This New Year’s Eve was destined to be unsettling. After receiving Chong Heng’s letter, Liang Ye rushed back without rest. Upon returning to the palace, before he could even drink a cup of hot tea, news of Bian Yunxin’s suicide attempt arrived. When Liang Ye arrived with his men, Bian Yunxin was crying her eyes…
The sound of firecrackers and fireworks echoed outside. The last flicker of flame in the stove slowly died out. Wang Dian stared at the note in silence for a long time before finally slipping it into his sleeve. The next day, Chang Ying and Chang Li appeared silently in the inner chamber as agreed. “Young…
Episode 40 “How…?” How did she get here when she couldn’t even move properly because of her injury? Without a weapon, at that? I was about to ask her that when, “Gasp!” “Ugh!” I couldn’t because of the intruder that appeared before me. I thought Do-yoon would have held it back, so how did it…
Episode 39 A human? A survivor? The shock of discovering a survivor in this place was momentary — I was immediately overwhelmed by the endless stream of zombies pouring out. I grabbed Do-yoon’s arm and pulled him along. If it were just one or two zombies, we might have been able to fight them, but…
Liang Ye remained silent for a while. “No, go to Qingcang County.” Wang Dian looked at him, struggling to find words. “Are you that eager to play?” “Weisui City is too close to some jianghu sects of Southern Zhao. We caused quite a commotion in the marketplace during the day. If something really happens, Zhen…
Standing on someone’s unknown rooftop, Wang Dian smiled and gently touched Liang Ye’s still-warm neck. “Was it fun?” Liang Ye held back for a long while, the redness on his neck deepening. Wang Dian asked with slight surprise. “Then what were you doing earlier in the outskirts of Shiyuan City? And at noon, you even…
“Just came to mind?” Brantley nodded in a confused state. I was scared. Something that could influence Brantley. Something that could give him knowledge about the magic of the gods- ‘That could only be the medical book passed on by my family.’ Whenever we touched the book, it led me to Grauzer. ‘Could Brantley have…
“A.. woman you.. Loved?!” I doubted my ears. God fell in love with a human?! Seeing my disbelief, Grauzer gave a bitter smile. — “Are you having a hard time believing? Or do you find me pathetic? Well.. every god who found out that I loved her laughed at me.” Grauzer scoffed at himself. “N-…
Wang Dian dozed off for two days, and his cold had mostly improved. Liang Ye was terrible at taking care of people. When he spilled medicine on his own collar for the umpteenth time, Wang Dian finally couldn’t stand it anymore. He snatched the medicine bowl and drank the large bowl in two gulps, gritting…
Wang Dian felt terribly uncomfortable. His breathing was already labored, and being carelessly pressed into the blankets nearly suffocated him. He struggled angrily, and his elbow unexpectedly struck Liang Ye’s nose, causing him to loosen his grip in pain. Still furious, Wang Dian sat up and grabbed Liang Ye’s collar, shouting, “I don’t want to…
The bright moon hung in the sky, casting intertwined shadows onto the soft snow. Thin layers of snow fell gently from the treetops, landing on warm skin before quickly melting away. The droplets, mixed with still-warm sweat, flowed along the smooth lines of the neck, soaking the soft collar. Wang Dian gripped Liang Ye’s shoulders…
After parting ways with the three gods, I climbed into the carriage. “Shall I take you back to the estate, miss?” the coachman asked. I thought for a moment before replying, “Please take me to the Grand Temple.” I wanted to resolve this uneasy feeling inside me. ‘To do that, I need to meet the…
I wavered, overwhelmed by a shock that made me feel as though all the blood had been drained from my body. “Your Highness! Are you alright?” “She seems too shocked by the situation,” The noblewoman said in a panic. But the voices of Seo Dajong and Yenna continued to whisper mercilessly in my head. “Yeah…..
I replied with a sad expression, “I feel sorry that Yenna thought that way.” “It’s alright. We can get closer from now on. Once His Highness Prince Patrick returns, I’ll be sure to share this happy news with him first.” Yenna spoke generously as if she were the kindest person on this earth. I showed…
“It was Archbishop Liang’s doing. He, along with the high priests, used the missing people as sacrifices in a ritual. He wanted to plant a curse on His Majesty, the Emperor!” In order to save herself, Yenna pinned all the blame on Archbishop Liang and the priests. Strange traces of witchcraft and magical circles, things…
The air became chillingly tense. “What kind of nonsense is that?!” Prince Patrick shouted, his face twisted in anger, almost as if he were a different person. Grandfather scolded him harshly, “Be silent! I shall ask the missing persons directly. What happened?” “The Duke speaks the truth! I lost a great deal of money investing…
