The residence of the Second Madam of the Wei Manor was tenderly remarked as the Plum Fragrance Residence. That was simply a representation of the Second Madam’s love for plum blossoms, but also a slight towards her obsession towards them. Once stepping beyond the courtyard gates, what greeted the Third and Fifth Young Misses of Wei was a sea of …

For the rest of the morning after the officials had dispersed, Wei Xuan kneeled in the center of the Imperial Court, facing the golden throne with a blank stare. The searing numbness in his legs was not the biggest problem…but rather the chatty emperor sitting directly next to him. Relaxing in a lotus chair of sandalwood, the ruler of Great …

The speaker was a young woman, dressed in a plain purple robe one could find anywhere on the streets of Jiang’an.

Being called to attend to the same patient for the third time in half a month left Physician Gao brooding over a few questions.

“Ah!” Collapsing into a sore heap onto the ground for the fifth time, An Fei let out a pained cry.
