Sui Kingdom, Liuying City. Deep in the night, the quiet was broken only by the watchman's hollow clacking of his bamboo clapper, sounding at measured intervals through the streets and alleys. Liuying City was not a large city, but it had a very long history. Legend had it that before the city was built, this place was merely a small village. In that village lived a family of six siblings, and the youngest sister had a head of jet-black, lustrous long hair — as strong and supple as a stream, as smooth…-

When the Rooster Crows (5) And so, Ah Ku's wooden house — which never took in outsiders — was, for the very first time, decided by its owner to house Ye Ru for a few days. And Yun Changliu discovered that what Ah Ku had said — "disliking him and being willing to save him are two different things" — was entirely true. Although Ah Ku was indeed wholeheartedly tending to Ye Ru's illness, and not merely treating the fever he had caught from the cold, but also taking care to nurse his body back…-

Counter-Game? "Nothing good ever comes from anything associated with the word 'influencer'!" "If you want to go to an amusement park, isn't Haishi's Disney good enough? Why go to some obscure little park nobody's heard of? And if that's not an option, the big park in Jingdu has a 4D experience hall and cinema too — this kind of small park that suddenly blows up overnight is obviously sketchy." "It really did blow up out of nowhere. I'd never heard the name before, and then starting this morning,…-

This Person Was Doing It on Purpose Qiu Rui drifted out slowly, his pretty face restored to the same unruffled calm as when they first met, but Jiang Yi still noticed the discomfort between his brows. Jiang Yi knew that his sudden confession of love had put Qiu Rui in a difficult position. He sighed and said earnestly, "Rui'er, last night was my fault. I shouldn't have said such nonsense. Treat what I said as thin air — please don't take it to heart. I know that someone with your qualities, even…-

The Art of Persistent Pursuit Jiang Yi felt a little uneasy. He had wanted to ask this question for a long time — if Qiu Rui truly already had a lover, as Jiang Mingxuan had said, what should he do? Stop at nothing to break them apart, or gracefully step back and wish them well? Though he had spoken with conviction, Jiang Yi couldn't bring himself to forcibly separate them. But letting go gracefully — he wasn't willing to do that either. The angel and the devil in his heart were still…

State Affairs Pei Yanci had originally earned the admiration of the entire court by suppressing the rebellion of the vassal princes. Even after the change of dynasty and the succession of the throne, he had not made things difficult for the surviving members of the Gu family. Combined with the puppet shows periodically staged at the theaters for publicity, these measures had won him a fine reputation. However, there were always old ministers who presumed on their seniority, always former Gu family…-

Marquis Wu shook his jug — there was no more wine. His gaze fell on an empty spot; he seemed to be speaking to Chi Zhenzi, and yet seemed to be murmuring to himself. "The karmic threads are already in chaos. What meaning remains in doing good and holding to one's precepts?" When doing good became an invitation to be bullied, when doing evil could instead seize advantage — with living beings guided by such incentives, what would the world become? Before the Marquis Wu's Temple, worshippers came…

Where are the immortals? When mortals face hardship, they bow and pray to the immortals. But when immortals face hardship, to whom should they pray? At Marquis Wu's Temple, the massive bronze incense burner before the gate stood tall and solid, cast with rough patterns, its fires burning vigorously within, releasing wisps of pale blue smoke heavy with the scent of sandalwood that drifted all the way up to the heavens. Inside the temple, wooden racks had been added to the left and right, holding many…

"I can bring them in if you wish." Lea, lost in thought inside the carriage heading toward the ducal estate, turned her head at Ian's voice and looked at him. Then she shook her head. "It's alright, Ian." She knew who Ian was offering to bring in. And she knew he could do it without being detected by them. But without knowing Berchel's situation, she couldn't afford to make any hasty moves. Last time too, there were shadows following him... Berchel had said they were people assigned by the…-

"What message were you told to deliver?" "A loyal retainer of Count Roman's house, guide him to me." Ian recited the words MacLean had told him without missing a single syllable. At that, a strange smile flickered at the corners of the woman's lips before disappearing. "Hmm~ So you've come looking for a man named Kassen?" The woman called Lu, as if she had never been acting coquettish at all, calmly folded the banknote and tucked it deep into her cleavage. Then, as she moved to straighten her…
