Lee Jae-an loaded the trunk and shut it. Even after climbing into the car, he didn’t start the engine, staring instead at the school building for a long while. His gaze drifted past the layered red bricks and the cherry blossoms blooming under the clear spring sunlight, settling on the petals scattered on the ground. Filthy petals, stained with dirt, trampled over and over until they’d lost their original hue. No one would believe they’d once sprouted from the same buds up above, so wretched was…- 110.9 K • Ongoing
- Jae-an’s tightly shut eyes trembled faintly. His pupils, unable to focus, drifted dizzily, failing to register the unfamiliar space filling his vision. They were vacant, hollow. “Hey, he’s awake.” “What? Didn’t you dose him right?” His senses were dulled as if submerged in water, yet he could distinctly feel the presence of several people surrounding him. He was already stripped down to nothing, even his underwear gone. Slowly, he realized he couldn’t breathe properly because that…

Publicly, Kim Soohee’s cause of death was reported not as suicide, but as an unfortunate accident, falling down the stairs. Her parents were outraged, but for the sake of their daughter’s honor, they accepted it as an accidental death. However, not only were there rumors among the people, even to themselves, it didn’t seem like just a simple accident. It was disappointing that nothing turned up even after digging through the police records. Jake continued his explanation. “We only skimmed…- 281.3 K • Completed
- Si Shaorong had assumed that Jiang Yibai’s place would also carry that heavily dated vibe. Maybe there would be a green refrigerator from the last century, a cracked and worn leather sofa, the walls painted in the once-trendy white-on-top, green-on-bottom scheme, one of those identical orange desk lamps every household used to have, and the ubiquitous Double Happiness bedding set. But once Jiang Yibai stepped in and flicked on the light switch, Si Shaorong’s eyes lit up. The apartment had clearly…

- Jiang Yibai was burning with impatience, wishing he could somersault ten thousand li on the spot and appear right in front of Si Shaorong. Watching him fidget nonstop and glance at the time again and again, Chen Yi couldn’t help getting curious. “Who are you going to pick up? Your girlfriend?” Jiang Yibai let out a proud little hum, but he didn’t bother explaining anything to a kid. His entire expression was glowing with happiness, so much so that it made your teeth ache just looking at…

- Guanlan was a restaurant that had opened in the past couple of years. The prices were steep, the ingredients were fresh, and the service was attentive in a butler-like way. It did not aim to be friendly or accessible, but it certainly had style. When it was approved for construction, it had been placed in a newly built commercial district along the Fourth Ring. Now, with the time not yet at ten thirty, the area was already lit up and buzzing with life. Some shopping malls had closed for the night, but…

- Si Shaorong returned to the place he was currently renting. The man he lived with hadn’t come back yet. The kitchen was filled with the scent of freshly cooked food. He paused at the entryway, frowning as he changed his shoes, then walked straight into his room. Not long after, someone knocked on the door. "Rong-ge? You’re back?" It was a pleasant female voice. Si Shaorong responded with a quiet "Mm." He turned on his computer and picked up his headphones. "I’m busy. Don’t knock on my door…

- Si Shaorong paused for a moment and looked up at Jiang Yibai, who stood in front of him. They were about the same height, and Jiang Yibai was standing quite close. Under the warm hallway lighting, he didn’t look the least bit awkward. In fact, he was smiling gently as he looked at him. Si Shaorong didn’t reply. He put his phone away and fell silent, unsure what to say in that moment. He really wasn’t someone who was good at socializing. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed an assistant to…

- The current head of the Shao family was the old master himself. He was swift in action and ruthless in execution. The family owed most of its current standing to his efforts. He had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son's mother came from a poor background and had died early. The other son and daughter were born to his legitimate wife. Although she did not care for the eldest son, she had a decent nature and did not make things difficult for him, at least not in the beginning. It was only after noticing…

- It was deep into the night by the time Song Feng and his team arrived in the United States. “Two fifty-two in the morning,” Song Feng said, hands in his pockets, eyes on the time display above the airport entrance. “The base has long shut down. If we go back now, we’ll have to climb a wall that’s several meters high and fight off a pack of mangy dogs.” The other three didn’t say a word. They waited for him to decide. Song Feng grinned. “Waking someone from a sweet dream would be…
