“You’re really funny, Brother,” Miss Liang giggled, clearly not taking Lian Ai’s words seriously. Great Qi’s customs had always leaned liberal. The boundaries between men and women were not strictly drawn. Besides, in her mind, Lian Ai was merely a bedslave. Though a man, he was no different from a woman in essence. Otherwise, why would the Prime Minister invite him to a ladies’ flower-viewing banquet? She tugged on Lian Ai’s hand and led him toward a group of noble young ladies,…- 157.9 K • Completed
- Bu Nian’s voice was not loud, but it was certainly not soft either. Everyone present heard it clearly. Che Jie had not expected such a coincidence. The beauty he had just admired turned out to be the wife of Great Qi’s Grand General. Though he felt a pang of regret, he could not help but feel a strange sense of satisfaction. His taste was excellent, after all. He was rough around the edges, but not a fool. Knowing the beauty already belonged to someone else, especially someone he could not afford…

- Bu Nian returned from the palace and saw a plate of soft, snow-white pastries laid out on the table. They looked no different from the ones he usually ate, so he casually picked up a piece and popped it into his mouth. He chewed twice, then suddenly stopped. His brows began to furrow. It would be improper to spit food back out, especially once it had already entered his mouth, but he had no desire to keep tasting it. With no better option, he forced himself to swallow it down like a bitter pill. Once…

- Lian Ai sat on the stool while Bu Nian stood behind him, helping dry and comb his freshly washed long hair. His hair was thick and dark. If it wasn’t combed through properly, it would take a long time to dry. Because of Lian Ai’s injured hands, Bu Nian had been returning early to the general’s residence for the past three days. At night, he handled his official duties in the study, all to prove to Lian Ai that he was capable of looking after someone. The thought was sincere. The problem was,…

Benjamin lowered the night-vision binoculars and turned to the coldly composed Geoffrey. “They’re out, but it’s not just four of them. Looks like six…” Standing nearby, Noè raised an eyebrow, then smiled slyly. “Geoffrey, your little prey is quite something. Always full of surprises.” Geoffrey replied indifferently, “It could be a coincidence. Tonight’s a big night at Mammon Prison.” He turned to address the others. “Let me make this clear. Deal with the others however you…- 117.3 K • Completed
- Mo Zimu watched Mammon slowly disappear into the vast night, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. It was an instinct he had developed after surviving countless life-and-death situations over the years. He quickly turned around, just as a flash of cold light swept across his vital spot. A Japanese man wielding a curved blade swung it in front of him, missing with the first strike. Without blinking, he bent the blade and countered with a horizontal slash. Mo Zimu couldn't help but cry out in…

“Listen carefully. There is no proper doctor on this island. You must know this from seeing the state of things here. But I can get you some medicine that will probably help you get through the hardest part. You’ll get some restful sleep for a while.” Silver paused for a moment. “It’s a drug. You understand what I’m saying, right?” Suffy-Nosed Mouse stared at Silver. His pitch-black pupils, enveloped in amber light, repeatedly dilated and constricted. There was no sign of…- 132.7 K • Ongoing
Chapter 28: The Old House Catches Fire After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Shen Hechuan dropped Qiao Le off and returned to the office. Before leaving, he reminded Qiao Le not to bring too many things—everything at home was newly prepared. Once Qiao Le got home, he first put away the marriage certificate, then called the director who had helped him take a leave of absence back then to ask about the procedure and materials needed for re-enrollment. The director was very surprised to…- 182.5 K • Completed
- Chapter 29 – Besieged on All Sides Shen Hechuan’s master bedroom was huge—so was the bed! Qiao Le stared at the massive bed in the center of the room—no less than 2.2 meters wide—and couldn’t stop his mind from replaying the chaotic aftermath of their drunken night together. Even though he and Shen Hechuan were in a marriage of convenience, they were technically newlyweds. If they were going to share a room and a bed, it’d be hard to say nothing inappropriate would happen between…

- Chapter 30: Identity Confirmation After dropping Qiao Le off, Shen Hechuan had planned to take Qiao Man to KFC. But the little guy’s sharp eyes spotted an arcade next to the hotel, and on a whim, he wanted to go catch some claw machine toys. So Shen Hechuan simply parked nearby, got out with Qiao Man, and that’s when he saw Zhao Lei talking to Qiao Le. As he walked closer, he overheard Zhao Lei asking Qiao Le for his WeChat—saying it was to invite him out for drinks next…
