After tidying the strands of hair that had fallen over her forehead in front of the bronze mirror, Zheng Hanrui moved the mirror aside and smiled as she asked, "Sir, this bronze mirror feels so warm to the touch and has been polished so well—where did you get it? I’d like to buy one too." Gu Ning'an replied blandly, "This mirror was taken from my tomb." Zheng Hanrui: ??? "So it was... buried with you earlier... ahem..." Zheng Hanrui’s expression grew complicated. Whatever she said felt off, so she…-

The scholar, the martial youth, and the childhood friend on stilts—all three of them looked at Gu Ning’an with slightly different, complicated expressions. It seemed all three of them harbored romantic feelings for the daughter of the Zheng family... But what did Zheng De think about it? Given how he doted on his daughter, he must be aware that there were suitors for her here in Lexiang County. Yet if he didn’t interfere at all, that alone proved these three young men were of decent…

Whoosh! Gu Ning'an formed a sword-finger seal with one hand and sliced open his palm, blood immediately welling up from the wound. After he had smeared the bronze mirror in front of him with his blood, he carefully examined it. Time ticked by. Sitting beneath the kumquat tree, Gu Ning'an let out a long sigh once the blood on the bronze mirror had completely dried. “Looks like blood won’t work either. It’s not a matter of quantity.” Just then, the kumquat tree swayed, producing a rustling sound…

“Dong dong dong~ dong dong dong~” The woman in the white dress shook the rattle-drum in her hand, producing a rhythmic sound. After distancing herself from the man in fine robes, it only took about the time of one incense stick for the once-bulging cloth pouch on her shoulder to become noticeably deflated. All of a sudden, as she glanced across to the opposite end of the long street, the bored look on her face changed abruptly. “When did Lexiang County get such a handsome gentleman?” As she…

By the time Gu Ning'an and Mu Sheng returned to Granny Kong’s courtyard, night had completely fallen. Granny Kong had long finished preparing a table full of dishes and kept them warm on the clay stove. She was sitting by the door, quietly waiting for their return. “Granny!” From a distance, Mu Sheng shouted cheerfully. Hearing Mu Sheng’s voice, Granny Kong immediately stood up and called out with a smile, “Come on in, come on in, the food is ready. You two head inside—I’ll bring the…

Early the next morning, it was another clear, sunny day. The vendors of Lexiang County were already out setting up their stalls. The streets and alleys were filled with the enticing aroma of snacks and the calls of hawkers. On one long street, a young woman in an ivory-white dress walked gracefully along. Her beauty was astonishing. Her brows arched like distant mountains tinted with mist, her eyes sparkled like autumn water, deep and expressive, as if hiding a thousand unspoken words—or like a…

As Gu Ning’an and Mu Sheng slowly sank into the depths of Fuxian Lake, the world around them gradually turned pitch black, as if swallowed by an endless night. Once they had found their footing at the lakebed, Gu Ning’an released a flash of spiritual light. The light split into two, then four, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into countless soft, glowing lights that spread outward in all directions. Wherever the light reached, the pitch-black lakebed was instantly illuminated—not…

A pot of strong tea gradually faded in color. After finishing the last of it in his cup, Lei Ben stood up and said, “Mr. Gu, it’s about time. The two of us will be heading back now.” “You’ve probably not had much rest since your return,” Gu Ning’an said. “Let us see you off,” Gu Ning’an stood as well. “Heh, alright then!” When the three reached the courtyard gate, Lei Ben turned around and said, “Sir, no need to come further. We’ll visit you another day—and bring some pork…

High above the boundless azure sky, Gu Ning'an and Mu Sheng sat upon a seemingly invisible yet steady cloud. Gu Ning'an wore a spotless white robe, fluttering gently in the wind, his deep eyes staring off into the distance, lost in thought. Beside him, Mu Sheng had her hair tied up in a bun and was curiously glancing around, wanting to take in the full beauty of the clouds around them. At this moment, they were headed toward the “Inverted Mountain Lake,” located on the outskirts of Great…

“Exactly!” Lei Ben slapped his thigh, a radiant smile blooming across his face. “Didn’t we find out later it was all just a misunderstanding?” “Auntie Song had pulled me in to help sweep the courtyard.” “And it was during that sweeping… that I swept up my fate with Qianqian.” Hearing that, Gu Ning’an chuckled. “So your marriage was arranged by Auntie Song?” “Mhm!” Lei Ben scratched his head sheepishly. “Back then, I told Auntie Song I liked plump girls…” “And…
