“What are you talking about?” Only then did Lestel turn his gaze to Sharhan. Seeing the confusion in Lestel’s face, Sharhan sneered exaggeratedly. “You seem bothered because it’s someone who almost became your bride, huh? The way you looked at her was so dewy, I thought you’d smeared water all over your eyes.” In his head, he was thinking, ‘What do I care if that bastard Lestel looks at Ardelle or not?’ but his mouth moved on its own. He spat out the words and immediately…- 264.3 K • Completed
- Why would Parel’s name come up here…?’ Hadn’t that man gone to the capital? Sharhan stood frozen, startled by hearing a name he had never expected in a place far from the capital. In that brief moment of surprise, the door opened slightly. Through the narrow opening, barely two finger-widths wide, a small face peeked out, a young girl. With jet-black hair tied into two ponytails, similar to Sharhan’s own, she looked no older than five or six. “Uncle Parel?” From the girl’s…

- “Ailun Castle? Why would Iris be there?” “How would I know? About two years ago, I had to run an errand for my father and visited Ailun Castle. I only caught a glimpse of her from afar, but I recognized her right away. We’d seen each other often at parties, after all. Unlike you, Iris is adorable. I don’t know the full story, but…” Ardelle hesitated, then glanced at Lestel again before continuing cautiously. “She seemed to be under surveillance by the knights of House…

- “When did it start?” “It’s been about an hour.” Where Lestel’s gaze fell, a boy lay trembling as if in a seizure, his bloodshot eyes staring blankly into the air. His cracked, pale lips and skin as dry as parched earth made his suffering obvious. When Lestel reached out and touched the boy’s forehead, he clicked his tongue. It had only been a light touch, but the heat was so intense it startled him. “The seizure intervals are getting shorter.” “What did Yuel…

- Chapter 1: Verden “You want me to take on a bodyguard job?” Sharhan, who had been dragged half-asleep to the Verden branch of the mercenary guild, stared blankly as he repeated the question. Still groggy, he wasn’t even sure he’d heard it right. “Yeah.” “Bodyguard as in… protecting someone?” “Exactly! You just have to keep the client safe. Easy job for mercenaries like us who make a living with our bodies!” Abel grinned and gave Sharhan a wink as he slung an arm…

Chapter 99: We’ll Be Together for a Lifetime The two of them held each other, laughing and crying like fools, yet their hearts beat in sync, fully attuned to one another. They could read each other’s thoughts, and no barriers remained between them. Jiang Chuang finally composed himself, soaked a cloth, and gently wiped Wen Jue’s face before beginning to ramble: “I saw you as a child… and also our mother consort. Wen Xiao Yu, you were so plump and fair as a child, absolutely adorable.…- 166.6 K • Completed
- Chapter 98: Yun Chuan, I Love You! Before dispersing, the wisp of green smoke left behind a final parting message: “Zhiyu, Jiang Chuang, may we meet again in the next life if fate allows.” Bai Yuan, confused, called out, “Ancestor, what about me?” But the smoke surged straight toward Wen Jue’s side. A sudden gust of wind blew through the room, lifting his long hair into the air. Then the green smoke brushed gently over his head like a soft hand, and dissipated completely beside…

- Chapter 97: Did Husband Like Me a Little More Today? What unfolded before his eyes was a scene Wen Jue had never witnessed, and Yunchuan’s words nearly made him want to dig a hole and crawl into it from shame. H-He… how could he even talk about things like that with others?! He remembered how, after they were newly married, he had tried every trick he knew to flirt and seduce Yun Chuan, claiming he was afraid of thunder so he needed a hug, pretending to slip during a bath so Yunchuan would have…

- Chapter 96: How Can a Man Be This Adorable? Wen Jue thought he would finally meet Yunchuan again, but before he knew it, his body turned light once more, and his vision gradually cleared. Was he no longer blind? Yet he still couldn’t move. His mind was in turmoil, unable to grasp what day or year it was. Only when he saw his royal sister Wen Yan, dressed in dragon robes and seated at the desk in Yangxin Hall reading memorials, did he finally come to his senses. Slowly, he recalled everything…

- Chapter 95: Zhiyu’s Past Life Journey (Part 2) Wen Jue’s vision remained engulfed in darkness. Beside his ear, Changning’s voice sounded again. “Your Highness, it’s time for your medicine.” A breeze stirred. Wen Jue rubbed what was in his hand and realized it was a chess piece. This scene felt familiar, as if he had dreamt it before. Suddenly, an image flashed in his mind: he was seated in a pavilion, his eyes veiled with gauze, playing chess. Changning brought over a bowl of…
