He had long since reached a realm where heat and cold no longer touched him, where even his senses dulled to the world around him, yet now, his body trembled. Was that just the chill that comes with death? But the sensation of the rain was far too vivid. Maybe this was that last moment of clarity before death. Once, he had stood at the top of the righteous martial world… and now, this was how he died. Though he was still breathing faintly, his mind felt like it was drifting near the edge…- 125.4 K • Ongoing
- "You knew that I told her to watch over you." Yae Jinrang’s voice fell cold over Woo’s head, colder than winter frost. For an ordinary person, just sensing the killing intent in that voice would have been enough to make their knees give out. But Woo only lowered his head in silence. "Why didn’t you send the message through her?" Jinrang’s hand gestured subtly beyond the forest, pointing with uncanny precision to the very spot where Yeonjin was waiting for Woo. Even with the bamboo…

- Kang Oh flipped through the pages, reviewing the bribes the Third Overseer had received over the years and listing the names of those who had given them. Four names stood out near the top. “Seop Gil Im, Seop Gil Hoon, Seop Hoon yeo, Seop Gil Ji? “They’ve taken quite a lot.” At Kang Oh’s muttered words, Il Woon frowned slightly and replied under his breath. “None of those names sound familiar.” “I thought the same.” Kang Oh shrugged and began writing the four names on a…

- “For now, I will apply acupuncture to ease his stomach. However, until the indigestion fully settles, he will likely continue to feel discomfort. It would be unwise to wake him by force, but if he opens his eyes, I will prepare a decoction to help with digestion.” “I understand. You may go.” The physician paused. He had thought the Lord would entrust the child to others, as was customary, and that his role would end there. But it seemed he intended to tend to the boy himself. Someone in…

- Dan Woo Hyo was only one man, yet the work that fell on him came in waves like a mountain crashing down. “So, what brings you here?” He pressed his fingers lightly against the corners of his tired eyes as he spoke. Paeng Soso hesitated for a moment before answering. “Do you remember the boy you brought back with you?” Woo Hyo’s hand paused. Of course he remembered. That boy was like an old text he hadn’t dared to open, one he kept putting off again and again. The final journey…

- “If that happens, I’ll be the one to die.” Her voice trembled as she murmured. If Kang Oh put his own life on the line, then Woo, on the other side of the scale, would live. But the game had grown far too large for Yeonjin to handle anymore. It had only been yesterday that she decided to take a chance on the Third Disciple. If the First Overseer was acting under the Lord of Heukcheon’s command, then only Kang Oh stood a chance at stopping them. Yae Jinrang, who feared nothing beneath the…

- Yeonjin didn’t stop running until she reached the back yard behind the servants’ quarters. After rounding the corner and making sure no one was around, she leaned against a pillar and slid to the ground. The bowl she had been holding tumbled to the floor with a dull clatter. She buried her face in her knees. It had all begun with something simple. Greed, and maybe ambition. With nothing to her name, she had seized the First Overseer’s offer the moment it came. She believed it was her one and only…

- When Jinrang returned, he was holding a shallow porcelain bowl. He poured the contents into Woo Hyo’s mouth. Woo Hyo coughed and spilled some, but Jinrang remained expressionless and paid it no mind. "In your current condition, you won’t be able to stand on your own. I’ll notify Baekragung for now. I’ll give you paper, so write the letter yourself. Since I pulled you back from the edge of death, make sure your words are careful enough not to cause any misunderstanding." "Didn’t you hear me…

In early spring, just after the Waking of Insects Jingzhe (驚蟄, Awakening of Insects — the solar term when hibernating insects emerge,sword rain fell upon Hangu Pass. Lu Yunting of the Jingbo Sword and Jin Man, The Second Lord of Wuhou Manor, had fought their way from the Luo River all the way to the gates of Hangu Pass. Their sword qi tore through wind and rain, nearly shredding the banners fluttering atop the arrow tower. The general defending the pass could only suppress his fury and ordered his…- 165.0 K • Ongoing
- “……” Six months might seem long to some, but it was far too short to be called forgiveness. Woo silently watched Kang Oh’s back as he walked away with steady steps. He seemed unusually composed. And yet, the calmness in his posture felt heavy today. His shoulders looked burdened. There was anger in Kang Oh’s voice. Woo reached out toward his back, but his hand stopped midair. What was he even planning to do by reaching out? Offer comfort? Criticize Mo Yong Yuun? He…
