Shen Mengzhen arrived with a grand floating palace, on which he had hired an orchestra and singing courtesans. The journey downstream was accompanied by the sounds of flutes, zithers, strings, drums, and music, the air was filled with fragrance. In the clear spring breeze, behind the pearl curtains and gauze draperies of the floating palace, the courtesans sang melodiously. The lute notes carried verses embroidered with poetry, drifting along the river. The scholars from the Imperial Academy wrote poems…- 643.5 K • Completed

- 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…

Yohan’s eyes widened. I’m a stronger awakener than my brother?That was his first thought, then he belatedly processed the word Lee Hyunmook had added: purification. Instead of being surprised again, he tilted his head in confusion. Purification? He prided himself on knowing all the classification types for awakeners, but this was the first time he’d heard of such an ability. “You can cure corruption.” Stunned, Yohan couldn’t accept Lee Hyunmook’s words right away. The idea that he could…- 297.5 K • Completed
- 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…

- Li Meiya soon met the Emperor. Kneeling there, he could hardly believe that merely meeting with the Prince's late concubine had drawn the attention of the Imperial Guard, and now even the Emperor himself was interrogating him. Xie Yi hurriedly walked in, wearing his dark dragon robe. With a sweep of his robes, he sat down, glanced at Li Meiya, and asked, "Speak. I have no patience." Li Meiya was bewildered. "Your Majesty has been sending people to follow Chu Wei?" Xie Yi sneered. "I'm…

- 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
