This will be a fan-fiction series based on the Long Live Summons universe.

I originally was going to make a different series first, but decided instead to make this series since most series on this site related to LLS don't have many chapters, the grammar is a bit lacking or isn't updated often.

But in any case, sit back, grab some popcorn and relax as we take another journey through the Soaring Dragon Continent.

It was deep into the night with the crescent moon towering high in the night sky. If you stand in the streets and listen carefully, you could hear the light snores as everyone rests in the comfort of their beds. Of course, there'll be few stragglers up late working or for reasons they will regret in the morning. 

It just happens that Alex is in the latter, staying up to finish the book he had gotten over the summer break. He just had a weird dream not too long ago and now Alex can't help but feel restless and irritated but yet not able to place his finger on why.

To calm his tornado of a mind, Alex quietly fished out the book he was reading during school out of his bag. After reading for less than an hour, Alex closed his book with a sigh, completely and utterly satisfied with the ending.

However, even with the satisfying ending and the good mood he is in, Alex turn and toss for 10 minutes straight, the restless and irritating feeling crept back into his mind. In the end, the bookworm gave up sleeping entirely and crawled over to his bookcase for a late night treat. Alex chose a book from the bottom shelf where he placed all his favourite books. In case the bookcase were ever to fall over, the books at the bottom would be the least damaged as the fall would be short with a low impact.

The moment Alex opened the book, he is, once again, absorbed inside the world hidden within the delicate pages. Despite the book Alex chosen he had a;ready read it millions of time, he still enjoys rereading the book time and time again. 

In the end, the hungry bookworm stayed up to 5 am enjoying his treat with only 2 hours left to sleep. When Alex finally closed his heavy eyelids, he felt he only closed his eyes for a second before he hears his alarm ringing. Groaning, Alex was about to throw the pillow but stopped himself in time. He didn't want a repeat of yesterday's accident to happen again.

Muddle headed, Alex attempted to get through his morning routine. His mom scolding him the moment she saw him, one glance and she already knew that her naughty son stayed up all-night reading.

Eventually Alex made it to school, the bus driver was close to driving away with Alex still in the bus but luckily he woke up in time and gave the bus driver a pleasant surprise.

Alex is now seated in his homeroom and tries to get more rest before class starts. He only put his head down for a second when he could hear a buzzing fly come through the door.

'Should've gone to the library instead,' Alex regrets his choices. However, there is no escape now. Might as well roll with it.

"Good morning, did you stay up late? You look tired," Sheridan greeted Alex.

"Mhm, yeah. Stayed up late reading," Alex honestly answered Sheridan.

"Was it that book from yesterday? Ah, I didn't get to read how Myrina makes her grant escape."

"She does, but it wasn't a good reunion…" Alex's voice starts to fade as he comes to a realization. Sheridan would only know the details of the book if A. he read the book beforehand and hadn't finished it yet, or B. he was also reading the book while Alex had it open. Alex gives Sheridan a side-eyed look. 

"... I got exposed haha," Sheridan gave a sheepish smile. "I was reading the book over your shoulder yesterday. I hope you don't mind." 

'I mind, I really do mind. My private space was invaded by you!' Alex complained in his mind. But on the outside he didn't show any emotion and simply said, "Not really."

"Nice, nice! Also, could you tell the book's name?"

Alex paused, then finally lifted his head to get a good look at Sheridan. The boy gave him a toothy grin as he waited for Alex to answer. 

'He still looks annoying, but the fact he likes books makes him slightly more bearable I guess,' Alex concluded in his mind. Alex is a simple bookworm afterall; one only needed to like books and he would automatically like that person.

Sheridan continues to give a silly smile, not knowing how Alex was silently judging him. Alex gave a small nod which confused Sheridan. 

"When Summer Ends," Alex said.

"Wait, from the Lochness series?" Sheridan asked, his eyes widen from shock. "Oh sh*t, I spoiled the series for myself now."

"Pfft," Alex quietly laughed to himself at Sheridan's idiotcy. Sheridan was too caught up in wallowing in regrets. Since the Lochness series was a mystery, it further increase Sheridan's regrets. The problem was that he was still in the first book in the series while When Summer Ends is a side story, it does contain some spoilers and best to be read after one finish the series.

"You could bang your head on the table until you forget the content of the book," Alex joked. He felt more comforablte with Sheridan knowing how silly he was and not of one of those people who chased poplarity.

A peaceful life where there no problems that can't be easily handled crop up. 

A quiet life with a library full of fascinating tales.

A simple life is all Alex wishes for.

However, after an accident, Alex keeps having strange dreams that leaves him puzzled and  perplex, yet a strange yearning in his heart.

What worse for Alex is the meeting of troublesome people, not giving Alex a chance to hole up in his room and read a book as long as he likes.

What even worse is that Alex's mom keeps kicking him out of the house, forcing him to hang out with his 'friends'.

Alex: Where did my quiet life go? QAQ

The young man wore a beige colored shirt, champagne gold tie, sunglasses, and earphones. Even with all these accessories, he still looked unequipped. He shook his hand on the steering wheel and smiled obsequiously, "If you like it, I can give them to you, what do you think?"
"Hmph! Who wants your gifts! Papa will buy it for me!" Bai Wu humphed and poked at the buttons on Xu Lan's shirt self-mindedly and said, "Right, Papa?"
Xu Lan wanted to say that he did not have the money. However, he still smiled and held that errant hand and said, "Yes."
"I knew that Papa would've promised me, I love you Papa," Bai Wu sat up happily and kissed Xu Lan between his eyebrows.
Since the last incident with Li Xiu, he developed a liking towards kissing the area between Xu Lan's eyebrows. 'Any other parts would probably be rough,' Xu Lan thought.
Xu Lan saw the young man had a shocked expression on his face from the rear-view mirror. He did not bother much and tapped on his shoulders to signal Bai Wu to sleep.
"Mr. Xu, do you like him?" The young man could not help but ask since Xu Lan did not give any explanation after some time.
"Who else will I like if I don't like my own son? Perhaps you?" Xu Lan lashed out without holding back. His expression showing a hint of frustration.
No one would believe that Bai Wu had the mentality of a three-year-old. Sometimes, even Xu Lan himself could not fathom it. However, all the facts had shown that he was just a child. One other possible factor could be that this was the normal intellect of the Dragon clan since he was the leader of his clan in the past.
"Uhm, Mr. Xu, I didn't mean that. I don't have any ill intentions. These things are very common in our country, it's even protected by the law," the bodyguard rushed to explain. He understood these things, it was just that he did not expect it to be this way.
Xu Lan rolled his eyes while he gently patted on Bai Wu's back to put him to sleep, ignoring the bodyguard who was driving.
The mountains outside the car window were covered in a layer of hoar frost and the yellowed leaves had withered. The evergreens at a distance were still standing upright, waiting to bathe in the spring breeze. The continuous stretch of mountains resembled cyan tidal waves that surged from afar.
"Are we reaching G city?"
"Hmm, it's one hour away," the young lad answered.
The bar in Lanshan area, One Street, was packed with people from the media including journalists, news reporters, and even the paparazzi joined in. They were waiting for the police to make a public announcement. The promise they made to protect the public's safety was met with brutal murders instead. If this continues, would the police force be of any use?
Both digital and print media were criticizing and condemning the police. A month had passed since the homicide case, but the killer was still on the loose. Not only that, he was becoming more rampant and started murdering those who volunteered to help in this case. How could the public still trust the police if this carried on? How could they live in peace?
Xu Lan went to the police station. Xiao Zhang was the person on duty for the day. He was shocked when Xu Lan walked in. He rushed out from his room and saw that Bai Wu and his bodyguard were following right behind him. He was so afraid that he went back into the room.
"Xu… Sergeant Xu, how can I help you?" Xiao Zhang asked fearfully.
Bai Wu's hotel incident had spread very quickly from mouth to mouth like wildfire. In addition, the whole place was a mess when everyone got there, and Li Xiu was severely hurt. Xu Lan looked at Xiao Zhang's reaction mockingly and knocked on the table top.
"Why is there no one here?"
"They are still in the Lanshan area. I heard that they can't come back because their car got blocked," Xiao Zhang felt uncomfortable under Xu Lan's gaze and answered him swiftly.
"Hmm, give me one of Sun Fei's number."
"Oh, okay. Hold on please," Xiao Zhang checked the directory immediately and copied out Sun Fei's number for Xu Lan.
At the moment, Xu Lan was at the entrance of One Street bar. He requested for a cigarette from the person beside him. After he finished smoking, he just crushed the cigarette bud on the wall, ignoring the searching glances from the surrounding crowd and lead Bai Wu towards the crime scene.
The crowd did not recognize Bai Wu, but it was difficult not to notice Xu Lan since his photos were broadcasted on the television repeatedly within these few days. It would be easy to deduce the identity of the young man he was holding hands with. However, why were they followed by a tall, handsome man?
"Xu… Sergeant Xu? How did you come here?" Xiao Li asked shockingly. He was ordered by Sun Fei to check on the situation outside, but was shocked to see Xu Lan and a grown-up Bai Wu when he lifted his head up.
"I walked over. What's the situation?"
Xiao Li closed his eyes and shook his head disappointingly. Looking at it, it was similar to past cases, where the killer was extremely careful and did not leave anything behind. Xu Lan handed Bai Wu over to the bodyguard and followed Xiao Li upstairs with the equipment.
The site of the crime was now at a hotel, which is different from the previous settings.
"Lao Xu, you're here!" Sun Fei kept a close watch on the hallway. When he saw that the first person was Xu Lan, he walked over and held his hand strongly.
Xu Lan tapped his arms and opened his mouth but he did not know what to say. He then continued to shake hands with everyone on the scene and arrived beside Hu Cheng at last.
"Director general, this is my case."
Hu Cheng gave Xu Lan a look and packed his tobacco pouch before leading him in. The 2.2 m bed was dyed bright right with fresh blood. The left breast was sliced off neatly and the private part was sewn shut. The cause of death was due to excessive bleeding. Wu Wendi was able to draw a series of numbers on the wall even though her hands were tied together.
01001001 - there was a small gap between the numbers, which could be read as 0100/1001.
"Except for a series of numbers, there's no clue at all. All of the surrounding surveillance were destroyed," Hu Cheng used two sentences to summarize the worst-case scenario.
"Who asked her out?"
Hu Cheng shook his head. He felt a little relieved after meeting Xu Lan. He wanted to tell the child's mother that he could finally recognize his son. All these years of waiting had finally paid off.
"What about Sun Fei? Did she tell you who she met last night?" Xu Lan continued asking.
"At first, she was with Li Xiu. They were gone after I dozed off. She then texted me that they were meeting Big Boss Liu. I advised her not to come over last night because all of us were too tired busy dealing with assignments, but she did not listen to me. Then, she was gone just like that!"
Sun Fei blamed himself because Hu Cheng had given him this case, and he even reminded him before leaving. However, it was too late to say anything!
"Li Xiu was there? Big Boss Liu?" Xu Lan could not figure out and asked, "Where's her cell phone?"
"Her cell phone is missing too. The killer could have taken it," Sun Fei said.
Xu Lan nodded his head to indicate that he understood. He went around the huge bed and focused his vision on that series of numbers. This was definitely left behind after the killer left. The killer was too clever to make such rudimentary mistakes.
He felt waves of trepidation and sympathy when he thought of Wu Wendi trying to write these characters under such tremendous pain. What a fine woman…
What did the series of numbers represent? Xu Lan paced back and forth in the room and recalled the likings and habits of Wu Wendi.


A young boy named Bai Wu was saved and adopted by a thirty-something police sergeant named Xu Lan. It was love at first sight for Bai Wu, and once he started getting older, his heart yearned for a taste of the forbidden fruit - the romantic love of his adoptive father. The question is, will Xu Lan ever reciprocate? With deranged serial killers, parallel dimensions, time warps, dragons, and a bit of ancient black magic, Bai Wu and Xu Lan are caught in a series of crazy adventures while discovering what they truly mean to each other. This is a story of lust and madness!

When Jenny woke up, she found the courage to tell Layla and Kai Xin what actually happened on the day of accident. 

While the rest were having dinner with the occupants of the orphanage, Layla took the opportunity to call Inspector Ding, the inspector in charge of the case to come over to record the statement.

They locked themselves in Jenny's room so that they could have some privacy.

With Layla and Kai Xin there for the moral support, Jenny started talking.

"Mum had followed the traffic rules. She would never speed or jumped the traffic lights when I am in the car..."

Similarly, on the day of the accident, she had been driving carefully. 

"I remember seeing the lights turned green right after a car passed by us. Mum started to drive out of the intersection when another car came out of nowhere and bumped us..."

Jenny frowned as she recalled back, "...i screamed so hard when the car went spinning..." 

"I saw him," said Jenny. She was badly injured when the car landed upside down but she recalled being conscious and crying for her mother. 

Clenching the bottom of her dress, she bit her lower lips for a while before continuing, 

"He came down to check on the car, and..I-I think he didn't see me in the backseat. I heard him talking to someone."

She took a deep breath as tears started to well up again, "He said that he made a minor boo-boo and told the person to send over a car and to settle it as soon as possible."

Layla and Kai Xin exchanged glances before the former pulled out a series of photo depicting different but similar looking men and placed it in front of Jenny, 

"Do you recognize him from here?" asked Layla. 

Jenny nodded and pointed to the photo of a blonde young man, "It's him. I recognize him..."  

Pointing to her left temple, she said, "He was bleeding here. I think he was cut by the glasses."

Turning to Kai Xin, she asked, "D-Did I do well?"

Kai Xin nodded and patted her head, "You did great. We will get definitely get him."

Layla smiled and said, "Kai Xin, can you bring Jenny out first? I need to have a talk with Inspector Ding."

Kai Xin looked at the inspector before she pushed Jenny out of the room. 

Once the door was closed, Layla turned to face the inspector.

With a poker face and her legs crossed, she said bluntly, "I believe that the people from the Liu Family have given you a visit."

Inspector Ding gulped as he thought worriedly, "How could she have known? She wasn't back in country yet."

Glancing at his expression, she chuckled softly, "You must have wondered how I know since I just got back to the country."

Pulling out her phone, she sent a series of photos to the man sitting opposite her. 

The photos showed the meeting between the man and the secretary of the patriarch of Liu Family, and one of the photos showed him receiving a suspiciously thick envelope.

He stammered as he went through the photos, "T-that w-was not money..." 

Layla glared at him, "I did not say that it was money."

Wide eyed with fear of his reputation being destroyed, he asked fearfully, "W-What do you want?"

Layla looked at the pathetic man in front of him, "I want you to keep what you find out today a secret until I call you as witnesses."

"I-I..."

"I can end your entire career faster than the Liu Family," threatened Layla. 

She knew that reputation meant everything for this kind of man.

Layla pressed on, "With what happened to Shangguan Re Dong, I'm sure the people would like to clean up the legal force. "

"I can't go against the Liu Family."

"And you think you can go against the Rong Family?"

Inspector Ding wiped away his sweat as he thought hard. There was no way out of this! 

Layla felt bad for the man who was sweating like a pig and she offered him  a way out, 

"Find an excuse to hand this case and the investigation over to Inspector Yu Jian Hao."

When Inspector Ding heard that, he agreed immediately. 

As long as he did not have to deal with either the Liu or the Rong, he would be glad to handover anything.

Before he left, Layla warned him, "Inspector Ding, the truth will always prevail."

With a frown, she said, "I don't think it would be comfortable to sleep on the couch."

"I thought you have a bed here?" asked DX.

"I do but it's a single-size bed." 

With a mischievous glint in his eyes, he smirked, "We can share." 

Pretending to be affronted, Kai Xin scoffed, "President Du! Behave yourself! Did I say that you can share MY bed?"

 This was a mechanical effect. understanding the frequency of an item, you could destroy an entire object by outputting a small amount of force at the correct frequency. 
 Tesla had once used this principle to create a small earthquake in New York. This verified the terror of the Tesla Effect. The earthquake had terrified the nearby civilians such that they thought the apocalypse was coming. (TN: MythBusters busted this myth, so don't take this as fact.)
 Of course, Wei Xiao Bei wasn't sure how much this skill had to do with the Tesla Effect. After all, that was science and the power he possessed might be beyond science.
 Wei Xiao Bei could easily shatter a boulder that was ten or thirty-meters tall, let alone this three-meter large boulder!
 This alone improved Wei Xiao Bei's power by an immeasurable degree.
 Of course, Wei Xiao Bei first had to familiarize himself with his new-found power. After all, a moving enemy in battle was a completely different thing to an unmoving rock.
 There was no doubt that [Bajiquan]'s improvement to a higher level had made Wei Xiao Bei overjoyed.
 However, what made him even happier was the fact that his creature rank had finally increased again!
 Name: Wei Xiao Bei
 Race: Human
 Gender: Male
 Age: 21
 Creature Rank: 4-Star (Characteristic: Law Series) Note: Highest rank in 4-Star creatures is Disaster!
 ....
 Four-Star!
 Wei Xiao Bei couldn't help but exclaim in his mind. He had been stuck for a relatively long time at 3-Star Terror.
 Now, he had finally gotten what he wanted. Wei Xiao Bei felt inexplicably relaxed upon advancing to 4-Star. An indescribable sensation of excitement rose in his heart.
 It was now that Wei Xiao Bei truly understood what was required to break past 3-Star Terror to reach 4-Star. It did not demand pure accumulation of attributes, but the increase of a certain aspect to a higher level.
 The Skeleton Bird was the best example. 
 Apart from [Life Steal], the Skeleton Bird was not exceptional in any of its abilities or attributes. In certain environments, it might not even be a match to a 3-Star monster.
 However, [Life Steal] alone allowed it to become a 4-Star monster.
 Also, the Young Ba Serpent had probably reached 4-Star due to its bloodline. It was the same for the Citizen of Long Bo.
 If that was the case, then the 4-Star generals subordinate to Zhao Yun had all probably had one of their skills reach an extremely high level.
 Of course, this wasn't to say that pure accumulation of attributes couldn't push an individual to 4-Star.
 Rather, doing so would probably require an astronomical investment of evolution points in attributes.
 Wei Xiao Bei relaxed for a moment before returning his attention to the status panel and focusing it on the changes that had occurred after his advancement to 4-Star.
 Compared to 3-Star Terror, Wei Xiao Bei felt a series of changes happening to him upon reaching 4-Star. The most obvious was the change to his mental strength.
 His ability to sense the breathing of non-living objects from earlier was one example. Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei could feel his mind become more focused and concentrated.
 It was a change that was hard to describe.
 More plainly put, Wei Xiao Bei felt as if his mental power was starting to solidify.
 If he activated [Response Search], his consciousness could have material sensations within the radius of the skill.
 For example, Wei Xiao Bei's consciousness could feel the temperature and texture of a stone that was a hundred meters away from him. It felt as if his body itself was touching the stone.
 Of course, that was all for now. His mental powers were not at the level where he could flip the stone.
 After experiencing these changes, Wei Xiao Bei focused his attention on the description behind his rank.
 Creature Rank: 4-Star (Characteristic: Law Series) Note: Highest rank in 4-Star creatures is Disaster!
 Wei Xiao Bei's Characteristic had changed after reaching 4-Star. 
 Law Series?
 Law Series: Conduct disruptive attacks against weaker opponents through the soul, with a powerful soul as the basis of the attacks. This provides the user with a series of Command effects (Death, Dominate, Intimidate, Blind, Silence).
 Mm, the description was already very detailed.
 So that was what it was. All of the doubts Wei Xiao Bei had about [Law Intimidation] in the past were instantly answered when he saw the explanation of this [Law Series].
 No wonder his spirit would always become weak after he used [Law Intimidation].
 Consequently, Wei Xiao Bei rarely ever used [Law Intimidation] and [Law Blinding] when he could resolve the problem with his ability.
 After all, even though these Law effects could easily deal with 2-Star creatures, they were somewhat useless given Wei Xiao Bei's power.
 It was now that Wei Xiao Bei understood that the Law abilities were unleashed through the power of the soul.
 Of course, Wei Xiao Bei still had not figured out what this power was exactly. However, this didn't stop him from exploring the effects of this improved [Law Series].
 A magpie that had flown to a branch and started singing barely got two notes out when it heard a voice.
"Silence!"
 The magpie was shocked to find that it could no longer sing with its merry voice.
 Wei Xiao Bei looked at the bird that had turned to fly and thought for a moment. He then turned to a sparrow on the other side and simply thought in his mind, "Blind!"
 The sparrow that had been hopping about the grass vigorously to look for seeds immediately fell to the ground. It then started beating its wings wildly and running frantically.
 Fortunately, the Law abilities that Wei Xiao Bei used were now easier to control.
 Both the magpie and the sparrow would recover to normal after a while.
 After a series of tests, Wei Xiao Bei had a basic grasp over the effects of this [Law Series].
 Compared to the [Law Intimidation] and [Law Blinding] of the past, the [Law Series] now appeared to have more freedom and allowed for more control. When Wei Xiao Bei used its command effects, they were more accurate and therefore, required consumed less energy.
 More crucially, even if Wei Xiao Bei didn't speak, he could secretly activate this ability in his mind.
 This way, the [Law Series] becomes a lot more convenient in situations where it wasn't appropriate for him to expose his powers.
 In his own words, this skill was good for dark dealings, things like assassination and robbery.
 It was only fine for him to throw his weight about recklessly in the Dust World. If Wei Xiao Bei started killing everything in the real world, his peaceful life would be disrupted in a matter of days.
 It was much more convenient now. With the [Law Series], he could silently accomplish a lot more things.
 Wei Xiao Bei had intended to improve [Shooting] and then sacrifice it to improve [Electrical Work]. However, he never expected it to be hurt so much after his first sacrifice. Even focusing to improve his perception sub-attribute hurt his head incredibly, let alone sacrificing another ability.
 It seemed like he would have to wait a while until the side-effects of the [Sacrifice] had faded before he could attempt the next sacrifice.
 After familiarizing himself with the [Law Series], Wei Xiao Bei took out the thirty-four Pedestal Fragments of the Fountain of Youth from his storage bracelet.
 Wei Xiao Bei already wanted to merge the fragments in the Dust World, he was just afraid of being discovered.
 There was no one around right now, making it just the right time to do it.
 He took out all thirty-four fragments and placed them on a smooth piece of rock.
 These fragments were like the finest of jade. Every piece might be of a different size, but they were so green that it drew your eyes toward them.
 Wei Xiao Bei had no information or reference for the merging of these fragments. As such, he could only try to piece them together like a puzzle.
 It was unclear if it was some sort of disruptive ability inherent to the fragments or the original severity of its damage, but the edges of the fragments were incredibly complex. Just finding two matching edges took Wei Xiao Bei a long time, even after activating [Deductive Reasoning].
 Fortunately, Wei Xiao Bei did manage to find two matching pieces in the end. As he put the two fragments together, a green circle of light rushed one meter into the air along the broken edge. It was shockingly bright.
 If Wei Xiao Bei hadn't had his eyes closed out of habit, this sudden burst of light would have rendered him temporarily blind.
 Even so, Wei Xiao Bei could still see the bright green sun before him through his eyelids.
 Once the green light faded, the fragments had merged into a single piece and the original crack was completely gone, smooth as ceramic.
 Wei Xiao Bei opened his eyes and looked. The status panel of the fragment appeared before his eyes.
 Name: Pedestal Fragment of the Fountain of Youth (Severely damaged, Immortal Quality)
 Introduction: This item is a fragment formed after the pedestal of the Fountain of Youth was shattered. It can produce Lesser Spring Water of Youth.
 Effect 1: Produces Lesser Spring Water of Youth. Can produce three drops of Spring Water per day.
 Effect 2: Merge. This item can merge with other Pedestal Fragments of the Fountain of Youth.
 .....
 This fragment was formed of two smaller fragments that could each produce one drop of Lesser Spring Water per day.
 However, upon merging, its effects became producing three drops of Lesser Spring Water per day.
 Of course, some of the fragments here could produce three drops of Lesser Spring Water per day as well. They were about the same size as this fragment.
 It seemed like merging was indeed effective.
 This wasn't the end of it. Wei Xiao Bei closed his eyes and started searching for fragments whose edges lined up.
 He had to close his eyes. Otherwise, the various status panels that appeared just from looking at the fragments would be enough to disrupt him and keep him from finishing his work.
 After spending half an hour, the second piece that matched the first two was finally found.
 Wei Xiao Bei put it together with the earlier fragments and another circle of green light shot into the air.
 The green light that appeared this time was much stronger than before and rushed two meters into the air.
 Wei Xiao Bei did not waste any time. He looked at the status of the merged fragment. Just like before, this fragment produced increased Lesser Spring Water after merging a new fragment. Moreover, the total amount of Spring Water produced was more than the total amount of three fragments added together.


One day, Wei Xiao Bei gets dragged into The Dust World, a post-apocalyptic world ruled by monsters from myths, legends, games, etc. He also gains the power to travel between it and the real world, as well as the power called the 'Status Panel'. With this power, he chooses to strengthen himself to explore the vast mysteries and terror of the other world. What mysteries await him? What is The Dust World?
Author's Synopsis:
What the hell is this? What the hell happened here?
How did my room become so ruined after a single night?
The floor and table were covered in dust, his new poster of Zhang Liang Ying that had just been posted on the wall a few days ago had already become yellow and tattered all over. Even Zhang Liang Ying’s beautiful face became monstrous as if an old devil was looking at him with a terrifying smile.
The walls were covered by a mist of cobwebs and the fruits placed on top of the coffee table were withered and rotted to the point that the mold on them had turned black. The fruits below even seemed to have turned into mush. The aluminium framed window that the landlord had just installed not that long ago was now covered in a layer of white ash and the glass was filled with cracks and covered in dust.
The computer beside his bed was also covered by cobwebs and was accompanied by an empty water glass with a withered worm inside of it.
Dust filled the air making Wei Xiao Bei choke as he tried to breathe.
Everything seemed to be ash gray without any light as if looking at television static.
After just one night, it seemed like everything in the room had aged for centuries or even millennia.
Mother… is this a dream?
This must be a dream!

A series of investigations happened; authorities found out more about Wu Yanmei's whereabouts before the incident. She was seen selling her body to some rich club. While at it, she was spotted going around her friends. Almost all the people in her batch had been visited by Wu Yanmei without them knowing. Wen Donghai wasn't an exception.

But in Wen Donghai's case, Wu Yanmei was spotted more frequently going to his house. One CCTV from the house in front of Wen Donghai saw Wu Yanmei entering the premises and didn't go out since then. When analyzing happenings, Wen Donghai arrived next. But afterward, as if nothing happened, Wen Donghai came out to have some fun with his friends. 

This concludes that Wen Donghai wasn't that innocent in this case nor was able to prove that he was oblivious to the situation. They also saw Wu Yanmei didn't come out of the villa and still alive at that time. Until, one camera in line to the time of the corpse time of death, a CCTV at the second floor from the neighbor spotted a blurred person throwing something, carefully, on the pool.

It wasn't clear if it was Wu Yanmei and the state her corpse was in, that could possibly say how did the corpse just come afloat right at this moment. Now the question was that, did Wen Donghai ordered someone to do this or did he get framed?

What they didn't expect while watching the video recording was that the person who throws 'Wu Yanmei' to the pool seemed to spot the CCTV camera and gestured as if he would kill the person who would watch this video recording. After gesturing, he left the villa of Wen Donghai as nothing happened.

This didn't clear the accusations against Wen Donghai and it seemed like the person who killed Wu Yanmei had been observing the neighborhood for quite a long time, if not lived there long enough to know the neighborhood this clear. Therefore, for safety, the authorities put more men around the neighborhood, in case this was a serial murderer.

As for Wen Donghai, authorities had no choice but to call him again for questioning…

Upon arriving, Wen Donghai was isolated in a room with 2 policemen. He was then given an explanation of the recent findings.

"…This doesn't really clear your innocence." (Police 1)

Wen Donghai couldn't help but wipe his face in stress. "…Before I was thinking that my house was just being used by a serial murderer but now it looks like I'm being framed."

"Woah, that's a heavy accusation, Sir Wen." (Police 2)

"But isn't that what's happening right now?" Wen Donghai ranted, "You can't find any direct relation to me murdering or ordering someone to kill Yanmei. A murder happened and I didn't know anything about it. All my schedule was about having fun at night and working in the mornings. What time do you expect me to kill Wu Yanmei when I was also pleaded by her parents, before they died, to search for her?!"

"That's…" Both of the policemen couldn't help but look at each other.

The Chief suddenly came inside. He joined the awkward atmosphere. After staring at Wen Donghai, he compromised. "What do you think about this case, Sir Wen?"

Laying back on the seat, he closed his eyes, remembering all the happenings within the past few weeks. 

"It… started before the fall of Wu's…"

The authorities listened carefully to his story. It seemed that Wu Yanmei seeks help from Wen Donghai. He declined but since it was about companies, he feared that someone was attacking random companies and maybe a big-shot too. Forced to investigate, he found out about the relation to one of Michaela Yu's friends, Alexander Mo.

He thought that it was just a simple attack among companies. But thinking about Wu Yanmei as Michaela's friends, it didn't make sense. Looking back to think about the situation, his gifts never failed to be sent every day. Wu Yanmei used to be ignorant about it, but she found it out. She seemed to be threatened by his affections to Michaela Yu. He was asked once by Wu Yanmei if I was the father of Michaela's child, but he didn't answer.

"…The world of power and wealth are confusing. I dare not to assume anything. That's all I know…" He sighed afterward as if relief that he said something that's been bothering him all along.

The authorities looked at each other. After seeing that Wen Donghai didn't seem to lie, they nodded to each other. The chief then stood up and handshake with Wen Donghai "Thank you for your cooperation, Sir Wen. We will update you when we have more evidence. You can go back today."

"Thank you, officer." Wen Donghai walked out of the room and went back to his hotel room.

He was a bit traumatized about the happenings. Added the fact that his villa was shut down, he couldn't bear to come back and sleep peacefully there. Wen Donghai sighed in relief like a thorn was just pulled out of his neck. 

'Now, I don't have to be afraid anymore... Just...' (I wish not to be guilty of anything) He closed his eyes to sleep. 

Days after that…

It was a fine day to walk around, Isabella was supporting Michaela Yu. Watching nature's beauty, the blooming of the recently constructed garden. Michaela Yu asked Isabella to lead her to the pond, where lotuses bloomed.

They were about to pass the garden when three police authorities approached them in the grim face. Michaela looked at then unhappy. Isabella went in front to protect the pregnant Michaela.

"Is there something you want?" Isabella asked politely.

One police hand over a piece of paper, "We have the approval of inviting Miss Michaela for interrogation."

Both Michaela and Isabella was shocked. Isabella felt wronged and rebuttal, "On what case should we be liable for interrogation?"

"The Murder Case of Miss Wu Yanmei." (Police 2)

"Eh?" Michaela and Isabella reacted simultaneously.

"Haven't you heard of the death of Miss Wu Yanmei?" (Police 3)

"We haven't" Isabella answered for them.

Police 1 seemed to be uninterested in their reaction, he just wanted to get over this job given to them. "In any case, Miss Michaela was suspected of indirect murder of Miss Wu Yanmei."

Angry, Isabella declared. "Milady is pregnant. You can't force a pregnant lady to be interrogated. The doctor said stress will cause miscarriage. We will call our lawyer to answer your accusations."

The two policemen understood this, but Police 1 was stubborn and arrogant. He didn't want any failure record to stain his name. "Aren't you being too arrogant? Just because you're rich, you can be excused in the law?" Police 1 pulled Michaela's hands, "You're coming with us!"

The two policemen hurriedly grabbed Police 1. Michaela was being dragged by Police 1, Isabella did her best to support Michaela. Irritated, Michaela was about to say something but…

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

Mommy said when she gave birth to me, it was her life-saving moment. I know people tend to think a mother and a father would embrace each other to create me, the baby. However, I only had a mother and she only had me. Nevertheless, being known as an intelligent young child was a bad idea.  So I’ll merely pretend to be like the other kids and go with the flow for Mommy.  *future actor right there*

The relatives of grandpa were bad.
The sissy guy was bad.
The suitor was in fact a bad guy but was well-hidden.
The self-proclaimed ‘best friend’ of Mommy was bad.
Mommy's biological father was an evil incarnate... 

Yup, everything was bad.

There was practically nobody near Mommy who was genuinely good to her from the bottom of their hearts. 


Baby: Hey! Could you accompany my Mommy?
Guy: Uhh…
Baby: You’re splendid enough for her!
Guy: Ummm…
Baby: Please? Pretty please? If not I can compensate you!
Guy: Errr…
Mom: JAZZ!!! If you continue bothering him I’ll never prepare food for you again!
*Guy hugs Mom*
Guy: *Whisper to Mom* If you agree, I won’t mind.
*Mom blushes*
Baby: I knew I am the greatest! Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

"She saved me from hell." Luo Jingyi whispered with a smile full of gratefulness towards Madam Lacroix.
'What kind of hell?' He meant to ask but it never slipped past his lips seeing that she was staring blankly like her mind was millions away. It was pointless to prod any longer. He reminded himself that patience was the driving force behind his success. Thus, he will apply the same concept to her. There's no secret in this world that he wouldn't find. Yet, he desired her to open about herself at her own accord.
Luo Jingyi was thinking back the day she came to this world and was in brief contemplation if he should tell him or not. In the end, her inner self decided against it, reminding her there was no reason for him to know.
From the side view mirror, she noticed the two cars following in succession ever since they left the hospital.
"Don't mind them. They're my security detail."
This information solidified her conjecture. Moreover, she has seen Aunt Alice's surprised expression earlier upon the man's announcement before the other woman tucked it away. It indicated she recognized him. Perhaps they belong to the same social circle. Ignoring the uneasy feeling that gnawed in her stomach, she closed her eyes and shut her head from doing all the thinking. It was easy to find it out yet laziness was pulling her back from doing so.
"We're here." Yun Jinghan announced when he parked the car right in front of an upscale jewelry store downtown.
"What are we doing here?" It was the first question that popped out of her mouth when she saw where they were.
"Buying props."
"We didn't have to." she protested after gleaning on what he meant. In fact, there was no need for a ring because it's only Alice and Antoine Lacroix who would know him as her 'fiancé.'
"How could there be an engagement without any ring?" he retorted before jumping out of the car.
Yun Jinghan got her there. So albeit the reluctance, Luo Jingyi got off the car without waiting for him to open the door for her, making the man shake his head in amusement.
Yun Jinghan called K2 who was sitting in another car that was stationed three buildings away from where he was standing. He ordered them to leave which K2 accepted without muttering words of protests. But unknown to Yun Jinghan, K2 immediately called the store manager and informed him to keep his eyes open. When the manager heard of this, he ran out of his office and went downstairs.
Meanwhile, two store attendants were at the door and greeted them in unison. The bright lighting and gleaming locked glass display cases were the first things she noted upon entry. One attendant ushered them inside a private room whilst the other served refreshments. The two moved in tandem like they had done it a hundred times. The establishment live with its reputation as the best jewelry brands in the country for the employees have the utmost professional grace in them. Even their steps were measured and their gestures were courteous. Unlike other places, where attendants were too bias. They'll judge your buying power according to how you appear on the surface.
Noting that she was quietly observing around without being too obvious, he took the glass of juice and handed it to her. The passing was done swiftly yet when his fingers brushed hers, she felt a jolt inside. Ignoring it, she sipped slowly and allowed the coolness of the drink to soothe her suddenly dry throat.
"I want to see the Charlotte series." Yun Jinghan told the attendant who was waiting patiently on the side.
"I am sorry sir. That is only possible for—" She wanted to say that only the store's VIP customers were privileged to buy this limited collection, however, the sudden pain coming from below closed her mouth shut and winced inwardly without letting the other people in the room feel it. Her wide smile never faded.
"I am sorry. My staff is still new here, Mr. Yun." It was her manager who spoke apologetically. He was the same person who stepped on her foot seconds earlier. The manager gestured her to leave in haste to take what Yun Jinghan requested.
The word "Mr. Yun" scared her out of her wits and she tarried at once. At the same time, thoughts were rushing out her head. With her manager's respect towards the man, it's possible that he's one of the heirs of the Yun Empire.
The woman returned with an expensive-looking velvet case. In her last life, there's no jewelry that she hadn't try so she eyed the box with disinterest. When it was opened the shimmer and glitter of the jewelry blinded her that in her imagination, she placed an arm over her eyes.
"Take a pick." He had a ring in mind but he was giving her the freedom to choose.
Luo Jingyi scanned the contents but all gave her a bland feeling. There was no lure.
Normally, if one goes shopping and spots an item that the heart couldn't let go or put down meant buying it regardless of the price tag.
None of the five rings gave her this feeling. Not that they were gaudy or dull but rather, they were too eye-catching to the point of being dramatic. The monstrosity of the diamond resting on one's finger would draw too much attention.
"Do you have a simpler one?" She asked the store manager. If the man preferred a low-key car, she wanted the ring to be one as well. Plus, there was no need to splurge on something that she would unlikely wear all the time.
The other man was stunned. There were many female customers clamoring to view and buy from these series but only selected few were chosen. Moreover, women preferred these types. The bigger the diamond was, the better.
The manager quietly reverted his gaze to his boss and pitied him. 'He must be having a hard time now. Money can't even interest the woman who caught his finicky eyes.'
The chat group of all of Yun Jinghan's guards exploded when Amy told everyone that their boss was staying in the city for the meantime because of a woman without divulging any other information. It meant as a warning to everyone. Yet the guys were too curious and interrogated K5 who had been driving their boss around the city. Voilà, in seconds they knew of her name, job, and workplace.
'Don't worry boss. I'll help you.'
"Give me a minute." He politely excused himself out of the room.
The manager returned later with a small red velvety case. He carefully placed it on Yun Jinghan's palm. Without retracting his gaze on her, he lifted the ring box open.
A sleek band was revealed in front of everyone. Unlike the ones shown earlier with gigantic diamonds, this one has a small round cut set on its claw prongs. She instantly like the ring's simplicity.
"How about this Miss—ma'am?" He imagined he hit his head for making a slip. The r
"I like it." Luo Jingyi murmured.


….

I will never clip my wings for a man. 
I will never bow down to anyone. 
I, Jingyi will rise from the graves to take back what's mine. 

....
“You can never be anyone’s. Only Mine.”
....

Jealousy and greed pushed Qin Jingyi’s family to the cusp of death. Desperate to flee from her captors, Qin Jingyi threw herself at sea. 
As the flurry of rain pattered on her dying body, she cursed the heavens for her fate. Perhaps the gods pitied her that when she opened her eyes again, she finds herself in the modern times, in the body of Luo Jingyi. 
With a second life granted to her, which path will she tread on? 
Especially that the similarity of this world to her previous, is very uncanny. With scheming bitches and all their entourage on her tails, will history repeat itself? 
Or will she, Jingyi finally stand at the pinnacle's edge as a victor? 

*
With his dimpled grins, Yun Jinghan can make anyone's heart melt. But no one knows, his carefree countenance is nothing but an outer shell. Beneath the facade is a devil in disguise. A wolf in sheep's clothing. 
Unknown to the world, he's the powerful man behind the giant, Terra Firma Corporation. He crushes businesses like ants and kills enemies with one decisive move. He is truly, a certified villain in the business world. 

His heart belonged to none. Not until he meets Luo Jingyi. 

Eight years since coming to the present world, Jingyi had lived her life quietly. She has built her reputation as one of the best trauma and cardiothoracic surgeon in the country. 
She’s a perfectionist and driven to succeed. At the same time, she avoids emotional entanglement with other people. 

Her not so complicated life decidedly turned less so when she gets entangled with a shameless devil who wouldn't take no for an answer. The dashingly handsome billionaire became her instant fiancé. 

What kind of love story do you think will unfold between the two? 

Will Yun Jinghan be able to warm her heart that has been frozen because of her past? 
On top of that, with enemies lurking at every corner, will they defy odds to walk down the aisle of happy ever after? 


Jump in and brace yourselves because their love story's going to rock your world.

With a moneygrabber’s insistence, Qin Guan brought the price down from 800 yuan to 200 yuan each.
     
       Qin Guan's unkind fellow townsman smiled to himself as Qin Guan was about to leave the counter with his trophies. 
The fake frames that cost 50 yuan to buy in South China could be easily sold for 200 yuan. The buyer looked very satisfied. It was the greatest pleasure to cheat an acquaintance. 
(Readers with glasses might have had a similar experience. Glasses were horribly expensive during one particular period.)
Peace didn't last for long. Suddenly, the sellers in the market became nervous. Several staff members in uniforms were running along the paths between the shops with briefcases under their arms. They were like a storm sweeping through the market. 
"Hurry! They are looking for fakes! Hide them quickly!" 
"Run! Run! Run to the stock room with the fakes!"
Several sellers who put fakes openly on their stands hastened to hide them.
       The young man closed the case immediately and tried to hide it under the counter.
"Hey! You! What are you trying to hide? Take it out! And you, the young man! Did you buy anything from this stand?" A staff member with sharp eyes had spotted them.
Qin Guan held his stretched foot back, acting nonchalant. "Nothing. I just greeted my fellow townsman."
The staff member came over uncertainly and knocked on the counter impatiently. "Take it out quickly. I saw it!"
The woebegone young man pulled the case out and opened it before the man’s eyes.
"Who said that there were no fakes here? I just found some. And you! Don't leave. What did you buy from him? Those men sell fakes because customers like you buy them. Tell me, how much had you ordered?" 
He had mistaken Qin Guan for a peddler purchasing stock there. Qin Guan breathed out in relief. Putting on the most innocent smile he could manage, he told the staff member, "I’m not a peddler, just a student at the nearby college."
The man was dazzled by his shining smile. He unconsciously tried to block the nonexistent light before his eyes before sighing. "Young man, you might not be a peddler, but you still shouldn't be buying fakes. Besides, you are a student at a famous college. Why are you deliberately breaking the law?"
Qin Guan's smile became even more splendid. Putting on the fake glasses, he went on shamelessly, "You have misunderstood. How could I associate with a criminal? I’m here to buy some daily use products. When I was passing by his shop, the young man here said my glasses were quite fashionable. He chatted with me out of professional curiosity. I didn't buy anything from him." 
The young man was weeping to himself as he looked at his confiscated case. "Liar! Liar! Don't believe him! Look at his glasses carefully. He bought them from me! Don't be fooled by his handsome face!" 
The official was nearly convinced by Qin Guan, but he added seriously, "To be honest, I’m also a part-time model. You often have to deal with famous brand fakes. You have to pay attention to the fashion trends. I have appeared in many fashion magazines." 
The official believed Qin Guan, who was even more dazzling without the glasses. He waved the fake glasses before the young man, looked at the number of the shop, and made a final note. "How could you try to sell fakes to such a handsome young man? Stop dreaming! Come pay your fine at my office tomorrow!"
Then he caught up with his workmates, holding his war trophies.
The young man almost choked from sobbing. I had just made several hundred yuan! Why are the gods treating me so unfairly?
Qin Guan bowed his head in regret and ran away from the market, leaving the sad young man behind him.
Despite his roommates’ opinion about his unreasonable style, Sister Xue was satisfied with him. He is preparing for the possibility of becoming famous! I’m so happy!
At the LEE headquarters, the editor of Rayli magazine and Sister Xue were watching the director of the Advertising Department, who was scanning Qin Guan from head to toe. After a long time, he nodded in approval.
They were all relieved. Qin Guan got his first advertisement without advocacy. Sister Xue was over the moon about the dollars going into her account.
Qin Guan could earn foreign currency now. This would pave his way to the international stage. He sighed as he saw the money Sister Xue gave him. The salary for a few photos was more than five times the payment for his last T show. The money had exceeded his expectations.
      Qin Guan arrived at the studio accompanied by LEE staff. He had been told that he would cooperate with an American model called John. They would promote the classic LEE style, including worker jumpsuits and jeans with typical ‘LAZYS’ Z series stitches.
It was the first time LEE had chosen an Asian model for its formal advertising campaign since its formal launch in Asia in 1995.
The general manager in Asia looked to further expand in the Chinese market. Japan and South Korea hadn't been treated the same way.
Qin Guan considered himself lucky and just wanted to do a good job. (Actually, he was just after the money.) 
In the studio, Qin Guan was shocked by how much LEE had spent on the background. They had built three backgrounds for only a series of posters, none of which was jerry-built. One was a flight of safety stairs outside the building. The mottled, rusty steps were tangled together, depicting the decadence of the isolated city.
This had to be the first shooting site. Sister Xue nearly burst into tears when Qin Guan came out of the dressing room. Nobody informed me that he would have to have a haircut!
The excelsior make-up crew had cut Qin Guan’s hair down to three centimeters. If it had been any shorter, Qin Guan would have looked like a monk.


Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

Fu Yu knitted his eyebrows. "Why did it turn out to be her? According to what I've gathered, you should be the most obvious choice for the role among the others in the TV station based on your age, appearance and experience."
Changqing awkwardly hung her head during Fu Yu's comment.
Fu Yu was astute and perceptive after all. When he saw her reaction, he instantly figured out the truth behind the scenes. 
Right then, came two people from outside the ware. It was Song Chuyi and a female intern working in the hospital. The intern was rolling in a piece of medical apparatus with a trolley into the ward with her. 
The moment they entered the ward, Song Chuyi darted a short glance at Changqing and Fu Yu. Meanwhile, the first instant Changqing saw Song Chuyi, her entire body stiffened as if she was confronted by a formidable enemy when she thought of the warning he gave her last night. 
Fu Yu was unhappy he was interrupted, and he asked grudgingly, "Dr. Song, is there a problem?" 
"I'm here to examine the patient," Song Chuyi replied. He cued the female intern with his eyes, and following that, the intern began to close the hospital curtain.
On the other side of the curtain, Fu Yu's mobile phone rang abruptly. Changqing could hear that there seemed to be an urgent issue cropping up back at Fu Yu's company from the details of his conversation, so she said to Fu Yu. "You can go deal with the problem. I'll keep watch on Auntie Shen."
"In that case, I'll leave her here with you. I'll be back around seven o'clock tonight," Fu Yu said then he continued his sentence with his eyebrows knitted. "I'll talk to your station head sometime later about the matter regarding the TV series."
Changqing panicked. "You don't have to do that, I…"
"You're the reason why I chose to work with this particular TV station in the first place. From the start, I assumed you'd be selected as the supporting actress even without me notifying the station head, but alas, it looks like I thought too highly of him." Fu Yu snorted coldly, and he hurriedly left without waiting for her to respond.
Changqing lost her calm and composure entirely after Fu Yu left the ward. As soon as she turned around, she was met with Song Chuyi's gaze as he came out from behind the hospital curtain with his eyes as cold as snow. 
Her body shivered from the coldness reflected in Song Chuyi's eyes as he stared at her She thought he must've misunderstood her, and that her fate was bound to be doomed.
"Dr. Song, the examination is over. There's no issue with the patient's heart rate and blood pressure." The voice of the intern broke the silence in the ward. 
"Okay, let's leave," Song Chuyi replied to the intern.
A corner of his ethereal white overcoat was lifted up along with the departure of Song Chuyi from the ward, and following behind him, the intern pushed the medical apparatus forward with small strides. 
Changqing breathed a sigh of relief when Song Chuyi left the ward, but who knew that after just a few minutes, her mobile phone would receive a message from Song Chuyi. "Come to my office, fifth floor. Be prepared to face the consequences if you choose not to come."
It was a downright and explicit threat.
Changqing sent a message back warily. "I'm uneasy about leaving Auntie Shen alone here in the ward."
Song Chuyi: "Do you want me to come over and drag you away from there?"
Changqing's heart trembled when she thought of that frozen cold face of his, and ultimately, she decided to bite the bullet and went up to his office.
His name was written and labeled on the office door which Changqing found pretty easily, and subsequently, she went into the office after she pushed open the door. 
Song Chuyi was quietly typing away on his keyboard when she came in, and when he noticed her, his eyes swept across her momentarily before he instructed: "Close the door."
Changqing absolutely had no plans of obeying his orders, but because her hands moved quicker than her brain, by the time she realized it, she had already closed the door. She internally hated herself for being so useless, but she stepped forward and began to explain herself softly. "Didn't I mention to you yesterday that I've known Fu Yu since childhood, and he and my sister were classmates too? He merely treats me as a sister." 
"He invested in shooting a TV series for your sake just because you're a mere sister to him?" Song Chuyi sneered, his face was filled with hostility. "What kind of sister are you? A godsister?"
His words were filled with scornful sarcasm, and Changqing was annoyed by his tone. "In any case, I didn't lie to you."
"Lying to others is what you women are best at," Song Chuyi said as he stood up. Looking down at her from a condescending height, and with his body towering over her, he sneered, "What a pity though. After all your painstaking effort, you were only given a role of a mere supporting actress."


Changqing has always felt that she's incomparable to Guan Ying in every aspect. Even though she is pretty and has a good family background, this world is nothing more than a world where Princes are more attracted to Cinderellas.

Her first love that she dearly remembers in her heart for years eventually becomes Guan Ying’s current boyfriend and her fiancé is Guan Ying’s ex. He has yet to forget Guan Ying.

A business marriage brings Changqing and Song Chuyi together despite the absence of love.
In public, he is her friend’s ex and in private he is her husband who cannot be publicly–known.
At the hospital, her good friend enjoys her husband’s embrace while she can only act as though he's a stranger.
At a gala dinner, her good friend hooks her arm around her first love’s arm shyly and she can only smile and give them her blessings.

…

In this marriage, Changqing thinks that all is well other than the fact that Song Chuyi doesn’t love her.
First, her husband is a doctor and he can treat all her illnesses while saving up on medical expenses.
Second, doctors love cleanliness and her husband would always ensure the cleanliness of the house.
Third, at the end of every month, her thin wallet would grow thick with cash that her husband stuffs in secretly.
Fourth, as a person who doesn’t like to exercise, she always get dragged around by her husband day and night to do some pleasurable exercise that is beneficial for the body and mind.
Fifth, she would never have to worry that she would be out of money.
There are always so many uncountable advantages that Changqing enjoys.

…

After the marriage, on a certain night, Changqing looks at Dr. Song gloomily. "Hubby, why are you so nice to me when you don’t even love me?"
Dr. Song continues reading his medical books and ignores her. It's sometimes quite a headache when your wife is too stupid and daft.
Until one day, Changqing realises that there's really no free lunch in this world…
