Misunderstanding   Pei Yanci hadn’t rested all night, and had just been suspended for nearly an hour. His spirit was somewhat dispirited, his eyes drooping wearily at the corners.

The Lost Painting  “Brother Pei, why do you say such things?” Yue Ting had just begun to admire this person, but now frowned at his seemingly detached indifference, irritably stroking the small goatee on his chin. “You have talents for engaging with the world, so you should take it upon yourself to benefit all living beings.

Steward Zhao   The relationship between sovereign and subject has always been delicate.   Being capable and competent, able to handle everything the master desires without needing explicit instructions—this is understanding the sacred heart.   Recognizing talent early, knowing and accompanying each other, loyally protecting with unwavering devotion, and when the master rises to prominence, rising alongside them—this is having the wisdom to recognize…

Seductive Words    After Hu Shang left, Pei Yanci said to Song Qi’an at the door, “It’s settled, you can rest assured.”   “That’s for the best.” Song Qi’an was in low spirits, already exhausted by the events of recent days.   “Would you like a drink?” he asked, clearly in good spirits. “Winter is suitable for hot wine. Early spring is damp and…

Sending Someone Away    A brand new Persian carpet had been laid over the stone path that extended from the mansion gate to the main hall’s front courtyard.
