Lu Yun didn’t care much that the Prince of Henyang refused to send any congratulatory gifts to the Lu family. He had only casually made an excuse to declare his claim on Luo Lingyu and warn Liu Mu to stay away. The gifts meant nothing to him. What was more important now was that since…

Lu Yun found it hard to understand women’s moods. Just yesterday, he had privately humbled himself to please her. She had been breathless, pink-cheeked, and dramatically exclaiming life and death beneath him. Lu Yun felt their conflict was resolved. Though he was annoyed when General Wei Cong suddenly interrupted them, overall he felt quite satisfied.…

The soldiers lowered their heads, not daring to look or speak. But that crisp, decisive slap didn’t just land on Lu Yun’s face – it struck everyone’s hearts, leaving them stunned. How could Miss Luo be such a fierce lady? Shouldn’t she be gentle and virtuous, as elegant and composed as the ladies in paintings?…

The war between the Northern and Southern countries was not over. Although the South had won a great victory, it was only the first phase. It wasn’t an easy victory either – they had merely reclaimed Ruyang and demonstrated Lu Yun’s strength to the other northern provinces. Previously, the North had frequently hinted at peace…

The mountain terrain was both high and steep. Lu Yun and Luo Lingyu returned to Nanyang, taking a detour that led them…

Lu Xian silently watched them discuss whether Zhou Zibo should leave. If Zhou Zibo was indeed the leader of the common people and the disciple and adopted child of the scholar Zhou Tan, her reputation would be sufficient. She could seek assistance from the common people for weapons and supplies. From Zhou Zibo’s actions in…

While letters were constantly being exchanged, and as the northern war was spreading between cities with Ruyang nearly falling, the court in Jianye issued a strongly worded decree — all commanderies must cease fighting to prepare for peace talks. The Northern envoys were stirring up trouble in Jianye, swaying the old emperor who was infatuated…

“Are you willing?” Lu Yun held the back of her head with one hand while caressing her face with the other. Their noses touched as he asked again with deep affection, while Luo Lingyu was still in a daze. His tone was unhurried yet carried a deadly, soul-stirring attraction from its depths. The candlelight flickered…
