After fooling around on the forum, Shi Wei simply forgot about the student handbook. Shen Li only had a year left until graduation anyway. What trouble could a sensible, obedient model student like hi...

After leaving the house, Sheng Linyou tried everything he could think of. He called Yin Xigui. The first time, the phone rang for a long while before the call was rejected. The second time, it was swi...

Perhaps it was his imagination, but Shi Wei's room-change request seemed to be approved unusually quickly. They'd barely finished lunch before its status changed to Accepted. Xu Yan eagerly volunteere...

The room was pitch-black. Strangely, merfolk possessed night vision, yet that ability had stopped working the moment they entered. In the center of the darkness, a torch flared with deep blue fire. It...

My name is Shi Wei. By the time you read this sentence, I will already have removed your brain... “Qiu He! Qiu He! Big news! Huge news! The forum's practically exploding!” Qiu He glanced at his franti...

A voice demanding my doom dragged me awake. “Miss Su. Mr. Fu says you must sign this agreement today.” The words poured down from above, ice-cold and professionally patient. I forced open my heavy eye...

In an instant, Qin Ting's face felt as though it were on fire. She sat down without a word, turning the pages of her script with a furious rustle. The man who had coldly refused her a second earlier s...

From the main courtyard, Wang Guizhi's wailing rose louder and louder, as though her heart had been gouged out. When Cen Sheng stepped through the gate, several rough-work matrons were clumsily helpin...

When the white light faded, I found myself standing in front of a workstation. Sticky notes covered the partition. Three monitors were stacked at the edge of the desk, a packet of spicy snacks was wed...

Half asleep, Gu Zai'an kept feeling a tickle on his face, as though someone's eyelashes were brushing against it. A bed that cost a thousand yuan a night really did deliver. The moment he lay down, he...

Shangguan Jin lowered his brows and pulled aside the curtain. The person he had seized was a woman, plainly dressed, her clothes covered in blue patches. Murong Qing kept her voice low. “Who are you? ...

Shen Jibai's promise struck Ye Jingchuan as utterly absurd. It was Shen Jibai who had disregarded his wishes and forced him into this disgraceful situation. Now the perpetrator was acting as though he...

Lin Qinyan was pushing Gu Zai'an into a stall when a pale hand caught his arm. Gu Qingbai's gaze moved back and forth over their closely pressed arms. At last, he pulled Gu Zai'an in front of him and ...

The café Lu Nan had been heading for was called Cats in the Alley. Its owner, a fairly young man named Xu Zhiyang, had expected him for an interview two days earlier. Xu Zhiyang had called twice witho...

Lu Nan was being held in a strange man's arms. He opened his mouth, but not a word came out. All he could do was marvel inwardly: a hero could still make a dazzling entrance without a thunderclap over...

Once he was in the car, Gong Zheng's craving for a cigarette returned. He silently cursed Zhao Zhouming. The bastard had lit one for him, then taken it away after barely a few drags and forced himself...

Gong Zheng connected the miniature data cloner. The advanced device didn't require the laptop to be switched on: connected directly to the drive, it could copy everything at a touch, silently and with...

The basement of the Zhao residence. The darkness was almost absolute. Blood and rust tainted the stale air; chains clattered against one another. Anyone stumbling upon the room might have mistaken it ...

F Group had once been a commercial empire in Y City, fleeting as a passing cloud. Qin Zu had once been glorious beyond measure. His photograph frequently graced the covers of financial magazines. Back...

Cold sweat slid down Zong Wen's cheek. His fingers clamped onto the sofa's armrest as he gave a very low, muffled groan. “Mr. Zong!” Assistant Zhou was scared out of his wits. His briefcase crashed to...

The next morning, Xu Xingye arrived at school with two unmistakable dark circles beneath his eyes. He had barely slept. Now, on the way to his classroom, he radiated the exhaustion of someone repeated...

The air in the hall seemed to freeze. The young emperor, Li Chengqian, rubbed his eyes and looked again at Li Ce, still frozen in a jumping-rope pose. A trace of alarm entered his voice. “Imperial Unc...
