New York in summer smells like hot asphalt and cheap perfume. To everyone else, anyway. To me, it smells like nothing at all. Three years of practice taught an Omega how to flatten her scent into some...

With Xiao Sun on board, the workshop ’ s capacity barely caught up. I did the finishing. He did rough grinding and semi ‑ finishing. The final surface correction was still done by me. ASG ’ s orders s...

We touched down at Heathrow at two in the morning, and the whole crew had the pale, silvery quiet of wolves coming off a night flight. One night in London, then back to New York, then seventy-two hour...

Su Zhen had a secret. It was a secret she had kept hidden for a very long time. Whenever she was bullied at school, whenever she sank into despair, this secret always gave her confidence. She and her ...

Outside the cockpit door, Daisy was interrogating Keane like a she-wolf on a mission, and Keane — my mate's Beta, my ex-husband's best friend, a man physically incapable of keeping a secret when a pre...

Wrapped in each other's arms, they slept peacefully through the night. In the two years since Sheng Linyou had been passed from hand to hand, warmth and comfort had become rare luxuries. He woke becau...

Half asleep, Gu Zai'an kept feeling a tickle on his face, as though someone's eyelashes were brushing against it. A bed that cost a thousand yuan a night really did deliver. The moment he lay down, he...

Days turned like pages stirred by the wind, slipping past to the scratch of pens and Chen Jingming’s occasional calls of “Nian-Nian.” The end of the first semester of our sophomore year drew quietly c...

A long silence settled behind Qian Yu. She moved experimentally, only for A-Ling to press her down again. “Have you seen my senior sister?” A-Ling asked. “No.” “Then why do you look exactly like her?”...

The hut the Immortal Master had told her about stood at the foot of Yunliu Mountain. It looked dilapidated beyond belief—one good gust and the whole thing would come apart. "Song of my thatched hut, w...

“Minister Shangguan…you know the stories about the plum blossom, don’t you?” Murong Qing asked when she saw recognition in his face. Of course he did. The Plum Blossom Thief had committed another crim...

Back on Mount Kunlun, Ling Wu slept for three days and three nights straight. Perhaps she had truly worn herself out; she did not dream at all. When she woke, she felt refreshed and clear-headed. As i...

The Trial Assembly lasted three days. Qingchen had meant to take Ling Wu back to Mount Kunlun first and return the next day. But a heap of Immortal Lords had invited him around; he truly could not sli...

Just when I thought my senior year would march to its end on schedule—tense but steady—fate bared its ugliest fangs. Life's hammer falls hardest when you are least guarded, closest to happiness, and i...

Actually, I can tell the difference between true love and desire, because there is no difference between them. Just like this report I can't accept—it looks cold, but in truth, it is a new beginning. ...

On the first morning after the "little prince" made his landing, the mist over Chang'an had not yet lifted, and the air carried a piercing cool. In the side hall of Shangqing Temple, the smell of medi...

Life in the apartment building was like a dream. Su Mosheng no longer woke in the deep of night. He thought of that girl with the stubborn eyes. Their farewell had not been a grand one. Unlike Su Mosh...

Chapter 1: Rebirth The Capital The teahouse buzzed with noisy gossip. A group of men sat behind a folding screen, trading the latest rumors from the capital. "Have you heard? That man from the Lin fam...

After leaving the house, Sheng Linyou tried everything he could think of. He called Yin Xigui. The first time, the phone rang for a long while before the call was rejected. The second time, it was swi...

On Monday morning, the Moxiang Literature editorial office was bustling. After Saturday's team outing and Sunday's rest, everyone was in fairly good spirits. Shen Miaomiao sat at her workstation, fran...

Senior year began earlier than any other grade. The chill of the first lunar month still lingered; the snow on campus had been swept to the roadside and piled into gray-black mounds. Bare branches poi...

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...

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...

“It hurts!” Xu Xingye ached all over, as though someone had taken his bones apart and shoved them back in at random. His eyes flew open. Instinctively, he braced a hand against the corner of the desk,...

Ling Yu rose anxiously, stepped close to the man, and finally stopped in front of him, looking down: “I've said that if I only wanted information, I wouldn't have come looking for a person at all. And...

Xu Xingye nearly bolted upright off the cot at the word “family.” He forced himself to stay still, pulling the blanket up a little and keeping his eyes shut, playing dead. The school doctor stood wher...

Ding Peichen had barely walked beyond the campus gates when Guan Heng sent a message: “I’m here. Where are you?” He shared his location and waited beneath a crooked locust tree. In truth, he did not p...

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...

Having regained her memories, Su Die decided to cast off her identity as a financial princess. She would follow her original plan: work to earn money and graduate from A University on her own, without...

I sighed at him. He was here because Kieran's little speech had lit him up like a fuse, and he needed somewhere to put the fire. Fine. I'd been putting out Hugo's fires for three years. One more, and ...

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 ...

I didn't tell anyone the whole truth for most of my life, mostly because there was no one to tell it to. My first memory is a dormitory in St. Agnes's Orphanage: forty beds, one radiator, and the soun...

At that point, what was one more scandal on top of the pile? I bent down again and pressed a kiss to Kieran Vale's cheek, slow and deliberate, while the whole booth watched. Then I looked up at Hugo a...

"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 27: Going Public It was the tenth day when everything finally settled. All of the assets under Yin Rui's name completed their transfer and liquidation, the pushback from the Yin family's old g...

Chapter 26: Warmth The news that Yin Xigui had taken over the Yin family spread through the entire business world within three days. First, the personnel changes at the old residence leaked out. The s...

When Su Die woke again, she heard sirens. In the instant she opened her eyes, she could not tell whether the sirens came from a dream or from reality. Qin Zu was sentenced to ten years for fraud. Xiao...

Su Zhen's Diary, 1 I met a bear. The bear had two eyes, and its eyes were full of fear. The bear held a knife and locked me in a room. I kept calling my sister's name in my heart, hoping the terrifyin...

Chapter 26: A Presumptuous Introduction Tang Yu's heart softened. Lin Juefei had been so busy lately that he was never around; whenever he came back, there were dark circles under his eyes, but he nev...
