Many people knelt on the ground in despair, powerless. This was their home, built through the hard work of generations. Yet, in the face of a disaster like this, human strength felt insignificant, like an ant trying to shake a tree. With a fire of this magnitude, unless a torrential downpour struck at this very moment to quench the flames, it was impossible to extinguish it with mere human effort. Some began to bow their heads, others beat their chests and stomped their feet, while some couldn’t bear…-

Chu Yi's long, thick eyelashes fluttered slightly, the tips trembling with faint golden sparks that twinkled, while a hint of amusement flickered in his dark eyes. "The fire brigade is here!" A deafening cheer erupted throughout the entire street as the fire brigade's soldiers finally arrived, albeit slowly, to assist the yamen officers in extinguishing the fire. Gu Yan Fei, however, paid no attention to any of this. After finishing her task, she headed straight back to the Gu residence on Hua'an…

"Plotting with a tiger, how could there be any benefit in it?" Chu Yi sighed softly. Instinctively, he reached for the sword at his waist, only to grasp at empty air, suddenly remembering that the sword his father had bestowed upon him had already been given away. It was well known that during the late emperor’s reign, he had favored Kang Wang, his youngest legitimate son. He had repeatedly suggested changing the Crown Prince and had given Kang Wang the best fiefdoms and military authority in the…

"How dare you! You poisoned the medicine to harm the First Prince and still have the nerve to plead innocence!" Prefect He glared down at Doctor Cheng from atop his horse, his voice full of righteous indignation. Doctor Cheng, his hair disheveled, remained silent. His gaze turned sharp, though his heart was in turmoil. "Prefect He!" A series of hurried footsteps approached as the head constable rushed over with two bailiffs from the back hall. "We just found this under Doctor Cheng's bed..." One of the…

As she reached the final stroke, the tip of the brush trembled uncontrollably, leaving a fingertip-sized blotch of crimson at the end of the talisman. Gu Yan Fei put down the brush, placed it on the brush holder, and crumpled the talisman paper into a ball without even looking at it. She tossed it carelessly into the white porcelain wastebasket beside her. The kitten’s eyes lit up as it leaped into the air, catching the paper ball perfectly in its mouth! Landing lightly, it batted the paper ball across…

Gu Yan Fei rinsed her mouth and wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief before smiling and saying, “Elder Sister, since it’s rare for you to visit Dan Yang City, why don’t we go out for a walk?” Gu Yun Zhen hesitated, biting her lip, when Gu Yan Fei continued, “I’ve been here for three months and haven’t gone out much. I’ve heard there are many delicious foods in Dan Yang City—salted duck, goose oil pastries, osmanthus candied yams... and crispy dried fish. They’re all…

Old Madam Gu absentmindedly took the string of prayer beads that the maid had picked up, muttering to herself, “So soon?” Eight years ago, during the late emperor's reign, the Dajing Dynasty signed a ceasefire agreement with the southern Yue Kingdom. As a gesture of sincerity, the late emperor sent his then ten-year-old eldest grandson, Chu Yi, to Yue as a hostage, where he remained for eight long years. At the end of last year, the late emperor passed away, and at the beginning of this year, the…

Doctor Cheng replied stiffly, “Sir, I am a doctor. I save lives; I do not take them.” Si Hai curled his lips into a cold, meaningful smile. “This matter will benefit your country as well,” he said. “This is a message from our Wangye to be conveyed to your nation.” Doctor Cheng pressed his lips together tightly, his mind swirling with uncertainty. It was well known that the First Prince, Chu Yi, had not been granted a princely title. Could the Wangye Si Hai mentioned be... Kang Wang?! Could…

After the carriage entered the Gu residence, the large vermillion gates were firmly shut. The entire Gu household stirred with the arrival of the Old Madam Gu. The servants, who had guarded the Dan Yang City estate for many years, had never seen this elderly lady from the marquisate before and were understandably a bit nervous. Surrounded by attendants, the Old Madam Gu made her way to the main hall and took a seat. The maids quickly served her tea and snacks. The Old Madam sipped her tea slowly, and…
