When Gu Jingyuan awoke again, it was still dark outside. Inside the inner chamber of the bedchamber, only two floor lamps were lit. It was a dim, gentle light that did not sting the eyes. But there was still light. Gu Jingyuan sat up in bed. A cascade of black hair spread loose, falling just to his waist. His expression was still a little dazed, as though for a moment he could not tell where he was. After collecting himself, Gu Jingyuan stepped out from behind the folding screen. The…-

As the saying goes, to win over a man, you must first win over his stomach. Of course, this principle could also be applied to Gui Huan, who loved to eat and was a silly, naïve sweetheart. Just like that, in only a few days, Lin Xi had successfully become Gui Huan’s meal buddy and friend. After a short period of contact, Lin Xi realized that Gui Huan was inexperienced in worldly matters, but his academic studies were actually quite good. He was also a genuinely nice…-

On the day the first snow began to fall in the north, a tavern ten miles outside the capital welcomed a group of distinguished guests. It was rare to see so many people come by on such a cold day, especially ones clad in armor. The tavern staff bustled about serving dishes, and the sharp-eyed waiter brought a pot of hot tea directly to the main table. A dozen or so soldiers were scattered at various tables. Only two people sat at the main table: a high-ranking general with a fierce and intimidating…

The next day, after Gu Jingyuan had finished attending morning court and just returned home to change his clothes, a message arrived from the Regent’s residence summoning him over. When Gu Jingyuan arrived at the Regent’s manor, he had not yet seen the Regent when Gu Shenming blocked him outside. Gu Shenming was the Regent’s biological son: both the legitimate heir and the eldest. Now that the Regent wielded overwhelming power, not only was Gu Jingyuan’s status far beneath his, but among all…

Heavy snow had fallen the day before. The Imperial Garden lay wrapped in silvery white, pure and spotless, yet tinged with a touch of cold desolation. It was no match for summer, when flowers bloomed in riotous abundance, competing in brilliance and splendor. Only when Emperor Yuwen turned a corner and stepped onto the long corridor did he catch sight of a flash of red standing amid the vast expanse of white snow. At once, a few strokes of color were added back into the world. But Gu Jingyuan was…

Gu Jingyuan slept straight until noon. When he learned that Emperor Yuwen hadn't returned to the imperial study after morning court but had gone to another palace hall to discuss affairs with his ministers, he hurriedly got up and dressed. “Why not rest a bit longer, Lord Gu?” Eunuch Hong, the chief eunuch attending Long Yanzhao, had personally waited at his bedside for him to wake. Seeing Gu Jingyuan begin to dress, he quickly ordered servants to bring his clothes and said, “His Majesty was…

Emperor Yuwen was almost always in a poor mood whenever he returned from visiting the Empress Dowager. This time, his expression was worse than ever. Matters between mother and son were not something outsiders should interfere in. Gu Jingyuan did not go looking for trouble, finding an excuse and preparing to leave the palace. Long Yanzhao did not try to detain him. He merely ordered that a sedan chair be prepared and instructed the guards to personally escort Gu Jingyuan home. “Since it’s a…

Drenched in the downpour, Gu Jingyuan felt like an insignificant drifting duckweed at the mercy of others. Sometimes, he would struggle a little. But this type of weak struggle only ignited a man's primal instinct to conquer, becoming the most potent aphrodisiac, carrying both of them to climax. During this time, Long Yanzhao loved to tease him. His mind was a bit unclear having drunk himself into a stupor today. He was unable to restrain himself from his baser impulses, and his speech became…

In the teahouse filled with the fragrance of tea, the young nobleman who had just caused a stir by striking someone suddenly ran off and came back with a skewer of candied hawthorn in full view of everyone. This in itself was already strange enough. Even stranger was that he actually held the skewer out to the ethereally handsome young man sitting across from him… As if presenting a treasure. The scholars in the hall watched, all of them inwardly puzzled. How old were these two? Though…

As their rate of descent slowly decreased, the hurricane-like tearing sensation and weightlessness finally disappeared. But they still couldn’t touch the ground at all. Because there was no ground in the phantom realm. Lin Xi lifted his head and brushed away the hair blown across his eyes. He then saw that Gui Ying and Xue Mufeng looked even worse off. The perfectly-arranged hair crown that Sect Master Senior Brother had tied so meticulously had already flown dozens of meters…
