We keep reviewing and seeking out the motives of criminals, exploring the subtlest emotions driving them. It’s not to put ourselves in their shoes and sympathize, or even forgive them; it’s not to find some reasons to exculpate their crimes; it’s not to kneel down before the so-called “complexity of human nature”; nor to introspect social conflicts, much less to alienate ourselves into monsters.

We just want to have a fair trial – for ourselves and for those who still have hope for the world. <<less

Pei Jiu picked up a girl by the riverside. He settled her on the mountain, and planned to send her back once she recovered. This delicate girl was a useless crybaby, so Pei Jiu had to be a nice person. He cooked her food and washed her clothes. He let the troublesome girl ride on his shoulders so she could pick fruits. During winter, he would warm up the bed for her. One day, she hugged Pei Jiu’s arm with a smile. “Big Brother Pei, you’re really an honest and a good man. I will marry you and give birth to your babies!”... more>>

Pei Jiu eyed her critically and scathingly enumerated her shortcomings. She was ignorant and spoiled. She only knew how to pester and flirt with people all day long. Give birth to babies? Go ahead, give birth to caterpillars.

The delicate girl bawled so hard that she passed out. The next day, Pei Jiu returned to his mansion and told his servants to prepare for his wedding ceremony. When he returned to the mountain in the evening, Pei Jiu opened the door as usual, but he found that the cheeky girl had disappeared. He searched the whole mountain for her to no avail. No one would act like a spoiled brat in front of him anymore. What a headache.

Ariel Bellford was the second daughter of the baronet house of Bellford that didn’t have a single thing special about them.... more>>

Three years had passed since her fiance Arsion, the successor of the ducal house of Hastings, became a knight and left her side.

There’s a rumour that reached her ears, along with the news that Arsion is coming back, where they say that he is planning to become a Holy Knight!

‘I can’t let that happen!’

Ariel, who was agonizing on how she would be able to prevent Arsion from becoming a Holy Knight, ends up getting her hands on a s*x education book called, What to Do at Night.

“Sion, I will teach you what to do at night.”

A Holy Knight can only be a man who solely has a pure mind and body. Because of that, Ariel leads Arsion to the path of depravity and was planning to do it with him so that he can’t become a Holy Knight, but……

‘But after this, what am I going to do?’

With regards to her problem, it was that Ariel also didn’t know well about ‘what to do at night.’ <<less

In his previous life, Yun Qingci loved the Emperor more than life and death. When he was alive, he made soup and clothes for him, and in politics, he helped monitor his officials, even his family.... more>>

He was solely dedicated to the emperor, and all his scheming strategies were used to gain favour. He never borrowed his power as the Lord Empress to seek employment for his relatives, and he did not show favoritism. He can be said to be strictly impartial and incorruptible, not even recognizing his own family.

Outsiders were terrified of him, and relatives hated him, but Yun Qingci didn’t care. However, in the end, he was thrown into the cold palace by the only person he cared about and his whole family imprisoned.

Finally, he committed su*cide on that snowy day, and fell down that gilded tower.

Reincarnated, Yun Qingci retracted his claws, picked up the glass pieces of his heart, and conducted himself evasively in society. Acting as an escort to the Emperor for his relatives, he decided to become a proud Lord Empress that doesn’t need to be treasured or can have his status shaken.

Unexpectedly, the emperor who abandoned him like a shoe, praised by countless courtiers for both his virtue and kindness, suddenly changed his temper. He became cold and harsh, paranoid and cruel.

The servants who confronted Yun Qingci? He would beat them. The imperial concubines that provoked Yun Qingci? He'd punish them. A small person who framed Yun Qingci? He would kill him. When someone tries to approach Yun Qingci, he would become jealous to the extreme.

Soon everyone knew that Empress Yun was the emperor’s inverse scale. He was not allowed to be hurt, touched, or even looked at.

Yun Qingci, the fairy man, is speechless: So you like me not loving you, why didn’t you say that sooner?

‘Ariel is being strange.’... more>>

Three months after Ariel and Arsion’s wedding, Arsion felt confused about the sudden change in Ariel’s behavior.

She would suddenly appear with a whip at night, and would speak le*d words that she had never put in her mouth before…

Of course, Arsion loved Ariel even more because even though she was being odd, everything she did was all adorable.

Meanwhile, when Arsion left for a territorial inspection, a suspicious man came to the capital to meet Ariel…….

* * *

“……Riel?”

Sion muttered at Ariel’s blurry appearance. No way. Ariel can’t be here.

‘I miss you so much that I seem to be fantasizing you here with me.‘

It’s serious. Arsion didn’t know if he would see this fantasy for two weeks.

Though Arsion thought so, he reached out to Ariel. Soft cheeks cupped in his full hands. Her eyes were slanted when he touched them. Small red and cute lips. How can one even have such a beautiful fantasy.

Arsion felt his throat burning. Now he was hungry for Ariel. He wanted to soothe this thirst by licking her all over with full suggestions. Arsion, therefore, pulled away Ariel’s clothes away without hesitation.

“Sion!”

Ariel’s surprised voice was so vivid. It was like the real Ariel.

So Arsion moved his hands more busily. A skillful hand quickly untied her clothes and he smiled as soon as Ariel’s white chest was revealed under the bright sunlight.

It’s good to have this fantasy.

‘I’ve always wanted to do this with you.’

Arsion wanted to do what they do at night during the day. <<less
