Chapter 14 - In Excellent Health Shen Hechuan had used protection last night—he was at least that responsible. However, he hadn’t had a recent physical checkup. The company scheduled annual check-ups, but that wasn’t until next month. Shen Hechuan knew his body well. He didn’t smoke, didn’t drink excessively, and didn’t have any bad habits. His physical condition was excellent. Even after being active all night yesterday, he wasn’t tired at all. Still, Qiao Le’s concern was…- 182.5 K • Completed
Selena’s words made Yudit turn around. The pillar had collapsed along with the door, blocking the only exit. Several people near the exit had been struck by the falling debris and were groaning on the ground. No one had died instantly, but some were writhing in pain, creating a hellish scene. The sight made not only Selena and Yudit freeze momentarily but even Khalid. “The terrace, let’s go to the terrace!” Yudit recalled the terrace where he had been speaking with Khalid. However, the…- 396.9 K • Completed
- Breakfast was noodles—simple, with at most a spoonful of chili sauce. Qin Yan ate without lifting his head, his expression unchanged, unaware of the taste. Zhou Shurong sat beside him, his hips not touching the chair—oh, he was floating. “No vegetables, no egg, not even a handful of scallions. What happened to your usual rituals?” Qin Yan didn’t respond, continuing to eat, spooning up noodles bite by bite. Once finished, he wiped his mouth, drank the soup, and carried the bowl toward the…

13. The Missing Left Protector It all began with Su Wusi. As the Vermilion Bird Hall Master, Su Wusi often had to travel between intelligence points to check on the situation. Naturally, she would always go in disguise—sometimes as a hunched old woman, sometimes as a plump middle-aged man, and sometimes as a foreign child. All these years, nothing had ever gone wrong. But this time, after she entered the city dressed as a singer buying rouge, she vanished without a trace. The intelligence…- 80.2 K • Completed
Just as we were about to start walking (well, Banwes was, not me), before he could even take a single step, Paronai—the one at the head of the group and its leader—spoke up. “But, you know… one of us has been missing for a while now.” It was the sort of topic everyone knew about but deliberately avoided. Penzey let out a dry laugh and rolled his eyes. He even took a couple of steps back in advance. Only Paronai, not understanding the situation, looked confused. “Be careful,” Yurichen…- 183.7 K • Completed
Chapter 5– Fragrance Curtains Stirring in the Wind With the arrival of Lord Yu Ji of the Xian Mountain Guards imminent, Zui Chun Garden bustled like the height of the New Year. Silken lanterns were hung from the corridors, flooding the garden with light as bright as day. Courtesans donned flowing robes with wide sleeves, singing and dancing with grace, like fluttering butterflies. Zui Chun Garden was a crown jewel among all the pleasure quarters, its pavilions situated in the heart of the…- 450.2 K • Completed
“Do this one too.” “Wow, you’re seriously fast! Then this one too!” Like sharks circling their prey, the staff swarmed around Hakyung, each clutching a document to their chest. Every single form they handed over bore clear traces of being filled out by hand. There seemed to be more than ten employees here, yet apparently none of them could use the program… The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed. But Hakyung was already used to solving problems for the elderly back in his…- 210.6 K • Completed
- Jiho’s eyes grew wide as he looked at the tray on the table. Two mugs were expected, but five plates of cake? That he hadn’t seen coming. When Jiho couldn’t tear his eyes away from the cakes, Dojin spoke. “You didn’t eat much for breakfast either.” Not much? Me? Jiho tilted his head, thinking back to what he’d had that morning— Half a bowl of Chinese-style fried rice, two bites of black bean noodles, five pieces of sweet and sour pork, and three chili shrimp. Compared…

- “I’m sorry. I didn’t know my lover would be so naive.” “Am I still your lover, Your Grace?” “I never said I wanted to break up.” So, we must still be lovers, Khalid seemed to imply. Yudit recalled the Omegas who had been glaring at him earlier, as if they were about to kill him. He already felt the exhaustion creeping in. “What are you thinking?” Khalid asked, locking eyes with Yudit. Just as Yudit was about to answer, he suddenly felt his breath tighten. A powerful aura…

- “Yes, that’s right.” “I was so hungry, but I feel better now that the food is outside.” “I’m sorry. When this house was built, bustles were not in fashion.” Certainly! Here’s a rephrased version of the paragraph: The conversation, which could have been seen as inappropriate in the context of noble discussions, was simply two people being honest with each other. Yudit appreciated the authenticity of their relationship. Sonia, having finished her champagne in one go, took the…
