The sun hung high in the sky, and it was now noon, the most difficult time of day for the princes who were being punished with kneeling before the hall. The Second Prince, Mu Xiao, had gotten his wish and was now furnished with cotton pads and knee pads, leaving him quite satisfied. However, when he turned his head and saw Gao Jili serving Mu Yun with iced rock sugar and white fungus soup, which looked sweet, refreshing, and very thirst-quenching, Mu Xiao's satisfaction immediately vanished. His face…- 41.2 K • Ongoing
- Regarding the final verdict, it turned out that Wei Zhao had worried for nothing. After Emperor Changping expressed his willingness to use his private funds to purchase two luxurious mansions in the most scenic area of the capital's suburbs as compensation, the little Crown Prince, without even batting an eyelid, accepted the Emperor's "kind intentions" and "punishment." It was free real estate. Why refuse free stuff? He was used to being labeled a troublemaker anyway; one more stain wouldn't…

The "Gate" was a concept from the dark ancient civilization, representing madness, bloodshed, and ignorance. This was a form of large-scale sacrificial ritual. During the Great Dark Age, sacrifices were categorized in countless ways. Some nations used corpses as road markers across vast stretches of land, while others would slaughter everyone important to them—the more brutal, the better—in hopes of generating some form of intense, agonizing energy to resonate with the deeper darkness. They went to…- 513.7 K • Completed
Hwi stood on the narrow wooden space, stretching his limbs as he inhaled the crisp morning air. Back in the Mir Kingdom, he had been suppressing his madness with pills manufactured by the imperial physicians, but even that remedy was reaching its limit. The medicine they presented each year grew increasingly potent, and one of the side effects of such a strong concoction was the inability to sleep deeply or for any significant length of time. It hadn't always been this way. There was a time…- 19.8 K • Ongoing
- Wei Zhao clearly felt the slight tremor in the skin under his fingers when he touched Mu Jue's arm. Although it was faint, how could it escape the detection of Marquis Wei, whose inner force was profound and whose five senses were extremely sharp. Wei Zhao couldn't help but think of the soft, gentle touch of the little Crown Prince when he was close to him. He seemed so docile and completely unguarded. So, not all members of the royal family had the talent for acting. There was only one cunning…

- This was a small-scale gunfight. By the time Wei An arrived, the chase had already ended. The faint smell of gunpowder hung in the air, and voices could be heard ahead. "Are they from the Federal Military?" one person asked. "Probably," another replied. "Are they all cleared out? Just these two?" "There's one more—got him." "Make sure to catch them. We can't let them send any information out." "It's not like they could find anything useful anyway." Wei An continued forward. The…

- “Mmm……” “Shh…… It’s alright.” Perhaps feeling confined by the tight embrace, Yoo-ha moaned in his sleep. Ye-hwi infused a bit more heat into the brazier hovering in the center of the room and gently stroked Yoo-ha’s back. He spoke softly, his voice a low murmur as if soothing a fitful child. Seong Yoo-ha was a man who succumbed to the cold easily. Even though winter had yet to fully arrive, he spent every night curled into a tight ball. His sleep was usually so…

- The two continued forward, gradually approaching the deeper parts of the hotel. At one point, Wei An and Gui Ling passed by a massive glass wall, through which they could see the plaza outside. It was only three in the afternoon, but dark, ink-like clouds had spread across the sky. The clamor from the ground seemed distant, while the sky appeared ominous and desolate. Countless windproof candles had been lit in the plaza, illuminating the dim photographs of memorial tributes. Yet, the sounds of…

It was three in the morning when Qin Zhan finally returned home from the bar. As he passed through the alley, his usual shortcut, he noticed a child's birthday candle, burned to its stub and discarded on top of an air conditioner unit—an incongruous sight in this setting. Near the warehouse, an elderly man was rummaging through trash bins, scavenging for recyclables. Pinching his nose against the stench, he pulled out a black plastic bag. But when he tried to pull out the contents, he suddenly…- 43.1 K • Ongoing
- As soon as Wei Zhao left, Gao Jili stealthily crept into the bedroom, "Your Highness, quickly get up and eat your midnight snack." The freshly made mung bean cakes were specially wrapped by him in three layers of oil paper. He carried them in his bosom, and they were still very warm. Behind the bed curtains, Mu Yun, who was concentrating on "feigning unconsciousness," slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and bright. He lazily stretched and yawned before sitting up, showing no signs of being…
