Ji Xunzhi had returned mainly to gather reinforcements, so naturally he did not remain with Ling Wu for long. Not long after he left, Ling Wu fell into a deep sleep. She had that dream again. Flames t...

This was the two hundred and sixth time Ling Wu had been caught sneaking into the mortal realm. And the person who caught her was, as always, her most annoying Sixth Senior Brother. If it had been any...

“Little Nine, please—don't leave me!” Her eyes were tightly shut. Blood stained her lips, and her unbound hair lay scattered around her. Her robes had been soaked through with crimson. Frail as a with...

I thought our next meeting might come on some distant day—at a crowded turn in a stairwell, perhaps, or before a noisy cafeteria window. We would nod politely, two strangers who vaguely recognized eac...

After retracing her route for some distance, Ling Yu could no longer see where the old guide had gone. Night was deepening. As she approached the boundary between desert and village, she saw the off-r...

August was the hottest time of year. Never-Night Village, the subject of heated discussion online in recent days, had drawn no shortage of visitors. By six in the evening the sky was already darkening...

Yet the resemblance between those two faces was growing fainter. Tang Yu no longer thought of Tang Yifeng the instant he saw Ji Qian’ang. They had never been the same person. How could their outlines ...

They waited at the school gates for less than two minutes before Uncle Chen arrived. On the drive back, the cramps in Tang Yu’s stomach intensified, and the car ultimately sped straight to the hospita...

The school doctor went to the pharmacy for medicine and asked Ji Qian’ang to keep watch. Ji Qian’ang returned carrying a cup of warm water. Tang Yu lay on the bed beside the window, body curled in on ...
