Chapter 299: Character Profiles (I) Gan Ji Gan Ji grew up in the family's old ancestral home. In middle school, his maternal grandfather arranged for him to attend a key school in the city. With excellent grades, he went on to a top-tier high school. During high school, he became utterly obsessed with mechanical models, often staying up all night reading ancient manuals. This caused his grades to slip, so in the second half of his sophomore year, he switched to studying art and was eventually…- 540.0 K • Completed

- Chapter 301: Trio Q&A Time I've collected some questions for a Q&A session with our trio! Gan Ji's Turn Q: What is the most impulsive thing you've ever done? Gan Ji (smiling as he looks at He Yu): Going to the second floor of the shop and opening that drawer. It started over a decade of pain, and I haven't been that impulsive since (rubs his hands together). Now, before I open a cabinet, I always ask what's inside first, hahaha. Q: Do you prefer love at first sight or love that grows…

- Chapter 293: The Visitor (Part 3) They tossed me into the car, likely the back seat given how spacious it felt. Two men were assigned to watch me, flanking me on either side. As soon as I sat down, I started feeling grateful that they hadn't bothered to gag me with cloth again. However, the hemp ropes were tied in tight knots; even with the right techniques, untying them would take time. I listened as the kidnappers climbed in and slammed the doors. Judging by the way the sound traveled, I estimated…

- Chapter 294: Tian Yuqing's Trouble Tian Yuqing received a letter. It was an unusual letter. Written on the paper were four words: "Mist, Willow, Rain, Cease." This was a secret code unique to the Five Masters. When translated using the He Clan's cipher, it revealed an address, instructing him to go there to collect the goods. However, what troubled him was not the cipher, but an extra line of text: You need a living dead man. This was truly baffling. Tian Yuqing sat under the veranda drinking…

- Chapter 295: The Parenting Manual (Part 1) I stood in the kitchen staring at the bottle warmer as it heated up. He Yu's giggles as he pulled funny faces with toys out in the courtyard were still echoing in my ears, and I suddenly felt that my recent decision had been ridiculously rash. Leaning against the counter, I counted on my fingers. It hadn't even been half a month, yet the improved spirits and daily routine I had worked so hard to rebuild had all been dealt a severe blow. My insomnia was…

- Chapter 296: The Parenting Manual (Part 2) When the hospital finally notified me to pick up the baby, He Yu came along anyway. He paid out of his own pocket for a mountain of supplies, which had me laughing just looking at it all. The night before bringing her home, I stayed up late digging through a pile of junk in the basement of my grandfather's ancestral home to pull out the old-fashioned cradle I'd used as a baby. The next day, I washed all the padding He Yu had bought, dried it thoroughly in…

- Chapter 297: The Parenting Manual (Part 3) Lu Ayao only looked at me briefly without saying anything, though. He went upstairs to put his things away, then headed out to the countryside with He Yu in my car. He Yu had arranged with a pig farmer a long time ago to slaughter a pig as the New Year approached, and it had already been delayed for a while. Standing on the second floor, I watched their car drive away. My right arm felt strangely weak, probably from holding the baby for so long. Straining…
