Qin Zu vented his cruelty against the windowsill of the F Group president's office. Today was his last day working at F Group. He imagined the day he would become a king the entire world under his con...

Xi Yan was taken into an enclosed metal chamber for a series of examinations. From head to toe, inside and out, he underwent twenty-three tests in all. After each one, a new group of people took him s...

Xi Yan skimmed the virtual world's background information, then promptly lay down on the ground, spread his hands, and closed his eyes. “Staying alive in this hellhole is hard enough. Who's going to b...

“It hurts!” Xu Xingye ached all over, as though someone had taken his bones apart and shoved them back in at random. His eyes flew open. Instinctively, he braced a hand against the corner of the desk,...

The moment they entered the room, Shen Jibai shut the door. When he looked up, his gaze was immediately caught by Ye Jingchuan. Jingchuan had just finished bathing, water still glistening on his skin....

The ducal residence's imposing vermilion gates slowly opened. Outside, curious commoners and aristocratic sons eager for a spectacle stood packed several rings deep. In the middle of the long street, ...

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...

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...

“I want to make money! I want a fat savings account!” With his daily mantra complete, Xi Yan threw himself into work as though someone had given him a shot of adrenaline. His colleague across the way ...

That was the scene Gu Huaizhi found when he opened the door. On the hospital bed, Yan Yu sat with his head lowered, slightly curling black hair obscuring his eyes. Fever flushed his face, making the d...

Pei Jin explained, “Actually, I'm not interested in any of this.” Ling Yu had no intention of pressing him for his reasons. If he didn't want to discuss it, there was no need to keep asking. She merel...

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...

Ling Yu felt that this place was exactly as the notebook described. She also felt that using scenery like this in her own paintings would surely produce something different. She simply committed it to...

Yan Yu closed his eyes, unwilling to look at his injuries. Once he'd steadied himself, he picked up the bathrobe from the floor. At least his clothes were still in the bathroom. He wouldn't have to le...

“You thought you could scheme against me?” The voice above him was vicious. Yan Yu hit the floor. His forehead struck something hard, and warm blood began to trickle down his face. It didn't hurt. [Sy...

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...

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...

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...

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...

“Jingchuan, this is the caviar you like. Pair it with the foie gras in front of you. It's a rare delicacy.” Shen Jibai spooned out some caviar and had the servant beside him bring it to Ye Jingchuan. ...

The dreary week of exams finally passed. When the bell rang at the end of the last paper, the entire sophomore building erupted in cheers of relief. As my taut nerves relaxed, exhaustion came flooding...

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...

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...

My life ended with Yu Shen saying, “Ruan Ying, if you found out, I'd never be able to show my face again.” The rooftop railing was digging into my waist. Far below, a loudspeaker's announcement blurre...

Xu Xingye simply stared at Lu Siting without saying a word. The guy was asking whether he wanted a beating, while inside his head he was thinking about eyelashes, beauty marks, and whether he could co...

Great Qi's spring examinations had always been the battle through which scholars across the realm hoped to leap the dragon gate. Outside the Ministry of Rites, candidates from every region formed seve...

Liang Zhecheng bent down, picked Lu Nan up, and settled him in the armchair in front of him. Then he leaned close and took an enormous sniff. “Yes! That's it! That cat smell!” Poor little Lu Nan tucke...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 morning's work was nearly over. Shen Yueji saved her document, picked up her mug, and took a sip of water that had long since gone cold. A sudden commotion erupted across the office, followed by t...

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 ...

(I) Each autumn rain brought a deeper chill. Since autumn began, more and more people in town had fallen ill. Shen Qingyu was the clinic's only physician, and she scarcely had time to breathe. Everyon...

After morning exercises on the fifth day, Lin Ting sat on a stone bench in the garden drinking water while Shen Yueji stood beside her wiping away sweat. Her phone vibrated. A short message from Sheng...

Sheng Zeyun shifted in his seat, clasped his hands over his knees, and turned to the practical details. “My wife leads a simple life. She mostly stays at the villa, painting, reading, or occasionally ...
