Over the next seven years, time flew by like a galloping horse. Li Jiu lived through storms, battles, knives, and bullets, weathering it all. He was two years younger than Shi Anzhi, but by the time he arrived in that southern frontier city in the early 1980s, leading Xiao Shi and his men, he looked much older than Shi Anzhi. At the time, Z City was practically a wasteland. Most of the capable and ambitious locals had fled openly or secretly over the years. In truth, Li Jiu had also planned to…- 27.9 K • Completed
- When Li Jiu, covered in blood, crashed into Shi Anzhi’s shabby little house, the only thing ringing in his head was: “Debt comes quickly.” Shi Anzhi’s reaction was actually calmer than he expected. Though his face went pale, his hands didn’t shake at all. He cleaned Li Jiu’s wounds and applied medicine with steady hands, even using nylon fishing thread to stitch up the huge wound on his shoulder, deep enough to see the bone. Li Jiu’s face was deathly pale, sweat dripping down his face.…

“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…- 125.4 K • Ongoing
- 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…

- “……” 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…

The long-distance bus from Jiangzhou to Qingshui City was half empty, with passengers scattered sparsely throughout the cabin. Xiang Ye sat in the middle section of the bus, next to the aisle. On his left sat Song Ling. Across the aisle to his right was Shen Yanzhi. Slightly ahead of him, a little girl with braided pigtails, about five or six years old, kept peeking back at him, both curious and shy. After glancing at him, she would whisper to her grandmother beside her. “That big brother is so…- 42.6 K • Ongoing
He thought he shouldn't be running down, but by the time he came to his senses, he was already barefoot, rushing down two flights of stairs. His one foot was covered in black dust, and the small window in the hallway looked like a dark hole, with just a sliver of light landing on his foot. Zhou Jun leaned against the wall, lost in thought for a long time before letting out a deep sigh. He turned around and headed back. Holding onto the wall, he climbed back up step by step, piecing together memories. He…- 152.1 K • Completed
- Zhou Jun tightened his grip. His gaze grew distant, unfocused. He pulled Yong Jin away from the window and murmured, almost to himself, “Why me?” Yong Jin’s lips moved slightly, but he gave no answer. Zhou Jun cupped his face, his fingers pressing lightly against the corner of his mouth, feeling the damp warmth beneath his thumb. The confusion in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by something calmer, more resigned. His voice was soft, and the words that followed felt reckless, almost like a…

- “Sitting on pins and needles”—that phrase perfectly described Zhou Jun’s state of mind. The tension between Yong Jin and his older brother crackled in the air as they exchanged fierce stares. Zhou Jun sat awkwardly between them, glancing from one side to the other. He suddenly realized how ridiculous his earlier comment about having a wife had been. Zhou Yan looked at his foolish younger brother seated beside Yong Jin. His face was bruised, his clothes clearly borrowed, and his entire demeanor…

- A shameful sense of loss gripped Zhou Jun’s chest as he watched Yong Jin pull away. His body moved before his mind could catch up, and by the time he realized what he was doing, his fingers had already caught the edge of Yong Jin’s clothing. Yong Jin paused and lowered his gaze to look at the hand gripping his clothes. The phone rang again, more urgently this time, and Zhou Jun let go. His fingertips left shallow creases in the fabric. When Yong Jin stood up to answer the phone, Zhou Jun…
