Futile Devices Scans

Only after deciding to leave together did Nalan Xuan realize that Feng Xuanzhe had neither acted on impulse nor been driven into desperate recklessness. Rather than saying he had been forced to begin rebuilding his power, it would be more accurate to say that he had been preparing for this for a long time. What…

Now that everything had reached this point, now that his memories had returned, scheming had once again become instinct and meticulous calculation had seeped back into his very bones. All of Nalan Xuan’s former confusion and bewilderment vanished like smoke. Why had Yelü Zhen been so shocked—even losing control of his emotions—when they first met…

From beginning to end, everything had gone so smoothly that it could hardly have been smoother, exactly as Nalan Xuan had originally anticipated. Through a series of “coincidences,” Nalan Xuan entered Prince Rong’s residence. For someone who had spent years struggling through the mire where power and desire collided, a bright, carefree personality untouched by…

Elio’s Notes: This is just a placeholder chapter. More to come soon! At four in the afternoon, Chen Zheng was the last to leave the conference room. As he passed through the deserted corridor, he suddenly stopped and looked at a case summary posted on the wall. A year earlier, the provincial capital of Luocheng…

Elio’s Notes: This is just like a placeholder chapter. More to come soon! Deep in the mountain wilderness, a group of people walked single file through the wild grass in complete silence. The two men at the head of the line were dressed as guards, steel sabers hanging at their waists. One of them also…

Speaking in riddles seemed to be an extremely common habit among cultivators. Qin Shu admitted that he was an extremely biased person. Even as he gradually noticed more and more things that seemed wrong about Pei Zhao, he would simply sidle over as though nothing had happened, gloss over them a little, observe them for…

The greatest feature of the Boundless Sea and Sky Forum was its entertainment-gossip section. Supposedly, it was famous enough that many celebrities visited regularly. Until now, however, there had never been a good opportunity to prove that claim. At last, an opportunity had arrived. At the Tears of a Man press conference, Zhang Jia Jia…

Xiao Bai knocked on the car window. Gao Qin lowered it. “Brother Gao, lend me some money.” Xiao Bai was panting from the run. Gao Qin looked at him, then at the man behind him, and slowly asked, “Is it for a lawsuit?” “……” “Huh?” Xiao Bai froze for two seconds before saying, “He’s only…

Xiao Bai was still lost in confusion when Gao Qin snapped his fingers and changed the subject. “Xiao Bai, the reason we asked you here today is for a movie press conference.” He paused. “I should have told you in advance, but your phone was off.” Anyone looking at Gao Qin’s expression right then would…

Sunday. Jia Zhi Qing went out to treat his reporter girlfriend to Love Malatang. Ever since he learned that Xiao Bai had once invited Yan Su Ang out for malatang, he had privately decided that malatang was noble in identity, exalted in status, and virtuous in character. The only thing low about it was its…

Feng Ya Lun’s situation had caused an enormous uproar not long ago, but once he actually left, the media immediately moved on. Reality was so merciless that it did not even give people time to reminisce about him. Only the Boundless Sea and Sky Forum was still making merry. There were all kinds of theories…

Gao Qin dragged his exhausted body home. After being shaken up by Feng Ya Lun, Ma Rui had refused to let him leave until he sat through another meeting that day—once again, a meeting attended by exactly two people. Throughout it, Ma Rui had repeatedly emphasized Feng Ya Lun’s importance to the company. By the…

The reporters sprang to their feet as though jolted awake, firing questions one after another like a string of firecrackers. After all, this was Feng Ya Lun’s first public appearance since the drunk-driving and police-assault incident. “Feng Ya Lun, did you really assault a police officer?” “Feng Ya Lun, do you think you’re still qualified…

Although Xiao Bai had no idea how thinking about an answer could turn someone into a bald donkey, he still conscientiously committed the standard answer firmly to memory. Jia Zhi Qing nervously adjusted his hair in front of the mirror. “What angle of my face do you guys think looks best on camera? My left…

Yimate had been going through a rough patch these past few days. Ma Rui sat in his office regretting his decisions so badly he could barely contain himself. If he had not wanted to make things difficult for Weijie and knock Yan Su Ang down a peg back then, he never would have signed Xiao…

If his heavily casted leg had not been propped across the reclined front passenger seat, Yan Su Ang’s entrance would have been extremely handsome. A luxury car, a handsome man, a gentle breeze, and a startled beauty. “Xiao Bai.” The corner of Yan Su Ang’s mouth lifted into the flawless smile most often seen on…

The sight before Fang Huan Xing was disgusting, and because he was starving, it somehow felt even more disgusting. Fang Huan Xing had no idea whether anyone else would understand. Just then, a soft cry came from the patient room behind him. Captain Xie and Xiao Huang had finished discussing what to do and gone…

Wen Yue patted Wen Ming on the back from behind. “All right. You’re too tense.” “Mm.” Wen Ming relaxed his muscles and only then realized that he had been holding on to Lan Xi for far too long. He couldn’t help saying, “If I don’t hold him… he’ll run.” “Where exactly can he run?” Wen…

South Island Deepwater Port looked even more festooned with flowers than it had a little over a week earlier when they first departed, while the sea breeze carried waves of coconut fragrance and the fresh scent of bluebells. Elio’s Notes: “The cicada sheds its shell” is a classic stratagem and idiom for escaping unnoticed by…

However, over the next several years, Xiaobei’s incredibly cool, swaggering “dad in uniform” only showed up at school a handful of times to help his son save face and make an impression. He did not come often. Elio’s Notes: 独守空房 literally means “to remain alone in an empty room” and traditionally describes someone left lonely…
