Jiang Yibai was drunk, but his strength was unexpectedly immense. Si Shaorong's wrist was gripped so tightly that finger-shaped bruises began to bloom. He inhaled sharply. He had never seen Jiang Yibai like this before. It felt both unfamiliar and heartbreakingly tender. Still, something inside him remained tangled and uncomfortable. But when he looked into Jiang Yibai’s bloodshot eyes, something in him softened again. He didn’t want to keep arguing about who topped and who bottomed at a moment like…- 161.6 K • Completed
After gathering enough wild fruits, he fed Bu Nian two of them. But Bu Nian turned his face away and refused to eat any more. “Save the rest for later. We’ll eat them tonight.

Bu Nian instructed him to shave the dry wood into fine strands using the blade on his hairpin, pile them up, then pin the silver hairpin against the wood and rapidly spin it to create friction and…- 157.9 K • Completed
- Sure enough, when Father and Mother Chi learned about it, they held the same opinion as Chi Ling and were firmly against keeping the baby. Afraid Tan Yao might overthink things, Mother Chi even pulled her aside for a private heart-to-heart. “Yao Yao, our Chi Ling is just like his father, he’s stubborn as a mule. Once he’s set his mind on someone, he’ll never let go,” Mother Chi said with a smile. “When he first told us he liked you, his father and I were both surprised. Even before he won…

The dock was completely dark at midnight. No stars or moonlight could be seen in the sky. Only a faint glow from the manor in the distance stretched over the water, barely revealing the sea's outline. The waves crashed loudly, like a hidden monster baring its jaws and roaring at them. Si Cheng picked up the tied-up 'Si He,' who was the townsman Lev, and stepped into the canoe. Sure enough, the canoe didn't sink. Before Si Cheng had the chance to speak, Mi Anpei rushed forward and hopped into the…- 110.1 K • Ongoing
- Once dinner was over, tea and snacks were served, and it became a time for players to exchange information openly. Of course, with no maid monsters around, the snacks that were served ended up either raw or burnt, so most players politely turned them down. Lei Yingzhe and the players on the townspeople faction gathered together to go through the possible death flags that might have led to the deaths of three players today. He wasn't acting arrogant. He genuinely thought about the chance that the…

Eun Sanho’s eyes trembled with self-reproach when suddenly a large hand appeared in his sight and wrapped around his fingers that were reddened with scratches. “Eun Sanho-ssi, could you please say it one more time?” Eun Sanho flinched his shoulders but slowly lifted his head. Kim Gwanggong’s eyes, which he met again, were still calm for someone who had said frightening words. His gaze was still cold, but the warmth surrounding his hand was too direct. It was a warmth that could not be…- 99.6 K • Completed
- News of Zuo Lingxue’s death in childbirth reached Bu Nian while he was on the march. The report had been rushed out from the capital on fast horses. The moment Banxia received the encrypted message, he spurred his horse forward and rode up beside Bu Nian, leaning in to deliver the news in a quiet voice. Bu Nian was silent for a long time before he finally spoke. “This might be the best ending for her.” Banxia asked, “And her children?” Zuo Lingxue had given birth to twins, a boy and a…

Ye Lingwei slipped his hand out of Fei Lan's hold and pressed it against the windowsill beside him. "Wouldn't I lose a lot of face then?" Fei Lan let out a confused "Hmm?" "If I coax you just because you say so, wouldn't I lose a lot of face?" Ye Lingwei repeated leisurely. "Mm." Fei Lan stood before Ye Lingwei, his eyelids drooping slightly like a patch of wild grass stubble burned to ash. He paused for a moment and then softly said, "Gege then begs you to coax me. How about that?" Ye Lingwei…- 292.6 K • Completed
The next to speak was Chi Siyuan. He had already returned to his usual state, gently fanning himself with a folding fan. “I entered the study at about the third quarter of the xū hour—around 8:15 PM. Just as I arrived, I saw the Eldest Princess leaving. She can vouch for me.” Shen Youlian nodded, confirming that Chi Siyuan was telling the truth. Chi Siyuan continued, “My royal brother and I discussed matters regarding my fief. I stayed in the study for about fifteen minutes before I…- 248.3 K • Completed
