Even the palace’s 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. Occasionally, a gentle breeze would pass, and the copper bird wind chimes outside the window would slowly turn, emitting a few faint, crisp…- 27.9 K • Completed
- 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.

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.
