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,…- 643.5 K • Completed
The way he reacted was like someone who had forgotten his own name for a very long time. Yohan instinctively sensed something was wrong. The same question that had haunted him before he lost consciousness returned to his mind: Was this really a human being? Not just some thing pretending to be human? He groped along the ground to support himself, but before he could even spring to his feet, Lee Hyunmook grabbed him. The crushing grip around his arm felt like a hydraulic press, and Yohan screamed…- 297.5 K • Completed
- Governor Lei Ming knelt in the main hall, drenched in sweat despite the chill of December, with the cold floor sending shivers up his spine. Xie Yi seemed rather at ease, seated above with a token from the governor's desk in his hand, casually examining it while saying, "Your family hails from a military lineage, inheriting a position within the court. During your time as a deputy minister in the Ministry of War, you were ambitious and made quite an impact with your bold words. The emperor has taken…

- Fang Zixing received his orders and left to pick up Xu Chun. Xie Yi got up and instructed Su Huaibei to fetch his outer robe, then added after some thought, “Bring me a Ma Huang Pingchuan Pill.” He glanced at the sky, then said, “Remove two lamps.” He put on his outer robe and checked himself in the mirror. Seeing that the flush of fever had yet to fade from his cheeks, which still bore a slight redness, he thought it didn't make him look too terrible. He took a few steps and looked down to see…

- 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 picked up his brush and, following Li Meiyai's suggestion, casually sketched a few strokes of a lotus flower swaying in the wind and half a lotus leaf. A servant promptly took it away. Most of the other guests were writing poems, but the other Daoist simply sat there unmoved. Soon, the inner chamber's pearl curtain rustled slightly, and a girl with two buns sauntered out. She wore a pale yellow gauze blouse, her features still youthful, and she bowed deeply, "Esteemed gentlemen, your elegant…

- 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
