Jiang Yibai had no idea what he had said wrong. Si Shaorong was a serious person, at least compared to most people his age. After being single for so many years, his experience with relationships was close to none. He had spent a long time buried in his writing, always avoiding social events and gatherings. That habit had made him especially sensitive to what others said, often without realizing it himself. And when the person speaking happened to be Jiang Yibai, that sensitivity only became stronger.

Chapter 55: A Buried Name, Bones Laid to Rest My brother is dead? For a moment, it was as if thunder struck under a clear sky. Fang Jingyu stood frozen in silence, then hurriedly protested, “But… but…” Ruyi Guard’s eyes were kind, her smile like a spring breeze. “Your Highness, did you not personally see Fang Minsheng’s corpse eight years ago?” Fang Jingyu’s soul seemed to slip from his body. His brother was dead—he was merely chasing ghosts. Eight years ago, at the Fang…- 450.2 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

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…

Wang Yiqi didn’t bother hiding his displeasure when he saw Shi Yi. He just frowned. “What are you doing here?” Shi Yi thought the question was ridiculous. He bit down on his cigarette, the corner of his mouth lifted, but there wasn’t much of a smile. His expression only softened when he turned to Ying Ming. “How are you? They didn’t give you a hard time, did they?” “I’m fine.” Ying Ming raised an eyebrow. “Was it you who settled things with Zhao Zicong?” But Shi Yi didn’t…- 283.2 K • Completed
- The room felt thick and suffocating, the air compressed into a corner by the small door. Zhou Jun’s swallowing sound echoed softly. In his intense fear, his cheeks turned as pale as steamed dough, slick with beads of sweat trickling down, one by one. The gun, cold as steel, pressed against his warm skin, the chilling contrast heightening his unease. His heart pounded wildly, feeling as though it might dissolve under the pressure. His breath came in shallow gasps, and with a parched throat, he…

In the past few days, the written portion of the military examination had been conducted under the supervision of the Ministry of War. And in the capital, a shocking event stirred everyone’s attention.

This male bedslave wasn’t just good-looking. He was intelligent. His essay earned applause from the examiners,…- 157.9 K • Completed
- 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…
