Lian Ai pulled out the long hair tucked under his robes and was just about to leave when Bu Nian called out to him. “Things might get unstable soon. Stay put in Zhongzhou and don’t go wandering off.” After a pause, he added, “And stop making me angry all the time.” Lian Ai smiled faintly and leaned in to kiss his cheek. “Got it.” Bai Shu sat with his legs apart on a pile of firewood, idly chatting with Banxia. When he looked up, he caught sight of Lian Ai coming out of Bu Nian’s…- 157.9 K • Completed
Everyone was enjoying themselves when the private room door suddenly burst open with a loud bang. The atmosphere froze at once as all heads turned toward the entrance. “It’s bad! A fight broke out!” Yusaku Toshie from the Ushijima-gumi rushed in with a panicked look. Ji Fu stubbed out his cigarette and tilted his chin at his subordinate. “What happened? Speak clearly.” The subordinate gave a concise report. He and another member, Odagiri, had gone to the restroom. On the way, they…- 147.2 K • Completed
- Bu Nian’s body had fully recovered from the poison, and he returned to court to resume his duties. During Gan Yan’s regency, the young emperor was barely allowed to speak, and it became commonplace for memorials to bypass the throne entirely. However, Prime Minister Lu hoped the emperor would begin to take part in court discussions and learn to express his own views. On this day, the court was in heated debate over the matter of wiping out the remnants of the rebel faction. When Bu Nian had been…

- Wen Shang was on leave recently, and since he had nothing else going on, he spent nearly every day keeping Mu Yuan company. He took him out to eat, watch movies, and shop. Every expense was fully covered by him. Mu Yuan was not the kind to be polite. Since Wen Shang was happy to pay, he didn’t even bother checking price tags. If he liked something, he took it without hesitation and spent with complete peace of mind. "A new laptop? Damn, that’s high-end." He Dongying glanced at the freshly unboxed…

This place hadn’t seen such a grand banquet in a long time. It was packed with big names, all the city’s elites showing up in full force. The last time something like this happened was two years ago. But that night ended badly, with two bosses getting stabbed, one of them even ending up in a coma. Since then, they had not held any more events like this. When Xu Wanhe got the invitation, he was a little reluctant. God knows how many people would be craning their necks waiting to watch him…- 71.4 K • Completed
- It had been nearly half a year since Lian Ai last returned to Zhongzhou. The moment he stepped into the Helian estate, Lady Helian summoned him over and scolded him at length, saying he only cared about playing around and how he could possibly stay away from home for so long. “It’s my fault. I’ve made mother worry,” Lian Ai said, looking at Lady Helian’s ever-gentle face. The past few months suddenly felt like a fleeting dream. Lady Helian gently stroked his cheek. “You look thinner than…

- Early the next morning, Mu Yuan and Wen Shang drove back to the old house in Nathan. Just as Bai Wei had instructed, Mu Yuan searched the bedroom that used to belong to Mu Huafeng and found a specific tile in the center beneath the bed. He crouched down and tapped the tile lightly with the back of his hand. It sounded hollow. Mu Yuan pulled out a steel ruler he had brought ahead of time, slipped it into the gap, and slowly pried the tile up. Underneath it was a sealed document pouch. Mu Yuan took it…

- Lately, Xu Wanhe had been staying at Yang Moshou’s place. It was not really by choice. It was just that Yang Moshou refused to move into his apartment. According to Yang Moshou, the lease still had six months left, the rent was non-refundable, and he was too lazy to sublet it. Since he had already paid, it would be a waste not to stay. The most important thing was that after living here for over two years, he had everything timed perfectly. He knew exactly how long it took to get from home to…

- Zuo Lingyu woke from a heavy sleep and stepped out of the shabby earthen hut. He saw Senior Brother Feng Zhang sitting by the fire with the other disciples of the Zuo clan. He walked over and softly called out, “Senior Brother.” He was no longer the proud young master of the Zuo family in fine robes and high spirits. His once-fair face was now worn and haggard, and the brightness in his eyes had faded into dullness. Feng Zhang glanced at him when he saw him awake, then looked away. He shifted…

- Bu Nian sat in the center of the main hall. Though his eyes were covered, the deep furrow between his brows was still visible. He had already sent people out to search for Lian Ai, but it was too soon for any news to come back. A young maid noticed that the tea beside him had gone cold and stepped forward to replace it. She had only taken a few steps when Bu Nian’s face turned sharply in her direction. The pressure he exuded was so heavy and cold that it made her freeze. “G-General… This…
