Didn’t Recognize Footsteps echoed in the alley behind her. Hua Rongyue snapped out of her daze only at the last possible moment, retracting her hand from the man’s throat where just moments ago, she’d nearly killed him. She stood frozen in place for a long while, stunned by what she had almost done. Only when…

Red Fingernails Walking through the narrow alley, Hua Rongyue suddenly felt something she hadn’t experienced in nearly two months. A faint trace of darkness and danger — a feeling she used to only have while roaming inside Tianyi Tower. Ever since she brushed past that man earlier, she’d been enveloped by that old familiar tension.…

The Red Mole These past few days, Doctor Qi had been frequently absent from Baicaotang during the day. Hua Rongyue heard he was quite busy — the local yamen had several prisoners needing treatment, and Doctor Qi, being one of the best doctors in town and an old acquaintance of Yan Sheng, was often called…

Sixth Sense The Six Doors (六扇门) was an organization caught between the Jianghu and the imperial court. Although most martial artists didn’t particularly like the name, the truth was — they frequently had to deal with the Six Doors. It was, in essence, a government body similar to the Jinyiwei (Embroidered Uniform Guard), yet with…

Orphan “Which sect were you from before?” “None.” “Where’s your family from?” “My ancestral home is beyond the border.” Hua Rongyue had paid a heavy price for a moment of impulsiveness. Now, she sat properly in front of Yan Sheng, honestly explaining her background. — Of course, Yan Sheng wasn’t interrogating a criminal right now.…

The Pretty Boy Can Fight Ever since waking up in this body, Hua Rongyue had sometimes found herself doing things that defied human biomechanics. She was trying to convince herself not to overreact—it was becoming routine by now. Her body’s reaction had been lightning fast, but Doctor Qi and Wan Fulián’s eyes couldn’t keep up…

Xiao Han Not long after arriving at Baicao Hall, Hua Rongyue had heard that Wan Fulián had a childhood sweetheart. In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. Yet it wasn’t until today that Hua Rongyue finally saw this person for the first time. And he was… quite something. “Hey, you’re the new…

Wu Ming the Painter “Let me take a look at your eyes,” the painter’s voice was slightly hoarse as his fingers lightly brushed the corner of Hua Rongyue’s eye. This man was the shop owner, named Wu Ming. He wasn’t in great health and walked with a slight limp. Hua Rongyue found it a bit…

The Mysterious Constitution of Doctor Qi Begins to Reveal Itself Changing Yi Linglong’s fate? Hua Rongyue thought it might be better to just avoid the martial world altogether from the start. If she could, she wouldn’t even want the slightest connection to it—despite having devoured countless wuxia novels in her previous life. She could “replay”…

Hua Rongyue and Yi Linglong The martial world has never been a peaceful place, and in the Jiangnan region, that truth has become even more evident over the past two months. First came the mysterious fire at Tianyi Tower, in which the previous Tower Master was killed. That incident triggered a wave of power struggles…
