The sky gradually darkened, and a crescent moon rose above the treetops. Tonight's moon was different from usual, its color a dark red, its halo hazy, as if obscured by frosted glass, giving off an eerie vibe in the silence. Under the faint red moonlight, the village in the countryside appeared unusually quiet. Most households had already closed their doors, and only a few still had lights on. However, these scattered lights didn't seem to bring any warmth; instead, they added to the strange silence. A…- 380.6 K • Completed
Outside the Maogong Hall, the cabinet scholars and high ministers waited in silence, queuing up for their audience with the emperor. Inside the hall, Xie Yi was speaking to Grand Secretary Ouyang Shen, "My decision is final, Master, there's no need for further discussion.

Chapter 45 – Together Across Rivers and Seas On the tower, banners flapped in the wind. Soldiers in heavy armor stood shoulder to shoulder, halberds and crossbows in hand, surrounding a large honeysuckle-patterned canopy. Beneath the canopy, the Mohe Guard and Yu Ji Guard flanked both sides, clad in padded silk armor of dark jade purple and fragrant leaf red. Between them sat Emperor Changyi—his hair white as frost, robed in a round-collared imperial dragon gown. Though he had reached the…- 450.2 K • Completed
It snowed lightly that Friday. The first snowfall of the winter arrived silently in the middle of the night. Due to the effects of pregnancy hormones, Wen Zhongyi had become increasingly drowsy.

Still, I didn’t worry too much. Just like before the regression, all I had to do was go through a distant, indifferent marriage with Baek Mugyeong and eventually get divorced. Letting out a long breath helped clear my head a little. What mattered right now wasn’t Baek Mugyeong, but crafting the perfect plan for divorce. I rubbed my face with both hands, then lay down on the bed. Step by step, I went over what I needed to do. First, I needed money. Marriage would partially solve…- 281.3 K • Completed
“Was there traffic on the way?” “No, it was fine. It’s a weekday afternoon.” “That’s good. Judging by your face, you’ve been doing well.” “It’s all thanks to you, Master.” “Ha! Don’t flatter me. I’ve done nothing to deserve that.” Kwak Jiheon chuckled gruffly and put away the Go board. His gaze, which had been watching Dojin’s expression, slid over to Jiho like a shadow. Jiho shrank back and immediately ducked behind Dojin. Seeing the shy reaction, Jiheon…- 289.6 K • Completed
Bu Nian’s body stiffened. His fingers loosened slightly. He stared hard at Lian Ai, then suddenly flicked his sleeve and stood up. Lian Ai finally managed to breathe. He dropped forward against the bed, coughing and gasping for air. When he looked up again, Bu Nian stood fully dressed at the bedside, gazing down at him with a dark expression. "How did you know." Seeing his face now, Lian Ai was completely certain. He gave a bitter smile. "The mark on my neck isn't a birthmark. When I…- 157.9 K • Completed
- Merlin stood dressed in his black priest’s robe, framed by the passionate sunlight streaming in from the window overlooking the Caribbean Sea. When Mo Zimu pushed open the door, Merlin turned to look at him. His slight, delicate smile carried a hint of shyness and timidity, but his eyes were so remarkably clear that it was hard for anyone to disappoint him once he began speaking. Mo Zimu sat across from him. "Seven, are you doing okay?" "I’m fine," Mo Zimu replied flatly. Merlin shifted…

The Mediterranean Sea was no longer as tranquil as it usually was. Across the vast, boundless blue sea, two magnificent three-masted galleys, each armed with twenty-four cannons, sailed side by side, cutting through the waves.
