He was led to the building’s dining hall, a grand and luxurious space, with intricate murals, exquisite sculptures, and dazzling crystal chandeliers. It was every bit as opulent as a Baroque palace. At the far end of the long dining table sat Norton, watching Mo Zimu with a polite smile. Yet, the look in his eyes, framed behind gold-rimmed glasses, filled Mo Zimu with an unspeakable sense of disgust. "Have a seat, Seven," he said. Mo Zimu pulled out a chair and sat at the opposite end of the…- 117.3 K • Completed
- Just as Mo Zimu pulled out the chair, Rong Qing’s voice came from behind. "This is how you always are, isn’t it? Just like with Lin Lin. He lived for you and died for you, but when he disappeared, you didn’t even bother to ask. You let him be cut, piece by piece, as if he had never existed in your life." Mo Zimu lowered his head slightly. He took off his glasses, wiped the lenses gently with his slender index finger, and replied, "Lin Lin was different from you." Yes, Lin Lin was different. He…

The cold, silver metal device was retrieved and handed to Shen Wei. Shen Wei hooked the leather edge of the muzzle, weighing it in his palm. He slowly raised it into the air, gauging it against Jiang Yuan’s face to ensure the fit was correct. The VIP room was deathly quiet, save for the faint, thumping bass leaking in from outside. No one dared to move a muscle. Shen Wei rested one knee on the ground and turned his head toward his friends. "You guys go ahead and play. Don't mind us," Shen Wei…- 7.6 K • Ongoing

Chu Yin returned home. As soon as he opened the door, he was met with a pair of bloodshot eyes. Chen Meixian stood at the entrance, his usually gentle face icy cold as he suppressed his anger. "Brother Yin, do you know how many times I've called you?" Chu Yin brushed past him and flopped onto the sofa. "You never answer my calls either when you're out with some boy toy, do you?" Chen Meixian suddenly turned his head, staring at Chu Yin's open collar, his voice hoarse. "Did you sleep with…- 133.2 K • Completed
Polly couldn't quite explain why he had impulsively agreed to team up with that healer. Perhaps it was that phrase—"if the mountain doesn't move, the water will"—that had inadvertently struck a chord with him. In life, people go around in circles, and the same scenery is bound to appear more than once. The only difference lies in the emotions felt with each encounter. He hadn't moved to a new server because Mirage Server held too much for him—not just memories, good or bad, but something deeper.…- 509.5 K • Completed
When we look back at certain moments in time, we often find that the turning points of history come without warning, yet they redirect the flow of fate. —"Chronicles of Time, Volume IX: The Rebirth of Magic" "High-level magical beasts, dragons, and mermaids—these are the only intelligent races we can still encounter today." Under the night sky, the calm sea was a deep blue close to black. The moonlight and starlight fell together, and the people on the deck leaned against the ship's…- 224.9 K • Completed
December 14, 2023, 15:11:31. Cabin alerts flashed one after another. "Prepare for 2200 meters." "Prepare for 500 meters." As they drew closer to the ground, the air inside the cabin seemed to grow colder. Takeoff and landing were known as the 'five minutes of death,' and everyone held their breath, hands clenched tightly, awaiting their fate. "Cabin crew in position!" Bian Ji declared with authority, "Demonstrate the brace position!" Outside the Chengdu Shuangliu Airport tarmac, fire…- 135.4 K • Completed
Zhou Junzhuo parked his car and walked toward them with an imposing aura. The four boys couldn't help but straighten their posture and respectfully greeted him, "Teacher." Zhou Junzhuo acknowledged them with a nod, then turned to Guan Lan, "I knew you'd be here." He raised an eyebrow, "Getting bold, huh? Not answering my calls?" His tone carried the air of a scorned lover catching their partner in the act, making the kids hold their breath. Guan Lan pretended to check his phone, "Ah, when…- 76.9 K • Completed
On Friday morning, during the reading class, Li Tang was distracted, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of his English notebook. Two days had passed, and Jiang Lou seemed to have forgotten about it, not returning it yet. It wasn't that the notebook was particularly precious—it was just the beginning of the semester, after all, and he'd only written one page. His handwriting wasn't neat either, hardly something he could show off. If he hadn't been caught off guard while sneaking a peek and panicked,…- 197.1 K • Completed
