The pain caused Shi Qingshan to wake up. She could hear someone sobbing even before she opened her eyes. “Fifth Young Miss, Fifth Young Miss…” Shi Qingshan slowly opened her eyes, a maid’s face enlarged in front of her eyes. The maid anxiously cried, “Fifth Young Miss, Fourth Young Miss and Sixth Young Miss have invited you to go kite flying with them. Yesterday, flying kites had already hurt you so much… who knows what would happen today? Maybe you should just refuse them!” “Wen Cha,…-

Shi Qingshan quickly returned to the Prime Minister’s house. That man must have a big backing. She could only hope that no one followed her. “Qingshan? You went outside?” Shi Qingshan stopped and looked at the elegant and dignified woman in front of her. A wave of anger rolled through her as she recalled her mother who was framed to death. The hand hidden in her sleeve unconsciously formed a fist while her face wore an innocent and obedient smile, “Mother, I went to pick up the kite for Fourth…

Shi Mingyuan coldly said, “Not even sent out yet and you dare have a relationship with a man? If I don’t educate you well, my family’s reputation will go down the drain! Someone come! Hit her with a plank 10 times!” Hearing these words, Shi Jingxuan’s legs went soft. But pleading was useless by this point. Shi Mingyuan’s words are never taken back. These ten plank hits were all hit on her legs. Shi Mingyuan was clearly warning her not to run around with others. None of the people present…

Only after seeing that they left did the old madam open her eyes. Shi Qingshan hurriedly picked up the scriptures, “Grandmother, please rest. I will read immediately…” “Qingshan.” The old madam held her hand, her eyes kind and pitying. “Grandmother can see that you are a smart and honest child. Your birth mother’s mistakes have nothing to do with you. However, you must understand that Grandmother is the grandmother of all 9 of your siblings. I cannot only care about you and disregard the…

The madam frowned slightly, “Imperial Uncle and war god… I have never seen him before. He is quite powerful, winning countless wars and obtaining lots of territory for the Xuanqing Empire. “However, he is not the blood-related little brother of the Emperor. The Emperor was grateful to him for saving his life and recognized him as his sworn brother. No matter how good he is to him, it’s impossible for a war god to become Emperor. Ignore him!” The mother-daughter pair had major plans for the…

“Open your dog eyes wide and look clearly!” Under Shi Qingshan’s momentum, Wen Cha promptly took out the deed to the Moya Pavilion out. On the other hand, Yang Ze was not surprised at all and merely smiled like he was watching a good show. When the manager saw this, he was shocked: “You stole this!” “Blind old dog, this is the Prime Minister’s Fifth Daughter: the Chu City Jiu family’s blood-related daughter! You are exactly looking at the rightful owner!” After spitting a mouthful of…

The noble wives all knew inside that the madam was clearly favoring her own child, afraid that the illegitimate child would snatch the limelight away. How narrow-minded. They didn’t make fun of her through words, but those eyes that stared at her seemed to speak, causing Shi Chenghuan and the madam great embarrassment. The old madam didn’t say anything more and merely took Shi Qingshan into the temple. Jiu Liu was originally a talented literate woman and Shi Qingshan was brought up by her. At ten,…

Shi Qingshan wore a face full of confusion, “Scriptures? What scriptures?” The old madam gave a look and Hu Momo placed the scriptures in front of Shi Qingshan. Shi Qingshan opened it, read a few pages, and then replied, “Grandmother, this granddaughter indeed used to like to copy scriptures, but not recently. This should be the writing of Fourth Sister.” “You…” Shi Jingxuan had just wanted to swear when a sharp glare from the old madam forced the words back down her throat. She was…

Shi Qingshan looked at the cold moonlight outside her window, anger and hatred pressing deeply on her heart. Right now, her birth mother was still trapped in the Dakong Temple. Her grandfather was still rather healthy, so the madam wouldn’t do anything against her yet. But with her current power, even if she could get Jiu Liu out, staying in the temple was safer on the contrary. If there was anyone in the Prime Minister’s residence she was worried about, it would be her biological brother, Shi…

The royal palace of Aveloria stood like a divine relic bestowed by the heavens themselves. White marble walls shimmered under the morning sun, towering spires piercing the clouds as if daring the gods to descend. The scent of blooming winter camellias drifted through the courtyards, masking the sharper smells of polish, wax, and quiet desperation. It was beautiful. Impeccable. And utterly suffocating. “Listen carefully. I will not repeat myself.” The sharp voice sliced through the assembly hall…-

That night, after searching all the rooms on the second floor, Gu Yuhuan also opened every room on the first floor except the one belonging to the golden key, but still found no useful clues. The fixed time when she would be forced into sleep was approaching, and anxiety burned in her heart like flames. “I’ll play you a piece.” Mr. Lover seemed to know she would refuse, so he didn’t give her the chance and simply placed his hands on the piano keys. Gu Yuhuan’s mother was a very artistic…-

The food on the table had already spoiled, giving off a foul smell. Gu Yuhuan stared blankly at these familiar surroundings, her eyes gradually filling with tears. Tears and sweat rolled down together, and she wiped her face clean with her clothes. After steadying her emotions, the first thing she did was try to see if the door could be opened. She had just reached the front door when she heard the sound of it unlocking. …Who is it? The moment Gu Yuhuan saw the person who came in, tears streamed down…

Figuring out the current date and time wasn't very difficult. It was now 6:12 p.m. on August 13, 2020. Gu Yuhuan had entered the instance at 1:26 p.m. on August 13, 2020. Before answering the questions, she had specifically checked the clock in the living room, so she was certain of the time. In other words, even though nearly four days had passed inside the instance, only about four hours had passed in reality. Gu Yuhuan: "But the food on the table has already spoiled..." Suddenly, she paused:…

Night fell. In the depths of the ancient, gloomy castle, all the attendants had vanished. There wasn’t a single soul to be found—apart from the very much alive Gu Yuhuan. Dead, deathly silent. Every heavy door was frightening enough; before opening one, you could never know what lay behind it. Bluebeard’s castle had three floors in total, and there were 123 keys. Gu Yuhuan thought that probably no one who entered this game would be reckless enough to open the door belonging to the golden key. Gu…

"Ah—" Knowing what was inside and personally seeing it was completely different. Before opening this door, Gu Yuhuan thought that she had mentally prepared for it. However, she wasn't. Gu Yuhuan was just a normal 23-year-old young woman. She wasn't particularly fond of horror movies either. When she was a child, she would be so terrified after reading her mother's detective novels that she couldn't sleep. She absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, didn't have the courage to come face-to-face with a…

Ding-dong. Gu Yuhuan was awakened by the virtual clock. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a bed draped in lace sheets. The sheer princess-like decor of the room made her freeze for a moment. Rubbing her temples, she sat up and checked the virtual clock—three hours had passed since she’d fallen into a deep sleep. Remaining time: 76 hours. Thankfully, although she had no idea why she’d passed out, she was still wearing last night’s clothes, and her gains from the previous night…
