Lu Zhengming lounged lazily in his dining chair, stark naked, refusing to let Yin Yan put on any clothes either. The latter was busy at the kitchen counter. His gaze clung to Yin Yan the entire time. He found that back view stunning from every angle. Whether standing like now or lying down as he had just moments ago. There were traces of training in that physique, but it hadn’t been sculpted with obsessive fat-cutting. It was firm enough, yet the lines weren’t harsh. Lu Zhengming recalled the way…- 136.3 K • Ongoing
- The French old man hired for the job was originally named Pierre, but he insisted that people call him Pedro with a Spanish pronunciation, because his mother was Spanish and he was a big fan of the Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar. Pedro said he liked the intense kind of passion in The Law of Desire… He thought for a moment and used an English word: "passion." How do you say it in Chinese?" "激情." (Passion.) Lu Zhengming didn't quite understand how someone of his age could have so much…

- When Yin Yan received the phone call, it was morning. He was in the middle of class, simultaneously playing a slideshow and explaining the art of Italian Renaissance frescoes to his students. Lu Zhengming’s voice sounded weak, using a mix of serious demeanor and incoherent speech to report his address. Yin Yan remained silent, listening without interrupting until Lu Zhengming hung up. He then assigned the students a copying exercise before stepping out of the classroom. As he passed by the…

"Nope." There was no point in arguing with a drunk person. Yan Mu chose not to elaborate and simply stated, "You packed it yourself. Go take a shower first." "?" Jiang Zhihuo inquired, "Why would I be the one to pack the suitcase?" Yan Mu didn't give him a chance to argue and said, "You go inside first. I'll get your clothes." The drunk Jiang Zhihuo stood there in a daze for quite some time, sensing that something was wrong but unable to identify what it was. His thoughts were clouded, and nothing…- 369.8 K • Completed
The black umbrella leaned against the door, and as they passed a small bend, it tipped over, resting against Zhou Jun’s left leg. Water droplets from the silk surface soaked into his clothing, dampening his ankles. It was quiet inside the car. Zhou Jun remained unmoved and silent for a long time. Finally, after letting out a soft sigh, he moved. Bracing himself against the seat, he curled his body as much as possible and settled onto Yong Jin’s lap. He made no effort to support himself, allowing all…- 152.1 K • Completed
- It was hot, too hot that his vision blurred from the heat. A bead of perspiration hung on his eyelashes, and soon a round dark spot appeared on the carpet. He trembled as he closed his eyes, trying to bring his legs together, but they ached painfully. So he let out a grunt, unhappily spitting out the soaked gun. His cheek rubbed against the carpet, causing him great pain. His arms ached too. It felt as if he had been wronged; sweat trickled down his delicate, velvety cheeks, like tears. His red skin was…

- A large light, as big as the moon, spun above the dance floor, casting a dim glow that felt cold and lifeless, like a love that had lost its warmth. It reflected the dullness in Zhou’s eyes, which seemed almost devoid of color. When he turned his face away, her kiss missed its target. Miss Wen pouted, feeling both frustrated and confused. She gripped Zhou’s arm tightly, her nails digging into his suit, nearly piercing his skin. The movie came to a sudden end, and it wasn’t a joyful conclusion. As…

- Yong Jin, the famous Major General. Zhou Jun knew him, but Yong Jin did not know him. There were countless rumors about this general. He was known for his romantic affairs with many beautiful companions. He was also ruthless, with a strong grip, and had been involved in some shocking events. When his housemaid did laundry, it was Shirley who spoke with Zhou Jun. He had no idea that he had unintentionally gotten involved with a dangerous rose. Behind the allure of the rose hid a fierce tiger. Shirley…

- A man in a sky-blue bathrobe lounged on the sofa, his rolled-up sleeves revealing a slender wrist. He held a cigarette to his mouth, exhaling a puff of gray-white smoke while leaning casually closer to the telephone and speaking softly. His English was gentle and clear and when he spoke quickly, it was like cotton rolling through a pile of sugar, each sound delicately brushing against the listener’s heart, leaving a tingly sensation and a sweet aftertaste. The housemaid brought him tea and quickly…

The next morning, as the sun rose in the east, light spread across the vast, misty waters of Mochou Lake. Outside the Chanhua tower, a long wooden walkway stretched over the lake, vanishing into the morning haze. Young cultivators had gathered early, lining up along the path, though none dared to step into the mist-covered waters beyond. At the first quarter of the morning hour, a massive riverboat approached from the east. The sharp-eyed among them quickly spotted the emblem of the Wang clan of…- 165.0 K • Ongoing
