Chapter 68: Burning Beans to Boil the Stalks The gold knife came down, slicing through flesh. Warm blood splashed across the face. His hand reached downward and touched something slick and squirming—entrails writhing like water between his fingers. He extracted a bone, shaved and drilled it, washed it in the Ming Sea’s waters, and there it was: a clean, polished fragment. But one piece was too short. He twisted sinew into thread, strung the bone pieces together—and forged a bone bow. In the…- 450.2 K • Completed
- Chapter 69: The Fire Carries On After the Fuel Is Gone Within the Qingyu Gao Palace, ten thousand candles blazed, and in the Hall of Light, nine dragons cradled the sun in relief. At the center stood a gilded brass throne. Yu Ji Guard sat in the golden glow, turning a cinnabar-red vial over in his hand, deep in thought. A soldier entered and reported, “Lord Yu Ji Guard, Yan Xin of Lei Ze Camp has died.” Yu Ji Guard returned to himself and smiled. “Excellent. Who struck the blow?” “It…

- Chapter 70: The Name Lives On After the Man Is Gone A murky haze cloaked the sun; fine rain fell in veils. On the pleasure boat’s upper deck, the group sat around a wooden table, propping their chins in thought. Fang Jingyu sat at the center, arms crossed and eyes closed, calm as a stone statue. Earlier, he had told them of his plan to head to Qingyu Gao Palace in five days to challenge Yu Ji Guard. He ended with, “I will not sit and await death. That day, I will face Yu Ji Guard and settle…

If it had been like before, or even just after coming to Seoul, he might have quietly gone back after hearing Kim Taeyoung’s words. But now, Hakyung had his own reason for staying in Seoul. And no matter how he looked at it, in this situation, it wasn’t Kim Taeyoung who should be angry—it was himself. Hakyung, bracing himself, shook his head firmly. “No.” “What…?” At his refusal, Taeyoung’s brows knit together. Letting out a scoff, Taeyoung took a step closer. The strong scent…- 210.6 K • Completed
- He had figured it out—Kim Taeyoung had figured out how Hakyung felt. Hakyung desperately wanted to get out of there. If he stayed a moment longer, it felt like that irritating mouth would blurt out exactly what was in his heart. “Hm? Isn’t that right, Hakyung?” “……” Hakyung kept his lips firmly shut, unable to figure out what answer might steer Taeyoung’s attention away. Then, unexpectedly, a voice came from above him. “Of course he does. I’ve saved his life twice, and…

- “You kept asking me to come.” “Yeah, I did. I asked you to. But I didn’t think you’d actually show up. Was it that cute kid that got you moving?” Muheon didn’t bother responding to the teasing question, but Huang Lin, who understood what that silence meant, burst out laughing. Clapping Muheon on the shoulder, Huang Lin motioned for them to go in and started leading the way. And the whole scene was clearly witnessed by Kim Taeyoung, who stood there, stunned. He’d heard this man…

- Hakyung, an accomplice though not quite a willing one, was just as flustered as Kim Taeyoung. It felt like the boss somehow knew that the voice Taeyoung had stolen was actually his. Hakyung had written, composed, and recorded the song himself, but the final version had been completed by Taeyoung. He’d used software to slightly alter Hakyung’s voice. So even though it sounded similar to Hakyung’s, it wasn’t exactly the same—not enough for even his own ears to be certain. In fact, his younger…

- Chapter 71: Cocooned in One’s Own Trap When Chu Kuang awoke, the sky was already black as ink. His head throbbed like it was about to split open. It felt as though he were on the verge of remembering something, his mind flashing with images he had never seen before. But his neck hurt even more. He reached up and touched it—there was a burning handprint still there. At that moment, he remembered: it was Fang Jingyu who had throttled him unconscious. Fury surged through him. He tried to get out…

- Like a gentle spring rain, the kiss fell softly and warmly, tinting Hakyung’s face a lovely shade of pink. To think he’d go straight for a kiss right after asking to date… Just like a naughty boss! And yet, he loved it. When the long kiss finally paused, Hakyung narrowed his eyes and asked, “Boss, you’re awfully good at kissing…” He liked it, but he didn’t. Caught in the confusion, Hakyung pouted. At the river dolphin’s adorable complaint, Muheon just grinned without saying a…

- “Your Grace! You must come to your senses…!” “Quiet.” “…What?” Aeryl blinked in confusion as he was shoved under the desk. ‘What. What is he doing?’ And of all places, what ended up at his eye level was the Grand Duke’s lower body. Because he had to shove Aeryl in, the Grand Duke was now sitting with his legs slightly apart—putting them far too close. Even through the trousers, that gave off an overwhelming presence, and Aeryl’s eyes kept drifting toward…
