The 81 days of prayers quickly passed, and on the day it ended, the people from the Eastern Palace arrived early at the Astrology Tower to welcome the Crown Prince back. Qiao Guanxing felt dejected. He felt like he hadn’t had the chance to prove his loyal adherence to materialism to the Crown Prince yet, nor had he managed to improve their workplace relationship. He didn’t even know if he could save up enough money before the Crown Prince ascended the throne to escape. Now…- 27.9 K • Completed
- Zhou Jingyuan had indeed always been very concerned about Qiao Guanxing leaving the palace previously. But beyond just anger, there was more confusion, bewilderment, and even some unspoken sense of grievance. He couldn't understand why Qiao Guanxing would want to leave him. He reflected on whether he had done something wrong or if there was something outside the palace that Qiao Guanxing was more attracted to—some place or person he longed for? Every time he thought about these possibilities, a…

Lin Wenjing stepped away from the class dinner table and went out to the restroom to smoke. It was a tradition to have a party at the beginning of the semester. The hotpot restaurant was lively and fully packed—too lively even, to the point it made him a bit annoyed. After hiding for a moment of quietness, he stubbed out the cigarette, threw it in the trash can, and washed his hand. Someone entered the restroom, reeking of alcohol. The man stumbled over to the sink and fell on him. Lin…- 12.1 K • Completed
- The view from the observation deck truly lived up to its reputation. Through the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, the entire A city was spread out below. On the bustling intercity highways, cars moved in a steady stream, and the constant "beep-beep-beep" of horns filled the air. It was past 7pm, and the evening rush hour wasn’t over yet. To make matters worse, certain sections of the road were closed for construction, making the already congested traffic even worse. In the seven-seater…

- The first time Zhou Jingyuan came to the Astrology Tower was during last year’s autumn. At that time, Qiao Guanxing had only just arrived, still half-blind to the ways of the Imperial Palace.

- Since the royal inspection tour concluded, the weather grew increasingly warmer day by day. Summer arrived early this year, and by May, people could already wear light garments. The Astrology Tower courtyard flourished with lush greenery, particularly the patch of mint planted by Qiao Guanxing near the wall. Every breeze carried its refreshing fragrance. Zhou Mingse, who hadn't visited for some time, circled the mint plants upon entering the garden and remarked with a smile, "No wonder I detected…

“Hello, do you need wash…wash…” Jiang Chaosheng stood at the door of a dorm room, speaking English with a heavy regional accent. He stammered wash for a long time but still couldn’t come up with the English word for air conditioner. Every early summer at C University, it was customary to arrange for Mechanical Engineering students to clean the air conditioners throughout the schools. Three minutes ago, Jiang Chaosheng carried his tools and knocked on the door of Room 666 in the boy’s…- 6.2 K • Completed
- In his dream, Zhou Jingyuan found himself back four years ago, when he was just 14. His mother’s illness had worsened. Her once radiant appearance had become withered, and the inner palace had lit charcoal fires early in the morning. Thick curtains hung in layers, not daring to let a single bit of cold wind inside. He knelt at her bedside, carefully holding her hand. Her wrist was pale and thin, seeming as though it would snap with the slightest force. At that time,…

- The next morning, Qiao Guanxing woke up, promptly forgetting about the failed materialistic meteorology study plan he had tried to implement the night before. Instead, he eagerly anticipated heading out. Since arriving in Hezhou, he hadn’t ventured out of the palace gates, and he was eager to see what life was like outside. Besides, this was a business trip sponsored by his superior—free meals, accommodations, and travel expenses paid for. Who wouldn't be excited? In the hall,…

“If we had a child, would you stay?” If they had a child, there would no longer be any pressure from their elders. Was it possible that the alpha wanted a child as well? The omega suddenly looked up, wide-eyed, his mouth slightly agape—a rare moment of blank confusion. Quickly, he lowered his gaze again. Marrying the alpha had only been possible due to their highly compatible pheromones. In other words, it was easier for them to conceive exceptional offspring. He had known…- 3.8 K • Completed
