When the news reached the capital, Chu You was utterly stunned. He had clearly struck an agreement with the Nan Yue people, and the Nan Yue Emperor had even expressed in his letter a willingness to send representatives to Danyang City for detailed discussions. Yet, at this critical juncture, the Nan Yue people had abruptly turned their backs on him. Not only had they set fire to the city, but they had also assassinated Governor He, effectively wresting control of Danyang City from his grasp. At the time…-

Gu Yan Fei glanced back briefly before continuing on her way. She indeed had matters to attend to. After leaving Jia Hui Courtyard, she instructed the coachman to take her to Qiong Fang Zhai. Located at the bustling southern end of the city on Zhenhua Street, Qiong Fang Zhai sat amidst a vibrant row of shops. The street was lined with establishments, including taverns, fabric stores, cosmetics shops, and specialty food vendors, most of which were renowned old businesses in the capital. The street itself…

Gu Yan Fei couldn’t help but think of herself. In her previous life in the Yaoling Realm, she had neither father nor mother and was taken in by her master at the age of five. Her master once calculated her fate and told her that her destiny was plagued by the "Seven Kills" star, rendering her forsaken by Heaven’s Dao. From birth, she was abandoned by the natural order. What ordinary people could achieve in a year required her ten years, and even a hundredfold effort could barely make up for the…

Gu Yan Fei didn’t linger in Cihe Hall and instead returned to Yuheng Courtyard with Juan Bi in tow. The autumn chrysanthemums swayed gently with the shadows of the trees in the breeze, adding a sense of tranquility and a touch of chill to the atmosphere. Along the way, the occasional passing servant walked briskly, their chatter carried by the wind. Words like "Kang Wang," "proposal," and "Third Miss" floated to her ears intermittently. By the time they reached the entrance to Yuheng Courtyard, Juan…

Old Madam Gu’s frown eased slightly as she listened. She was well aware that the Murong family might not fully meet the Empress Dowager’s expectations, but they were at least a respectable match. Such a marriage would give the Empress Dowager reason to see the union as being of some benefit to Kang Wang, rather than entirely insignificant. Steadying herself, Old Madam Gu ran her thumb over the smooth, waxy surface of her prayer beads and said, "Xin Wen, go and comfort Yun Rong later. Make sure she…

"Meow!" Qing Guang’s attention was instantly captured by the glittering contents of the box. Its green eyes widened to saucers as it leaped into action, its paw landing squarely on the box. In one swift, lightning-quick motion, it snatched a perfectly round gold bead. But its antics didn’t stop there—Qing Guang’s paw sent the wooden box toppling, spilling out more than half of its glittering contents in a cascade of gold and jewels. Gu Yan Fei stared at the scene, momentarily speechless. Chu Yi,…

“You—!” Old Madam Gu’s loose cheeks trembled as she pointed at Gu Yan Fei and asked coldly, “What nonsense did you spout today at Jing Wang Manor?!” “Grandmother, this has nothing to do with Second Sister!” Gu Yun Zhen hurriedly stepped in front of Gu Yan Fei, defending her. “Silence!” Old Madam Gu snapped, her anger flaring even hotter. Nearby, Xia Lian’s face was full of indignation as she felt wronged on behalf of her mistress. She couldn’t understand what tricks the Second…

Gu Yan Fei tilted her head upward, gazing at the azure sky. Her face, as flawless as white jade, remained calm and composed, betraying neither anger nor surprise. Internally, she mused: As expected of the one favored by the heavens. Gu Yun Rong likely believed the heavens were unjust to her, hence her earlier declaration of "the heavens are indifferent" before the Empress Dowager. But Gu Yun Rong was mistaken. The heavens treat all beings equally. Even for a world's chosen child, the favored one of…

Golden sunlight streamed through the partially lifted carriage curtain, spilling into the dim interior. Both the man and the cat noticed the light and, as if synchronized, turned their heads toward Gu Yan Fei. Black eyes, dark as ink, and green eyes, vibrant as jade, both with subtly upturned corners, traced bewitching arcs. Qing Guang froze for a moment, seemingly realizing that it had been caught. The sudden recognition that it had sneaked along without permission sent the cat into a panicked scramble.…

Gu Yan Fei’s two sentences were nothing short of explosive, and the crowd erupted into murmurs of shock and disbelief. The Duke of Ying’s family had a storied history, with their ancestor earning the title of duke after following the founding emperor in his uprising and achieving countless military successes. Since the founding of the dynasty, the Duke of Ying’s household had remained in the Emperor’s favor, their prestige unwavering. In contrast, the Marquis of Dingyuan Residence was now in…
