    • HL CH202 [Arc 6] Cover
      by Aria — Meng Fushan followed Chen Jiashu and Chen Jiashu’s ever-present bodyguard, A-Bin, as they navigated the sea. This submarine cruise ship had departed from a port in Vietnam, stopping at several locations along the way, with the number of passengers increasing at each turn. Blue seawater swayed outside the glass windows at the base of the ship, and the ceiling lights flickered silently. The bright, clinical light shone down, adding a ghostly, stiff whiteness to the masks worn by everyone in the…

      HL CH187 Cover
      by Aria — Ji Xun didn't rush to leave. He turned back and, together with Huo Ranyin, began to carefully observe the Ananda statue. But sometimes, the more you care, the easier it is to exaggerate minor issues. Huo Ranyin, who had been carefully comparing Ananda to the other statues, overthrew his own previous theory. He rubbed his temples, seemingly trying to rub away the weariness of a sleepless night. "No, there’s nothing too special about it. It just looks brighter, likely because the sunlight outside…

      HL CH219 Cover
      by Aria — But how did Chen Jiahe end up here? Hidden deep within the trenches, both Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin were utterly bewildered. Almost instantly, however, a realization struck Ji Xun. He turned his head slightly backward. Because they were pressed so close together, he could feel Huo Ranyin's hair brushing softly against his cheek, and he found himself looking straight into the other man's eyes. In the dead of night, Huo Ranyin’s eyes gleamed faintly, much like a cat's. Without exchanging a single…

      HL CH251

      HL CH251 Cover
      by Aria — "Saying 'the killer is right among us' is far too much of an evasion of the critical issues, isn't it?" A boss present at the scene suddenly let out a cold sneer. "What do you mean?" Everyone looked toward the speaker. At this time, every person's statement carried a weight distinctly different from normal times. The boss who spoke was short in height—to put it politely. In fact, he visually appeared to be only a little over 1.5 meters tall; no matter when one looked at it, this height was somewhat…
    • HL CH292 [Extra] Cover
      by Aria — NSFW Chapter 292: Birthday Extra Dreams are false. Dreams are the opposite of reality. Huo Ranyin knew he was dreaming. He dreamt of his student days, back in high school. He was inside a classroom—an empty classroom devoid of people. It was dusk, and the light hovered between red and yellow, both bright and dim. Someone held him as he sat on his desk, his entire body trembling softly. That person blocked the light of the setting sun streaming through the window, dropping a wet kiss slick…

      HL CH166 Cover
      by Aria — This was an unknown number, but the tone was one Ji Xun was familiar with. “At 7:00 PM, near the Jingshan abandoned recycling station, a black Jetta.I will be trading a woman kidnapped this evening to the other party.Find a way to rescue her yourself, and do not alert the snake in the grass.Do not reply.” A photo was attached at the end of the text message.

      HL CH198 Cover
      by Aria — Just before the rain poured down in earnest, Ji Xun pulled Huo Ranyin into the residential complex where he lived. A thunderclap rumbled, and the rain followed closely at their heels, slanting down in a flurry, only to be blocked by the wrought-iron flower gate of the stairwell. The sensor light in the stairwell flickered on—a warm, orange glow—making the scene appear peaceful and serene amidst the sudden, heavy drumming of the downpour. "Good timing," Ji Xun said, glancing back at the outside…

      HL CH230 Cover
      by Aria — After emerging from his grandparents' house, Ji Xun headed first to the hospital. Apart from confirming some of his prior assumptions, this visit had brought a completely new question to his mind, which was the fundamental reason driving him to the hospital: Since Grandmother had never been to Fu Province, why did Grandfather have a photograph of himself holding an infant at the Fu Province pier? The probability of a male traveling alone with a small infant is extremely low. If it was for official…

      HL CH262

      HL CH262 Cover
      by Aria — "What's the situation now?" It was a tiny space—measuring less than six square meters in total. A single bed pushed against the wall, a desk running parallel to the bed against the opposite wall, and a sink standing upright at the head of the bed filled the cramped room to capacity. Naturally, the room had two doors: one led out to the corridor, while the other—sandwiched between the desk and the sink—led to the bathroom. The bathroom, however, was not private to this single room; it sat tucked…

      HL CH284.3 Cover
      by Aria — After counter-questioning three stories one by one, Yu Cisheng continued: "As for the diary... I admit, that matter was a worldly form of evil. That was a very shallow thing I did during my youth, before understanding more information and more of the world. It was an immature investment; I wanted to use that investment to create one of my works." Yu Cisheng engaged in self-reflection and self-criticism. Yet he immediately followed with: "However, that wasn't a prank. It was genuinely a form…
