"Dongzi, you three stay inside. If that Wen guy rings the doorbell, do not open it no matter what. You do not have to do anything. Leave the rest to me." Mu Yuan hung up and sped back to his building as fast as he could, rushing up by elevator. Wen Shang was already standing outside Mu Yuan’s apartment, having rung the doorbell a few times. After waiting for several minutes without anyone answering, he found it strange and pulled out his phone to call Xiao Xing. The other end of the line said the…- 147.2 K • Completed
- Last night’s heavy rain had washed away all the lingering summer heat from the city.The temperature dropped sharply, and just like that, it stepped into deep autumn.

But as soon as he stepped outside, a cold gust of wind hit him head-on. He shivered, turned around, and rushed back into the house to grab a long-sleeved jacket. After…

It was already past midnight.Wen Shang replied: Why aren't you asleep yet? Xiao Xing responded quickly: I just finished working overtime at the company. Just got off and heading home now. Wen Shang: That’s pretty late. Be careful on your way back. Xiao Xing: Don’t worry. I’m a grown man, not some girl. Nothing to be afraid…

- “Dongzi!” He Dongying had just walked out of the restroom when Mu Yuan, shouting loudly, threw himself at him, clinging onto him like a koala. He Dongying couldn’t keep his footing and fell heavily backward. “Fuck! What the hell is wrong with you?!” He Dongying struggled to push him off, but Mu Yuan clung to him tighter than an octopus’ suction cups, refusing to let go. “Dongzi! You have to save me this time! I’m in deep shit!” “Let go of me first!” He Dongying, feeling…

- As soon as he returned to his team, Mu Yuan grabbed the roster and flipped through it. His eyes skimmed past the earlier names and went straight to the participant list for Quan Xing’s team. There, printed clearly in black ink against the white paper, were two familiar characters: "Wen Shang." "What the hell!"Mu Yuan’s eyes widened as he checked it again and again, unable to believe it."What the hell is going on?" At that moment, Quan Xing’s leader, Shen Dandong, happened to walk over to…
- Almost everyone in the city knew that Luo Yi, the richest man around, had recently taken in a street punk as his godson. His name was Mu Yuan, and he was ridiculously spoiled. That kid’s gangster background had nothing in common with Luo Yi’s aristocratic lineage. Rumors flew. Some said Mu Yuan was Luo Yi’s long-lost illegitimate son. Others whispered that he was Luo Yi’s kept boy. Some even claimed that Luo Yi must have been cursed with black magic. Speculations spread everywhere, but no one…

“Alright. Today's chores done!” I'd been helping these three with their assigned tasks these past few days. Gathering firewood, picking mushrooms and berries, or fishing for them like today. At first, I was on edge, worried the adults might catch us. I couldn't sit still for a moment, constantly anxious. All my attention was focused on the village. But nothing happened. Just as Rotol had assured me. The adults rarely came near, let alone to the opposite side of the lake. “If…- 171.8 K • Completed
- I stepped down into the forest near the village. The girl in my mouth grew bolder. Before setting her down, she looked at me with starlight-dusted eyes and stroked my nose gently. I felt like I was about to sneeze. I wished she would stop. The two boys stiffened. Even after the girl untied them, they clung to my legs like they were frozen solid, unable to move. The girl sighed and tapped their shoulders. The two drenched cats jumped up and ran behind a tree. While I was distracted by…

- Criminals were dragged out one after another and tied together with ropes. Kaelus directed the scene with a cold expression. The more he thought about it, the more absurd it felt. He had gathered all of the family’s knights and headed out the moment he found the note on the white table. Nitan had cautiously suggested that this might be a bit excessive. He warned that since it was the Founding Festival period, people might use such heavy-handed movements as an excuse to cause trouble. Kaelus…
