- After eating lunch, Lin Wenjing finally had a legitimate reason to catch up on his sleepβnapping. He Xingran also took a nap, facing him completely defenseless.

Lin Wenjing was embarrassed to sleep facing him, so he faced the window. After lying down, he didnβt dare move anymore. More than half of his face was buried in his down jacket. He closedβ¦

- It was the hottest season of the year, and the ginkgo tree leaves in the Astrology Towerβs courtyard curled under the sunlight, looking wilted and sickly. Β Even the palaceβs notoriously domineering cat seemed to lose interest in troubling Qiao Guanxing, lazily lying in the shade beneath the tree, enjoying the coolness of the stone table. Β Occasionally, a gentle breeze would pass, and the copper bird wind chimes outside the window would slowly turn, emitting a few faint, crispβ¦

- 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. Β He felt like he hadnβt had the chance to prove his loyal adherence to materialism to the Crown Prince yet, nor had he managed to improve their workplace relationship.
