In the wee hours of the night, Jiang Ruo returned to the dance studio with a cake adorned with three candles. Amidst the flickering flames, he wished Xi Yufeng a happy birthday. Xi Yufeng, who never celebrated his birthday, played along and blew out the candles. He guessed, "Each candle represents ten years?" Jiang Ruo shook his head. "No, each one represents a year. You're three years old this year." Xi Yufeng chuckled. Upon hearing that Jiang Ruo hadn't sublet or given up the rented…- 178.8 K • Completed

- With the eloquent interpretation of Miss Zao Lan, Captain Wilt and the head of the Rosal envoy fell into an unbearable awkwardness. No matter what country it was, parading warships near another nation's maritime borders always carried the suspicion of war. At such a time, if they didn't answer properly, they might immediately find themselves in a situation where they had no choice but to fight. However, their original intention today was just to get their people back. They thought that since the other…

- Xie Yi was clearly surprised by this sudden outpouring of praise, but having been raised in a position of power since his youth, he was accustomed to maintaining an inscrutable demeanor. He looked deeply at Fang Zijing and instructed, "There's no need for such formalities; everyone, please sit down. Do any of your excellencies have further questions?" Xie Yi was taciturn, and few ministers dared to speak freely in front of him on a daily basis. Grand Secretary of the Imperial Cabinet, Ouyang Shen,…

- In a flash, Ding Hai returned with the four servants named after the seasons. Upon their return, Fang Zixing led them to kneel outside the Suiyu Hall, ready to beg the Emperor for forgiveness. Xu Chun, however, was leading a group of guards carrying a cow's head, returning in high spirits from outside. Walking into the courtyard, he spotted Fang Zixing and Ding Hai, first startled then delighted. "Ding Hai, you're back? What happened?" Fang Zixing was first drawn to the sight of the cow's head. "What…

- After seeing off several envoys, Xu Chun was immediately surrounded by other merchants and some envoys from the South Seas. He had no choice but to make small talk for a while. Thinking about Xie Yi, he returned to the Star-Bathing Pavilion and saw Xie Yi flipping through his drawings on his desk. His heart pounded, fearing that one of his books wasn't hidden well enough. His face flushed slightly as he approached and asked, “Ninth Brother, what are you looking at?” Xie Yi had been bored and noticed…

- Xu Chun slept deeply, and when he woke up, the sun was high and bright outside his window, well past noon. He asked Wufu about the Emperor's schedule and learned that the Emperor had already finished his court session, seeing that Xu Chun was still asleep, and didn't disturb him. Instead, he returned to the Imperial Study for a brief rest and then summoned the Grand Secretariat for a meeting. Xu Chun felt uneasy, asking Wufu about the events at court and what happened to Minister Li. Wufu replied, "I…

- Zhuang Zhan left the palace in a daze. The next day, indeed, people came to ask him about the joint petition, but he merely shook his head and remained silent, refusing to leave his residence. Some well-informed individuals heard that his performance evaluation had been marked "mediocre" by the current emperor, and whispers began to circulate. Some reveled in his misfortune, while others who had befriended him in the past felt indignant on his behalf. But seeing him maintain his composure and elegance…

Before his regression, he’d been timid and scared—too much so to use his full ability. The result back then? Grade A. It was a high enough rank, and since Jiho hadn’t cared much about grades, he never tried to revise it. But things were different now. Jiho might be a little nervous, but he wasn’t afraid or holding back. If he didn’t deliberately suppress it, hitting S-rank wasn’t out of the question. “You can begin now,” came the researcher’s voice. Jiho didn’t…- 289.6 K • Completed
Shen Mo was drunk. It was February 4th, the beginning of spring, and also Ji Mingxuan’s birthday. Since they had reunited on S Island, Ji Mingxuan arranged time off this year to revisit the place with Shen Mo. This time, they stayed in a sea-view villa with a private pool. Sunshine, beach, coastline, candlelit dinner… everything was perfect. The only thing Ji Mingxuan had not anticipated was how poorly Shen Mo handled alcohol. Just two glasses of red wine and he was already drunk. Thankfully,…- 75.6 K • Completed
