by DewdropTL — In the sixteenth year of the Yongming era, mid-winter, eleventh month. Restrained from desire for one day, no obstacles encountered, diligent in reading, good. The white snow blanketing the ground reflected a stark, blinding light. To prevent the students from dozing off, the master had specifically opened the windows. This was a misery for Ji Linxi, who sat at the back by the window. Once opened, the bone-chilling wind lashed against his entire body. He sat at his desk, his hands clutching his book…

by DewdropTL — If he hadn’t seen that handsome young gentleman before, Ji Linxi might really have agreed to take only one thousand taels. By now, the sky had already darkened. Since it was winter, the cold wind howled through the courtyard. All the trees had lost their leaves. In daylight, the place looked merely bleak, but at night it became far more eerie, as though tall, silent human shadows stood all around, coldly watching everyone. The servants lit the candles and placed the lanterns under their covers,…

by DewdropTL — Seeing that the banquet was about to come to an end, Prefect Song, who had been constantly filled with anxiety, also slowly put his heart at ease. Just as he raised his wine cup to drink, a voice suddenly resounded outside. "What are you going to do?" "Daoist Master Chu, you cannot go in right now!" Old Master Wang frowned and looked toward the housekeeper: "Go quickly and see what has happened." The housekeeper had only just walked a few steps outside when Ji Linxi and Chang Xi pushed past the…

by DewdropTL — The cold wind raged as Chu Yu lightly stroked the sharp thorns of the bundle, as if genuinely considering whether such an instrument of torture could be put to use. Wang Chiyi, who had been certain the Crown Prince would never dare to whip him with this, suddenly lost his confidence. No way, right? Is he actually going to use this thing on me? He lowered his head and shot a fierce glare at his servant. This bundle of thorns was something he had ordered the servant to find; the servant, unaware it might…

PGR CH7

by DewdropTL — The beautiful young gentleman looked shy and bashful as he gently tugged at his loose sash and called him, “Xi-lang.” By rough estimation, it was just about time. Only then did Ji Linxi get up from the bed and say in a low voice, “I’ll go out later and have them seal off this courtyard. Find a chance to leave on your own.” “I know.” The sharp female voice had become a calm male voice. Ji Linxi flicked his sleeves, made his hair even messier, smeared some blood from Chang Gui’s…

by DewdropTL — Hearing this sentence from Old Master Wang's mouth, Zhao Yun was also resentful to the extreme, her voice like a cuckoo weeping blood: "Your Old Master Wang's son is nothing but a villain who commits all kinds of evils in Yongcheng! Your wealth and property! All come from blood and sweat money squeezed out from the common people! You buy rice at low prices! When the rice is almost entirely bought up, you sell it at high prices for money! Pei! Your entire family are beasts, would I go to seduce a beast?!…

by DewdropTL — The History master sat in silence for a long while before finally telling Ji Linxi to return to the classroom. Ji Linxi walked back at an unhurried pace. As he entered, he sensed hostile glares directed at him. He brushed off his robe with a dismissive flick, while maintaining an expression of someone shivering in the cold, and settled back into his seat by the window. The ancients said: to attack a man, one must first attack his heart; and to attack the heart, one must act according to the…

by DewdropTL — The concern was real, and so was the lust for a taste of tofu. At dawn, Ji Linxi’s biological clock woke him from that beautiful dream. Even though he realized he was about to wake up and desperately tried to hypnotize himself into not waking, the beautiful young gentleman in his arms still vanished in the blink of an eye. Ji Linxi was so angry that he sat bolt upright in bed and slapped himself hard across the face. “Useless thing! I told you not to wake up!” Just a moment ago, the…

by DewdropTL — In Yongcheng, Old Master Wang could be said to be the sky. Even the highest official in Yongcheng, Lord Prefect, had to be completely respectful to him, which gave Old Master Wang an illusion: that he could do whatever he wanted. If his Wang family really got sent to the Court of Judicial Review for doing such things, it would end in family ruin. At this moment, Old Master Wang felt incomparable regret for hosting these two noble young masters from the capital, and even more regret for believing that…

by DewdropTL — Prime Minister Wang Yang had lost his uncle and a key subordinate in one fell swoop, and his mood was abysmal. If his uncle deserved to die, Prefect Song’s death had been a necessity. Had the Dali Temple unearthed the records of Song’s money-and-power schemes with the Prime Minister, the repercussions would have led directly to Wang Yang himself. Although he was the one who ordered the hit on his uncle’s family in prison, he had been forced into a corner—only with the dead silent in their cells…
