At the bottom of the Demon Abyss Palace, Cangming stood on the sacrificial altar, wearing Qin Lang's body. With every breath he took, the black lines beneath his feet glowed one layer brighter. I struck with my sword. The sword light pierced the demonic qi and stopped at his throat. It wasn't blocked. I had stopped it myself. That body still belonged to Qin Lang. If I cut it down, Cangming would only lose a shell, and Qin Lang would lose his life. Cangming laughed loudly. "Can't bring yourself to…-

After the battle at the Demon Abyss, Gu Chen's name rang across the Nine Provinces. A Nascent Soul cultivator with a Heavenly Demon Bone, who reversed a great formation with his own hands and destroyed the five-thousand-year-old remnant soul of the Demon Emperor. Invitations from the great sects piled up on my table. One sect wanted to marry him to their holy maiden. One patriarch wanted to take him as a disciple, never mind that he already had a master. I looked at the pile and got a…

Đỗ Diệu My, twenty-six, a marketing manager at a media company, was facing the very real threat of being dragged back to her hometown by her mother for her fifth blind date of the year. In the middle of that dead end, she ran into Vũ Thành Đạt again: the young CEO of a tech startup, and her sworn enemy from university, because he had always come second to her in every academic competition. As fate would have it, Thành Đạt had the same problem. His grandmother, who held a crucial stake in the…-

The dinner where Thành Đạt introduced her to his grandmother took place at an upscale restaurant, with the entire Vũ family in attendance. Diệu My had prepared carefully, from her elegant outfit to the way she spoke, determined to play the "perfect girlfriend" flawlessly. Đạt's grandmother, Mrs. Vũ Ngọc Lan, was a sharp woman whose eyes seemed able to see straight through any lie. She asked Diệu My question after question that sounded casual but were anything but, from how long they had…

Over the next three weeks, Diệu My and Thành Đạt had to meet more often to make the "contract" convincing: dinners with both families, appearances at social events, even planning a weekend trip at Mrs. Ngọc Lan's request. On that beach trip, a sudden downpour forced them to shelter under the awning of a small roadside café. The yellow light fell on Diệu My's rain-soaked face, her hair plastered to her cheeks. She looked flustered and strangely adorable. "What are you smiling at?" Diệu My…

Things got complicated when Lâm Khả Ái, Thành Đạt's cousin and his rival for the inheritance, began to notice something odd about his relationship with Diệu My. Suspicious and scheming by nature, Khả Ái investigated quietly and discovered that until three months ago, the two of them had barely been in touch. At the same time, Trần Quốc Huy, Diệu My's ex-boyfriend, who had cheated on her to chase a richer girl, suddenly came back looking for her, claiming he wanted to "rekindle the old…

Lâm Khả Ái struck first. At a family dinner, she brought her evidence straight to Mrs. Ngọc Lan: a few old messages between Diệu My and Thành Đạt from before the "contract" began, clearly showing how distant the two had been. "Grandmother, I think you should know the truth," Khả Ái said, her voice full of calculation. "Đạt and My have never really been in love. It's all an act so he can keep his inheritance." A heavy silence fell over the table. Diệu My felt her whole body go stiff,…

After the dinner, Lâm Khả Ái's schemes were gradually exposed to the whole family, while the bond between Diệu My and Thành Đạt only grew stronger, no longer tied to any terms of a contract. One evening at sunset, Thành Đạt took Diệu My back to the very café where they had signed their handwritten "contract." He pulled out the old, crumpled napkin and smiled. "Do you remember the terms we wrote here?" "Of course," Diệu My smiled back. "No genuinely liking each other. No jealousy…

Late at night, Shanghai always wore a thin layer of mist over its riverside streets, blurring the lights of its towers like fragments of memories that had never been explained. At exactly 2:17 a.m., the security cameras of a commercial complex captured a woman in a light-colored coat standing in front of the entrance to Building 17. The strangest part was that the cameras recorded her for exactly thirteen seconds. After those thirteen seconds, the footage returned to normal, and the woman seemed never…-

The next morning, Fu Jingze took all of File 23 back to his private investigation room. The file was only a few dozen pages long, but the most important part was missing exactly one page. Ning Chulan noticed that the pages were numbered continuously from 22 to 24, with no sign that anything had been torn out. "Someone renumbered the entire file." Fu Jingze looked at the old writing and recognized his father's handwriting. Beneath one of the notes was a small triangle. He remembered that symbol…
