 1 High School was full of timid, glasses-wearing students. What’s the use of excellent…- 369.8 K • Completed
On Monday morning, when Li Tang descended downstairs, it was no surprise to see a gift box placed on the dining table. Auntie came out from the kitchen, wiping her hands, "This was sent back by Master. He said it's your birthday present." Taking a bite of the fried dough stick, chewing slowly, he opened the box to find a watch inside. He usually didn't have much appetite in the morning. Li Tang drank half a cup of soy milk, then returned upstairs, opening the drawer of his bedroom cabinet, tossing…- 197.1 K • Completed
As night deepened and the dew grew heavy, the palace gates opened silently, layer by layer, allowing the imperial sedan chair to pass through until it reached the front of Suiyu Hall. Xie Yi stepped down from the dragon sedan chair and quickly walked into Suiyu Hall, his robes fluttering in the wind, his face stern and cold. The eunuchs following behind him held their breath, following closely and silently. The hall was still brightly lit, filled with a subtle fragrance. Xu Chun was bent over his desk,…- 643.5 K • Completed
Xu Fei looked up and glanced at him. Liang Xuan added, “The press conference was held two weeks ago.” “The fans didn’t say anything?” Xu Fei asked. Liang Xuan shrugged. “Just the usual stuff.” Which meant he didn’t care enough to follow it. Xu Fei almost laughed. He picked up the cup, tested the temperature, then gulped the tea down in one go. He could feel Liang Xuan watching him. His gaze was calm, steady, the complete opposite of how Xu Fei felt. He really was a mess. He asked,…- 79.3 K • Completed
A brief exchange on WeChat. Jiang Ruo asked about the item left behind, and Xi Yufeng mentioned it was a script. It reminded Jiang Ruo that he had printed out extra copies of the "Skin" script before, with one placed under the coffee table, convenient for reading while lounging on the sofa. He had forgotten about it when moving out, so Jiang Ruo hesitantly asked, "Would it be too much trouble for you to mail it to me?" A few minutes later, Xi Yufeng replied, "It's not very convenient." It made…- 178.8 K • Completed
He really hasn’t contacted me once. Jaeha frowned slightly as he stared at the chatroom pinned at the top. There wasn’t any special reason he had pinned Seo Hamin’s chat. It was just that if he didn’t, it kept sinking down, almost like it would hit the bottom. That was all. But after that day, when Hamin really stopped showing up, Jaeha somehow felt irritated. What kind of stalker has so little persistence. Even if he was busy, couldn’t he at least send one message? As he thought…- 160.1 K • Completed
Leo could vividly imagine the face inside that car, inside the helmet, inside the mask, as if it were drawn before him. Erasing all the surrounding scenery, he focused solely on the intense gaze directed at the one spot he needed to see. At Turn 18, Harrison, having nearly caught up to Elias, activated DRS on the following straight. No matter how fast Elias was on the straights, the gap wasn’t so significant that Harrison couldn’t close it even with DRS. However, just ahead of Elias was a backmarker…- 165.2 K • Completed
- In the dim candlelight, an elderly voice echoed, "Has there been no news from the Imperial Medical Institute?" The old man with a golden crown and white hair held a pair of scissors, slowly trimming the lamp wick. The candle burned late into the night, its tears accumulating on the candlestick, flickering and illuminating the middle-aged man dressed in luxurious purple robes who was standing with his head bowed below. "The lanterns have yet to be hung," said the man in the purple robe with a hint of…
