As the sky darkened, the fiery red sun painted a brilliant tail across the horizon. In the countryside, dinner was eaten early. By this time, Gu Ning'an had already finished his meal and was preparing to leave. However, Madam Yu and her son had left even earlier. After completely laying her cards on the table, Madam Yu had wasted no time in heading out to find a matchmaker. Whether by coincidence or fate, the matchmaker quickly suggested a suitable young woman. Eager to hold a grandchild as soon as…-

Gu Ning'an ate his meal in peace, but Zheng De seemed to be holding back a stomach full of frustration. As soon as they stepped away from the table, Zheng De dragged Gu Ning'an aside to vent—his complaints, of course, were directed at his second aunt and cousin. According to him, that mother and son duo had always been vain and eager to flaunt their superiority since childhood. Over time, their relatives grew tired of it. Whenever possible, they would avoid them, and when avoidance wasn’t an option,…

Since ancient times, power struggles have always been paved with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with countless bones forming the foundation of thrones. If the victor is benevolent, the dead at least buy a few years of peace. If the victor is ruthless, then bones will be buried atop more bones. In the main hall of the Secret Intelligence Division, the fallen “defeated” were dragged out like sickly pigs and stray dogs, tossed carelessly into the stables by the Prince Huai's Loyalists. A few…-

The Secret Intelligence Division was located just outside the inner courtyard of Prince Huai's estate, divided into three sections: the front, middle, and rear courtyards. The front courtyard served as the administrative center, handling daily affairs. Those who came and went were mostly high-ranking officials, primarily in civil positions. The middle courtyard, more concealed, was used for interrogations, detainment, and secret agent assignments. The rear courtyard, the most secluded area, housed…

After politely declining Yu Fu's offer, Gu Ning'an simply focused on his meal. Since Yu Fu hadn't been genuinely offering to help him find a job, he also sat down without pressing the matter. However, as soon as they were seated, everyone at the table—except for Gu Ning'an and Zheng De—stood up one after another, saying, "I'm full, you two take your time." It was clear from their expressions that they weren’t actually full—they just didn’t want to sit through Second Aunt’s endless boasting…

During the New Year, every household was filled with festive cheer, and the Zheng family's courtyard was adorned with lanterns and decorations, giving off an unmistakable sense of double joy. As they walked into the courtyard, Zheng De introduced Gu Ning'an to the gathered aunts and relatives. Some of Zheng De's relatives were from Lexiang County, while most came from nearby villages or other counties. As a result, many of them had never heard of Gu Ning'an before. Now, with such a refined gentleman…

The full moon hung in the sky like a bright silver disk, casting layers of soft white light over Lexiang County, as if draping it in a translucent, shimmering veil. In front of the Hu family's courtyard, Gu Ning'an carried two bamboo baskets filled with fresh vegetables. Across from him, Old Master Hu, eyes hazy with intoxication, insisted on escorting him home. Gu Ning'an repeatedly declined, persuading the old man to go back instead. It took quite some time before Old Master Hu finally…

Inside Prince Huai’s residence, a few outnumbered “rebels” finalized their plan and prepared to execute their coup, each setting off to carry out their respective tasks.

He felt that in this vast prince’s residence, where people constantly came and went, pledging allegiance one day and betraying the next, he alone had truly earned the prince’s trust. Look, even in such a…

Inside the secret chamber. Ren Ye slowly got up, a hint of confusion on his face. “This is strange… They’re telling me to seize power, but there’s no mention of a reward, nor is there a main quest.” “That’s just how Star Gate works.” Tang Feng pouted. “The more important the mission, the less they’ll spell it out—like a ritual sacrifice, you have to figure out the details yourself. But I do think the term ‘seizing power’ is quite heavy… This is going to be…

Not just Imperial Inspector Liu, but even Ren Ye felt his head buzzing when he saw the ghost wearing a dragon robe. The last time he and Second Fool explored the secret chamber, the sudden extinguishing of the lights had plunged the room into total darkness, preventing them from seeing the ghost's face. But now, up close, the ghost was not only clad in a dragon robe but also wore a dragon crown. His figure was thin, and his soul appeared dim and weak. This attire was practically screaming at the three…
