Chapter 22: Doomed At dawn, the air was chill and the garden hushed. Under the morning light, Fang Minsheng and Fang Jingyu made their way to the ancestral shrine. Though the Fang family ancestral hall was usually cleaned by shrine workers and didn’t require much of their attention, the Langgan Guard had appointed Fang Minsheng as one of the custodians in charge, instructing him to frequently check on the site lest any ignorant servants dry grain or nap before the shrine and tarnish its…- 450.2 K • Completed
- Chapter 21 – Emperor Bai's Orphan Rain poured through the night, the heavens dark as ink. At the Langgan Guard’s residence, a lone lamp flickered in and out of view in the darkness. Two figures sat close together on a blood-red rosewood bed in the main hall. Langgan Guard stood like a tower of iron, with sword-like brows and deep-black eyes, his presence sharp and imposing. The other man’s face was furrowed like dried bark, thin as a skin-and-bone horse—this was the Mohe Guard, known by all…

After teaching him to read and write, he’d move on to instructing him in channeling qi through the body, how to run, how to hold a sword. Fang Jingyu was sharp and hardworking, and within a short…

- Chapter 18: A Hollow Dream Deepens Sorrow Ten years ago, at the Fang estate. On this day, the gardens were bustling with guests, and the air was thick with festivity. The magnolias had just bloomed, their petals snow-white tinged with blush, their fragrance sweet and pervasive. Servants in blue livery bustled back and forth like flowing water, and the courtyards echoed with cheerful voices. But just beyond a single wall, in a quiet courtyard with its sliding panels tightly shut, a frail young boy…

- Chapter 17: A Dying Flame The morning sun rose high, its light spilling into the house. Qin Jiao rubbed her eyes as she woke, only to find the bedding beside her sunken in—Chu Kuang was already gone. Startled, she instantly became alert. But when she looked to the bed, she was left speechless. There, Fang Jingyu and Chu Kuang were sprawled across it, both drooling in their sleep, entangled in each other. One had wrapped the iron chain around the other; the other had an arm clamped around his…

Muheon gave a small laugh at Hakyung’s cheeky words and placed the smaller man onto his stomach. In the blink of an eye, Hakyung had climbed on top of the boss and gave a satisfied wiggle of his shoulders. “You just stay still for now, okay, boss?” “Okay.” Muheon calmly responded and laced his fingers behind his head. His relaxed posture made it clear he truly didn’t intend to do anything. Hakyung, momentarily captivated by the boss’s flexed triceps and chest muscles as he shifted,…- 210.6 K • Completed
Chapter 5 – Returning to the Palace to Give Thanks, Fighting with the Dog Emperor But Wen Jue’s reputation as a fox spirit wasn’t for nothing—he quickly steadied his heart, the corners of his lips gently lifting. “Doing something you love with someone you love—even pain becomes joy.” Jiang Chuang couldn’t speak as poetically as him. He simply held him tighter and whispered by his ear, “I promise you, from now on, there will be no pain in this—only pleasure.” Wen Jue gave the…- 166.6 K • Completed
16. He might die. Back then, Xiao Qing was twelve years old. When he sought out the Demonic Sect, to the Sect Leader, he was like a toddler just learning to walk standing in front of an adult.
