Chapter 3: The Legitimate Wife After the meal was finished, Tang Zhuozhuo felt a sense of being at a loss. Huo Qiu’s presence had always been overwhelming; the moment his tall frame drew near, she instinctively flinched away, the dampness of her palms slowly seeping into her handkerchief. In her past life, her heart and eyes had been entirely filled with Wang Yi. She had become an expert at handling Huo Qiu: never saying a single unnecessary word, answering only what was asked. As the days turned…-

Chapter Two: Rebirth After an eternity of darkness, a blinding light flashed across Tang Zhuózhuo's vision. She squeezed her eyes shut on instinct, then slowly and carefully opened them. Above her hung a bed canopy, delicate and fine, ivory silk embroidered with jade-leaf begonias traced in gold thread, scatter-stitched with silver droplets that shimmered like rain caught in moonlight. She had barely twitched her fingers when she heard a woman's voice outside the curtain, soft and…

Chapter 11: Jiaojiao. The night was cool as water. Green grass grew thick along the narrow winding paths, and Tang Zhuozhuo’s vivid skirt brushed against them in a subtle arc. In front of her, a palace maid carried a lantern, treading carefully. Palace maids with some status serving a master usually had their own small side-rooms. While not luxurious, it was far better than several people crowding into one room. Turning a corner and passing a row of small huts, the maid in front…

Chapter 10: I Can Afford to Raise You. Darkness, thick as mist, rapidly besieged the entire Eastern Palace. From the towering halls to the winding palace paths, none escaped its grasp. A hand lightly brushed aside a pearl curtain; the moist, round beads collided with a crisp clinking sound. The palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside stood as silent as cicadas in winter. The quieter it was inside, the more these servants worried. The June night was not particularly chilly, and the ice…

The Past After Eleanor disappeared into the trees, Reynart and Reck lingered in the clearing for a long moment. The encounter with a naked beauty had left them both profoundly shaken. After a while, Reynart spoke, his voice surprisingly bright. "Come now, Reck, let’s find those wild strawberries. The days of spring are short, and if we are late, it will worry the Queen Dowager..." "Indeed. Understood. Let’s make quick work of it, then..." Reck replied and began to scan the area as he…-

The Offer Seeing the blade pressed against Reynart’s neck, Reck instinctively reached for the dagger at his waist. But the woman was far too quick to allow that. "Don't. Or your master will lose his head." Reck lowered his hand. He had a quick temper, but he wasn't a fool. He ground his teeth in frustration, glaring at the woman, wondering how things had spiraled into this predicament. "You seem to be of no small standing, yet you carry no sword at your side..." The woman's words stung like…

Chapter 9: Xijiang. Huo Qiu’s sword-like brows slanted toward his temples. Though he appeared sinister and suffocating when he frowned, he was exceptionally handsome when he smiled, exuding a powerful masculine aura. When Tang Zhuozhuo finished washing her hands and walked to his side to grind ink, he offered a tiny, fleeting smile. It was so brief that it vanished before she could even fully register it. For a moment, she suspected she had seen wrongly. She remained silent, quietly grinding the…

Is She a Swordswoman? Tucked away in a corner of the western forest lay a natural spring. It was the only spot where the trees parted, allowing bright sunlight to pour down and illuminate the area. And there, in the water, a beauty bathed without a single thread of clothing. Though spring had arrived, the wind and the water should have been far too cold for a bath. Yet, the woman washed herself without the slightest sign of discomfort. Her long, thick black hair fell in gentle waves. Her bright,…

The Unwanted Child The sun shone with a gentle warmth, and a soft breeze stirred the air. Birds sang from every bough, and flowers of every imaginable hue were beginning to bloom. It was spring, the season long-awaited. In the Istella Kingdom, situated in the northeast of the continent, the winter was long and unforgiving. The earth would freeze, locked deep beneath a heavy shroud of snow. Regardless of status, whether noble or commoner, everyone yearned for and celebrated the coming of…

Chapter 13: The Birthday To Tang Zhuozhuo’s surprise, although Huo Qiu said nothing further about the incident, he began coming to Yiqiu Palace to dine every few days. Each time, he made a point of watching her personally swallow every drop of her medicinal broth. However, he never stayed the night. Tang Zhuozhuo felt a secret sense of relief at this, though An Xia was becoming visibly anxious on her behalf. Early one morning, Tang Zhuozhuo dressed and walked to the small four-paneled window.…
