Clack, clack— The only sound echoing through the vast space was the heavy, measured clatter of the training instructor's boots. The shoulders of the new guards were all stiff as boards. Palet, now 25, had applied for the notoriously demanding prison guard position with the single-minded goal of securing stable retirement funds.

“You must take after your mother,” Yudit remarked. “We don’t look alike at all. I was adopted when I was young,” she replied. “Ah… I apologize,” Yudit said, realizing his mistake. “It’s fine,” the woman shook her head nonchalantly. “Let me formally introduce myself. I’m Selena Craven.” “Nice to meet you. I’m Yudit Friedrich Adenauer.” “It’s a bit difficult right now since the guests are using it, but once things calm down a bit, I can bring the machine…- 396.9 K • Completed
- Today, Yudit hid in the building across, but instead of peeking through the curtains, he made a hole in them. The people on Herut’s side also spotted him. Not long after the banquet began, the windows and curtains of the banquet hall opened. It seemed as if they knew someone was on this side, as they looked over directly.

“Who?” “Curious? You must be dying to know, since you’re so damn obsessed with me.” “Yeah, so go ahead. Who did you run away for? Risking the possibility of losing your heirship if you didn’t come back?” “Aww, honey, are you worried about me?” “It’s not worry. It’s called curiosity. Who are you looking for?” Lestel’s green eyes narrowed as he suddenly leaned in close. Sharhan nearly flinched hard enough for his heart to leap out of his chest, almost punching…- 264.3 K • Completed
But once he reread the words, Seolyeong realized they might remind the reader of Murong Jeongui, and in haste, he crumpled the page. Even when he picked up the brush again, no suitable phrases came to mind. In the end, he never finished the letter, even as scrapped drafts piled beneath the desk and rolled around the floor. He found it absurd, was his writing truly this poor? He’d never had a gift for music, sure, but at least he used to be competent enough with words to avoid embarrassment. “Why…- 253.5 K • Completed

"Wolf…?" Red Eagle flinched. Silver, who had been yawning, frowned. "Is that intuition? Or do you have some basis for it?" "The latter. I'll explain the details to you later." Silver fell silent. Alice Blue eyes stared at Wolf. Suddenly, the surroundings felt like they’d transformed into a winter sea. After a moment, Silver whispered. “If your conclusion is wrong, she dies. Can you handle that?” Wolf hadn’t considered that. Silver swept his hair back with one hand and…- 127.9 K • Ongoing
Passing the hall where the dragon statue stood and entering further, they came upon a sizable pavilion. As they stepped into its courtyard, a priest dressed in pristine white robes approached and greeted them courteously. “What brings you here?” Though he appeared nonchalant, Yoonso sensed the priest observing Hwi. Hwi casually surveyed the surroundings before speaking. “I’m considering making a donation.” “Oh! Is that so?” At the mention of a donation, the priest’s face…- 173.1 K • Ongoing
- Over the weekend, Pei Siyin spent his days either putting on a skirt or taking it off. By the end of it, he was so drained he collapsed on the bed and slept straight through until Monday afternoon.

If it were any of Xu Wanhe’s past bed partners, they would’ve quickly smoothed things over. At the very least, they would’ve tried to ease the awkwardness for him. But Yang Moshou stood right in front of him, let out two cheeky laughs, and said, “Doggy-ge.” Fire shot straight up Xu Wanhe’s spine. He reached out to grab him, but Yang Moshou had already anticipated it and bolted. His bangs flew up, exposing a big chunk of his forehead, pale and smooth like tofu, looking stupidly…- 71.4 K • Completed
