Epilogue The April sunlight was just right. As soon as he stepped into the café, he spotted Liang Xuan sitting in the corner. He was dressed head to toe in black. Black shirt, black jeans, black boots, with a pair of sunglasses on his face. Bathed in golden sunlight, he gave off a distinct sense of detachment, like the character he played in his new film The Attic. The Attic was a classic action blockbuster. Liang Xuan played a single father living with his daughter in a quiet suburban neighborhood.…- 79.3 K • Completed
The meeting place was a star-rated hotel. Xu Wanhe purposely arrived a little late. When he got there, all he saw was Fei Qi. Tang Ziyan was nowhere in sight. Fei Qi stepped forward respectfully as soon as he saw him. “Xu-ge… I’m sorry… Tang-ge had something urgent come up and just stepped out. He told me to wait here and let you know he’ll be back in five minutes.” Xu Wanhe didn’t even glance at him and walked straight into the private room. He didn’t look angry. Fei Qi felt…- 71.4 K • Completed
After coming back from Nathan Road, Mu Yuan filled He Dongying in on the situation. There wasn’t much progress. He only brought back some basic books his father had read, along with a single photograph. When Mu Yuan mentioned his third uncle, He Dongying grew curious.“So, what does your third uncle actually look like?” “Hang on, I’ll show you the photo.” Mu Yuan reached into his coat pocket and fumbled around for a while but couldn’t find it. Then he rummaged through his shoulder…- 147.2 K • Completed
Norton lost interest in the unfinished list, no longer feeling any urgency to complete it. He seemed to care only about the fact that Mo Zimu had signed the prison transfer application. Leaning back, he frowned and told Berrick to bring Mo Zimu over. When Mo Zimu stepped inside, Norton fixed his gaze on him and said, "Seven, I thought we had an understanding." "This doesn’t change anything between us, boss," Mo Zimu said with a smile. "Aren't we getting closer to freedom?" Norton furrowed his…- 117.3 K • Completed
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
- 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…

- Xu Wanhe shot up from the chair like he had been electrocuted. “Fuck your mother! What the hell did you get on my pants?” He grabbed Yang Moshou by the collar. “Do you even know how much these pants cost? I just bought them yesterday!” Yang Moshou instinctively tried to pry his hand off. “It was just a popsicle, can’t you tell?” The others barely reacted. They stayed seated, chatting among themselves like nothing happened. Everyone was used to Xu Wanhe’s bad temper. He exploded…

- Mu Yuan looked at his stance and was a bit confused. "What’s with you now? Move aside, don’t block the way." Wen Shang walked straight up to him, grabbed his arm, and yanked him back toward the bed. "Take off your shoes, change your clothes, and get your ass back in bed to rest." "What the hell is wrong with you? You trying to babysit me or something?" "Yeah, I am." Wen Shang was clearly pissed. "You’ve always done whatever the hell you want because no one’s there to keep you in check. You…

- Because of his injury, Lian Ai had been stuck in the inn for several days without going anywhere. He was getting restless, and so was Zuo Lingyu, who came to see him on the third day. As soon as he stepped inside, he grumbled, “Why didn’t you come visit me? I’ve been stuck in the prince’s estate so long I’m about to grow mold. I finally managed to sneak out today. If they catch me and drag me back again, who knows how long they’ll lock me up.” Lian Ai was a little envious of him. Even…

- In July, Xu Fei joined the crew for filming. The first scene was a group shot. Liang Xuan stood at the front giving a speech, while the others were scattered around the corners of the room, sitting sparsely. Xu Fei sat close to Yu Yukuan, looking up at Liang Xuan. He was wearing a loose jacket, a pistol holstered at his waist, and a dagger strapped to his high boots. His waist and back were slightly hunched, like a panther in the jungle. The last time Xu Fei saw him with this kind of look was during…
