Yushi started walking away from Xueye’s home. As he went he could still sense that he was being watched. Much to his relief that Jinse...

Jinse returned to the Fox’s Den in a bit of a sour mood. The idea of a dragon near Xueye was getting to him the more he thought about it....

Yushi hated that he had to leave so quickly in the morning to deal with matters regarding the Eilian spies. Riluo had left a sealed...

Xueye finished cleaning up their dishes. It was quick but the moment he stepped back out in the seating area he saw Yushi had laid down...

“Something has been weighing on you,” Xinhua voiced softly to Shizhe as they walked in the brisk night air. She could tell it was more...

Yushi finally felt normal again after drinking Dr. Jingji’s latest version of the remedy. The thrumming of unsettled energy beneath his...

“Xueye!” Xinhua yelled out the moment she spotted Xueye and Jinse enter the door. She bolted over and wrapped her arms around her...

Xueye felt an odd sense of relief being able to work again. It was rather nice having Xinhua’s help, despite his efforts to convince her...

Shizhe sighed as she paced the palace courtyard. She was starting to feel as restless as Yushi had been earlier. She had so much to...

Shizhe struggled to focus on what she was reading for a while as she waited for Dr. Jingji to stop by. Her mind was reeling. She hadn’t predicted their impromptu confession in the slightest. Granted she was a little more concerned about Xinhua’s safety in her last peer into the future than to snoop into their interactions. She wanted nothing more than to melt into her plush seat and soak it in. She was flipping through the pages of one of her new books a bit absentmindedly.

“Didi*? It’s your sister,” Xinhua called as she knocked on the dark wooden door. She heard frantic steps approach the door. It swung open...

Yushi stood on the balcony off his room, nursing a cup of coffee rather than his usual tea. He had barely managed to get any restful...

Yuliang arrived at the Crystal Estate as the sun was setting but no one had returned as of yet. While there was a little concern, knowing it was typical of Shizhe was both a relief and an annoyance. Shizhe wouldn’t risk Xueye’s life. She would even fight to protect him should anyone slip past her foresight. Yuliang was more annoyed because she knew Shizhe had a tendency to dally on her outings to the city. It’s why Yuliang wasn’t in a rush to arrive, even arranging for an inc

Yushi felt a little odd in his more prestigious robes. He’d spent most of his time in recent days passing off as someone that was...

The Fox’s Den wasn’t filled with patrons. Various employees were milling about, cleaning and preparing for opening. Yet no one batted an...

Upon stepping inside, the crisp scent of paper and ink filled the air of the shop. The walls were lined with books and scrolls from floor...

Shizhe practically skipped down the streets, rather delighted in her plans for the day. She knew Yushi would be a little resistant to the...

Yuliang paced in her office, growing rather restless with the stagnation of her investigation. She knew full well that if Shizhe insisted...

Shizhe yawned as she returned to nibbling on the bun. She’d stayed up much later than she intended as she made her search for the...

After Shizhe left, Yushi couldn’t help but feel worried about Xueye when the possible resolution was not in his presence. Shizhe seemed...
