Having finally communicated their mutual affection, the two were at that stage of reluctance to part. Even after walking for quite some time, neither felt fatigued; instead, their spirits were bright and invigorated. The vicinity around the lake was naturally lively, lined with numerous restaurants and landscaped gardens, where many people were releasing sky lanterns across the open lawns. One by one, the sky lanterns ascended into the heavens, creating an ethereal, dreamlike sight. Seizing the…-

Situ Chen hadn't taken it seriously at first. His chess skills had always been formidable; in matches against the other imperial princes, he had never once lost. Yet now, facing the labyrinthine web Bai Su had laid out, he was utterly powerless to resist, lacking the slightest clue how to break through. With only a brief lapse in concentration, his forces were routed without a shred of armor left standing. "This... I've lost again!" Dispirited, Situ Chen cleared away the chess pieces in his hand.…

Bai Su received intelligence that the frontier tribes had recently made significant moves. Among them, the Take Tribe had risen abruptly as a formidable force; after annexing the surrounding smaller tribes, their strength had grown exceptionally formidable. Whispers and rumors also circulated, speculating that Great Yan might consider partnering with the Take Tribe to invade Xiling together. Naturally, he knew such an alliance would not be easily forged, yet this might present an opportunity. Thus,…

The half-month passed quickly. On that day, the Emperor departed the imperial palace, leading a vast entourage up Panlong Mountain, where Huguo Temple was situated. Bai Su was also among the guarding ranks. Clad in silver armor, he appeared before everyone walking completely as normal. With a long sword hanging at his waist, his innate commanding presence drew many admiring glances. Whispers rippled through the crowd. No one knew how the Heir of the Marquis of Zhongyong had healed his crippled right…

Chen Tian could more or less guess what was going through Bai Su's mind, yet he chose to say nothing, eager to preserve an air of mystery. After all, countless books claimed that curiosity about someone was, more often than not, the very beginning of falling in love. Deep down, he felt his lover inherently harbored affection for him anyway; they were soulmates whose spirits were intertwined, after all. Even so, the sensation of re-wooing and pampering him from scratch was utterly…

On the other side, having returned to the Marquis’s estate, Bai Su found himself in a rare good mood. Ever since his grandfather passed away, he hadn’t experienced such a feeling of lightness in a long time. Fortunately, the Autumn Banquet had ended late, and Bai Heguang had been fed too much wine by his colleagues and was thoroughly drunk. Otherwise, once he returned to the estate and saw Bai Feizhang’s battered state, followed by Madam Liu whispering venom into his ear, he definitely would have…

Arc 1: Counterattack of the Disabled General The current month in Xiling was the prime season for admiring autumn scenery: the sky was clear and bright, not a cloud drifted across the horizon, and the landscape outside the capital was painted in splendid hues. Located south of Dayan and the Northern Lands, Xiling was originally a bountiful and fertile realm. However, a major war against Dayan six years prior had drained more than half of the national treasury. The old emperor favored civil…

Having drunk several rounds past midnight, Chen Tian had consumed a bit too much and ended up lodging in the imperial palace. By the time he woke, it was already late in the morning. After grabbing a simple bite to eat, his thoughts turned toward heading to the Marquis’s estate to invite his sweetheart out for an excursion. Originally, he had debated whether he should take a more roundabout approach and wait a few more days. However, for one, he missed his lover terribly; for another, plenty of…

Chapter 3: Counterattack of the Disabled General (3) Seeing that this group of people wouldn't finish their sparring anytime soon, Chen Tian let out a yawn and closed his eyes. Though he appeared to be resting his eyes, he was actually using this pocket of time to fully absorb the detailed plotline of this world. In truth, the world they were currently in was but one of millions of small worlds, all of which were contained within a single divine artifact. This artifact was originally created by…

The natural, unforced intimacy displayed by the man opposite him left Bai Su somewhat at a loss. He could only turn his head aside to evade that burning gaze, his body stiffening as he let Chen Tian hold his hand tightly, his mind in utter disarray. Yet when half a beat passed and the person opposite remained silent, Chen Tian grew somewhat anxious. Worrying, he gently nudged his sweetheart's shoulders around, stubbornly insisting on seeing his face—only to meet Bai Su’s intricate gaze fixed upon…
