Wednesday was the day Shen Miaomiao hit the worst writer's block of her life. She had spent the entire morning staring at the document for Chapter Ten of her novel. Her two leads had progressed from t...

Since Yunshu had only meant to help the scholar, and no real harm had come of it, Ling Wu was prepared to let her go. But Yunshu refused to leave. She wanted to tag along to the Li residence and see t...

We went through the list together and came up empty. "Could it be Vale?" Hugo said at last, not quite able to keep the name steady. Vivian frowned. "I had the same thought. So I had him checked. Last ...

By the time the car stopped outside the villa, Sheng Linyou was half-conscious. Yin Xigui helped him up to the bedroom on the second floor and used a warm towel to wipe the cuts on his face and wrists...

By the time the banquet wound down, I still hadn't found Blaire anywhere. Some best friend. She'd promised to drag me here to court investors, and then vanished like smoke. My phone chimed. Blaire. Th...

When she reached Qingchen's room, he was sitting on the couch fully robed, eyes clear—looking for all the world like he'd been awake for quite a while. Ling Wu carried in a plate piled with almond cri...

The streets at night were nearly empty. Ling Wu trailed behind Qingchen, ambling along at half speed. She had so many questions. Why had Master come back early? Why had he happened to turn up in this ...

Qingchen's later explanation to Ling Wu went like this: given their relationship, "husband and wife" was the only fitting thing to call each other—every bit as close as master and disciple. That was w...

The man looked at her with a trace of doubt: “Miss Ling, you're really too impatient—makes me feel I shouldn't be taking this money! And we're complete strangers. You walk in talking about signing a c...

If one had to find a word for the scene at hand, "caught in the act" fit best. As far as Ling Wu was concerned, she was now exactly like the fickle young lord from her storybooks—flirting about with s...

Heavy with regret, Ling Wu walked out of the teahouse. She raised a hand to shield her eyes from the harsh sunlight, in no mood to be cheerful. The demon had slipped away, and to make matters worse he...

Sixth Senior Brother had barely returned when Eldest Senior Brother left again. Ling Wu's days turned miserable. With Eldest Senior Brother around, she'd at least had someone to chat with. He knew so ...

Early that morning, Ling Wu woke to a commotion—not the spirit bird, more like a handful of voices. Tossing and turning proved useless, so she sat bolt upright, threw on her things, and headed for the...

I peeled myself off the floor and called the one person who'd never graded me. "Blaire here. Talk fast, I'm mid-sketch." "Blaire. Hugo and I are done." There was a beat of silence, then a thwack of a ...

My life ended with Yu Shen saying, “Ruan Ying, if you found out, I'd never be able to show my face again.” The rooftop railing was digging into my waist. Far below, a loudspeaker's announcement blurre...

Chapter 6: The Debt and the Sale (Part 6) Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. Leather-bound books, some with gold lettering faded by time. Wooden ladders that glided along rails. A large antique globe near ...

Qian Yu was panting hard, her lungs burning. She clutched Qian Duoduo and spun in circles through the woods, but every single time, that crooked tree materialized in front of her like a curse that wou...

In the end, Ji Xunzhi did snatch the Wordless Heavenly Book back from Ling Wu. After that, he dared not flaunt it again—especially not in front of her. He smoothed the creases his grip had left, then ...

After Lu Chen rescued Chapter Four with his red pen, Shen Miaomiao finally learned her lesson about writing. She stopped chasing exaggerated domineering-CEO formulas and began concentrating on details...

Time flashed by, and it was March. Through Ling Wu's tireless efforts, she had, in half a year, achieved something like actual learning. When Qingchen heard, he decided to find an occasion to take her...

After returning from the Celestial Realm, Ling Wu resumed her shut-in ways—not stepping out her door. The senior brothers went on as ever: the demon-hunters hunting, the cultivators cultivating. Only ...

"Aria? She's nothing but a bit of fun." The words stopped me cold in the hallway, two chilled bottles of champagne in my arms and a bag of ice pressed against my ribs. Three years. Three years of comi...

Chapter 25: Earning It Back Tang Yu spent the entire day's classes hopelessly absent-minded. Even sitting at his desk, he wanted to be eight hundred meters away from the person beside him. Ji Qian'ang...

Back then, Shen Ci was nineteen—young, brilliant, and already going places—and Li Funing was seventeen, unmarried and waiting at home. Paired together, they'd have made quite the story. Shen Ci was th...

“Forgive my bluntness, but without the cover, I would have assumed I was reviewing a general's revenge saga set in an imaginary dynasty.” Cold air seeped through the spacious, brightly lit editor-in-c...

When the white light faded, I found myself standing in front of a workstation. Sticky notes covered the partition. Three monitors were stacked at the edge of the desk, a packet of spicy snacks was wed...

“How dare you—” Seeing Ling Wu looking so pitiful, Qingchen's fury broke loose. He formed a seal to raise Ling Wu up, then struck at Wenyao without the slightest mercy—and so fast. There was a scream,...

The day the Trial Assembly officially began, Ling Wu was over the moon. She was up before dawn, dressing and primping. Out here she and her senior brothers carried the face of Mount Kunlun—beauty had ...

“Sir, the deal is done.” Victor sat in his car, listening to Mike’s report. “Good work.” His voice was unmistakably pleased. The call ended. Victor looked out the window at the estate in front of him—...

Victor had barely stepped through his own front door when his mother’s call came in. He stared at the caller ID, brow knitting, and only answered after a few seconds. Mida’s voice came through. “Victo...

Lynne stared at the two of them—Luna and Victor, side by side—the words stuck in her throat. A long moment later she recovered, the corner of her mouth curling. She cleared her throat and looked at Lu...

The wine flowed, and everyone was pleasantly buzzed. Around ten fifty, Joey and the colleagues at the next table said their goodbyes one by one. Only Luna’s table lingered on, chatting in fits and sta...

Everyone turned to look at Luna—including Victor, seated right across from her. Luna froze for a beat before collecting herself and declining politely. “Sorry.” The man took it gracefully—smiled, shoo...

Gu Zai'an covered his face, deeply resigned. Could this attention magnet please be less of an attention magnet? There was simply no dealing with him. Lin Qinyan, seeing none of his expression, even as...

She snatched the phone back and pressed the advantage. “Mr. Sheng, when Madam said 'it's nothing,' she didn't mean it. She said it because she believes you won't take her side.” Beside her, Lin Ting l...

Xu Xingye's eyelids gave a violent twitch. He almost sat bolt upright. At the last possible second, thanks to the self-control forged by years of goofing off in class, he crushed the impulse and only ...

Gu Zai'an eyed him with suspicion: was there something wrong with this kid's brain? He gave Gu Qingbai a once-over and clicked his tongue. Gu Qingbai looked up at him. “What is it, Brother? Is somethi...
