Zhan Changfeng had no idea how long she had been unconscious. When she awoke, she was still draped in her previous clothes — it seemed no one had entered the room. Due to the conflict between the pure yin energy and the natural balance of yin and yang within her body, the left side of her body — from her abdomen to her shoulder, her arm, and her palm — had been entirely eaten away, leaving nothing but pale, stark white bone. Even so, it was fortunate that her pure yin bones had been forged to roughly…

Zhan Changfeng had purchased the grand mansion, but unfortunately its fearsome reputation was too widespread — craftsmen would tremble at the mere mention of its name and refuse to take on the work. Thus, the task of repairs and arrangements fell entirely to the guards. After this group of former royal soldiers managed to ruin a heap of lumber, they collectively picked up copies of the 'Carpentry Classic' and squatted in the corner to study it. "Looks like it'll still take some time. Let's at least get…

Han Laoshan's hair stood on end — he must have run into something evil on this late night. He cursed every manner of mountain spirit and wild demon, every ghost and goblin he could name, and prayed to every god and Buddha in heaven, all while keeping his eyes fixed on the shadowy figure — neither of them moving. The wind blew between them, flattening a swath of knee-high wild grass. A stray bit of dust from nowhere got into Han Laoshan's eyes; in the instant his eyelids blinked shut and opened again,…

There were other places she could let go of, but there was one place she could not. The Burial Forest — a place sealed away in history, accessible only to the people of Yin, known to no one else. It had come into existence because of the Yin people, and had been hidden away because of them — a life-and-death precipice. Had the Yin people leaked this location, or had someone found it on their own? Zhan Changfeng had no way of knowing. She could only set the question aside for now. News of the upheaval…

Following the scent of blood, the Chongming bird swept through layer upon layer of forest shadows and perched on a branch, tilting its head to peer at a group of black-clad figures, its four eyes reflecting the image of a young man in a dark robe. Hmm, no, no — this one was a girl. It spread its wings again and took flight, soaring over small bridges and homesteads, winding alleys and distant mountains, before circling above a secluded villa. With a clear cry, it plunged downward. Li Chonghua heard the…

Whether the others left to seek refuge with the lords or to inform on them to Li Mao, Zhan Changfeng didn't care. She took only the remaining hundred or so people and quietly slipped out of the Imperial City, heading toward Yizhou. Along the way, Jiang Wei kept stopping himself from speaking, furtively tugging at Zero-Four's sleeve — the other shadow guards were accustomed to hiding in the shadows, but Zero-Four remained visibly at her side as a personal bodyguard. "Has Your Highness truly encountered an…

Wild grass grew knee-high before the great manor's gate. A stone lion, its surface darkened with age, lay face-down in the mud — the place had clearly been abandoned for a long time, with not a single soul in sight. The guards raised their broad-ringed blades and hacked a narrow path through the undergrowth. The wind blew, and with a creaking groan, half a rotted gate collapsed to the ground with a thunderous crash. Dust and debris billowed outward, making a group of men who had walked through blood and…

Li Mao had submitted several petitions requesting an audience with Li Yunqiu, but each one was rejected. This left him with a creeping unease — could something have happened inside the palace? Li Yunqiu was not one of the Emperor's consorts, so palace intrigues could hardly harm her. The only real possibility was that it had something to do with the Crown Prince or Chonghua. These past few days, the Crown Prince had still been attending morning court to handle state affairs. If that was the case, then it…

The endless sound of hoofbeats filled the streets, so terrifying that the common people bolted their doors and shuttered their windows, not daring to peek out, wondering what these military lords were about to do. Outside the Lu Gate. "Reporting, my lord — the ministers have arrived outside the Gao Gate, and the garrison troops have entered the Imperial City." Li Mao's expression was grim. "Do not obstruct them. Let them break through unhindered." "Understood." Li Mao gritted his teeth. "Have they found…

"Imperial Princess, Your Highness, we are half a day from the Imperial City," said Ling Huaizhi, his heart heavy with sorrow, his gaze fixed on Mei Yichi with undisguised adoration. Mei Yichi gave no reaction, having already sensed that the situation in the direction of the Imperial City was not looking optimistic. The refined young nobleman elegantly rolled back his sleeve and poured a cup of wine for him. "This humble servant offers Your Highness a toast — may your canopy shine as splendid as brocade,…
