CHAPTERS
The military examination was divided into two parts. The first was the written exam, which tested strategic proposals and required candidates to transcribe a selected passage from the Seven Military Classics. The second was the martial trials, which assessed riding, archery, and combat skills. The written questions were drafted jointly by the Minister of War and two deputies, then sealed in a bamboo tube with wax. They were only to be opened in public by the exam supervisor on the day of the test. Which…- 157.9 K • Completed
Big Dog tends to avert his gaze when he lacks confidence, sometimes even pretending to scoff with a disdainful hum. For example, every morning when Miguel greets him cheerfully from across the ship, saying, "Good morning, Captain." Or like just now, when he shifted the blame for giving the first mate a hard time onto the communicator. And again, like when he claimed he came to Cagliari just to witness the target cargo being loaded onto the ship. When Miguel saw that ninety-degree zigzag "Z"…- 221.3 K • Completed
Once the study door closed, no more sound could be heard. I quickly made my way to my room on the second floor. As a habit, I locked the door and then sat on the edge of the bed. Could it be that the wedding might fall through? Since Baek Mugyeong, the groom-to-be, had said he didn’t want it, there was a chance we might not be able to get married. I couldn’t afford to just marvel at the butterfly effect that began with our first meeting in the bathroom. All the plans I’d made yesterday and…- 281.3 K • Completed
- Yin Yan dreamed of that dimly lit room and the locked door again. The electric light never seemed to turn on, leaving only the faint glow of a candle. That little flame wasn’t enough to illuminate even the tabletop, yet in the darkness, it was his only comfort. He stared at the tiny flicker, and as time passed, drowsiness crept up his eyelids, but he didn’t dare to sleep. More unbearable than exhaustion was waking up to find the candle burned out, reduced to a puddle of cold, hardened wax. Then, he…

At four-thirty in the morning, the sky was tinged with a warm white hue. Lying on his side facing inward, Jiang Ruo rubbed at his eyes with the pads of his fingers, trying to conceal certain traces. Despite his dazed state, his ears were alert, listening to Xi Yufeng's movements around the house and the sound of water from the bathroom. A while later, footsteps approached again. Jiang Ruo quickly shut his eyes tight, feeling a hand reach out to his forehead, pausing for two seconds before moving…- 178.8 K • Completed
It seemed they still couldn’t truly stay “peaceful and cordial.” Xu Fei stayed with the crew for over a month more. He paid attention a few times and actually did hear some gossip going around. But he didn’t care, and neither did Yu Yukuan. The two of them carried themselves openly and honestly. Eventually, there was nothing left for others to talk about, and the rumors slowly disappeared. On the morning of the last day, Xu Fei went out for a run alone. He didn’t wear his earphones, and all…- 79.3 K • Completed
- His fingers throbbed with a sharp, piercing pain. Shen Mo couldn’t endure it. The pain dragged him out of unconsciousness. He opened his eyes in a daze and was greeted by a world of stark whiteness. White walls, white sheets, white bandages. He stared blankly for a while before realizing he was in a hospital. The memories from before he lost consciousness came rushing back, and his body instinctively curled into itself. He had been kidnapped on his way home. The abandoned warehouse had reeked of…

Chapter 16: Pouring His Heart Out, But the Little Husband Doesn’t Believe Him! “Whether it’s the Sixth Prince or Prince Yi, what’s the difference?” Jiang Chuang asked. Wen Jue was briefly stunned. He hadn’t expected a counter-question. What’s the difference? To Wen Jue, there was no difference. But for Jiang Chuang, wasn’t the difference huge? The Third Prince was his close confidant. They’d once drunk till dawn together, talking about the world’s hardships and their grand…- 166.6 K • Completed
- Chapter 15: Husband, You Kiss So Hard! The scholar swayed his head dramatically, remaining silent on purpose. Once he had stirred everyone’s curiosity enough, he finally spoke slowly: “Back then, when His Majesty went to offer prayers, he happened upon Consort Chen and was astonished, so much so that he immediately promoted her above rank. She was granted entry to the palace, and within three months, she was conferred the title of Consort Chen. The character ‘Chen’宸 (chen) originally refers…

- Chapter 14: Can You Stop Being Mad at Me, Husband? Jiang Chuang took the veiled hood Changning handed over and gently placed it on Wen Jue’s head. Without it, his stunning appearance would already draw attention, let alone those sightless eyes that always invited judgment. Whether from curiosity or sympathetic pity, it was all the same to Wen Jue, an invisible thorn. Out in public, it was better to wear the hood. Jiang Chuang moved with care, smoothing down Wen Jue’s hanging hair before…
