He couldn’t simply ruin this pitiful child for the sake of his own selfish interests. Instead, he kept the small boy at his side, spoiling him and raising him as his trusted aide.

He truly believed they shared a master and servant’s pure and honest affection, not at all realizing that that wicked boy had been rotten from the start. The delicately charming small boy who was spoiled day and night only ever thought about two things:

1. Why hasn’t master bestowed his favour on me yet?

2. Just how can I climb into master’s bed? <<less

Qi Condensation. Foundation Establishment. Core Formation. In the current world, only these three realms are known to be achievable. Nascent Soul is but a legend and the realms above it lost to the the long river of time. The modern era is known as Cultivation Civilization, a balance of power and civility, excess and moderation. While cultivation remains a secret practice, it has long since exposed itself to the mundane world, quietly intertwined with each facet of society.

During a military expedition led by the young Emperor, a regent’s rebellion struck. In his sacrificial loyalty to the country, Xie Qingfeng found himself transported a thousand years into the future, inhabiting the body of a disowned scion of a wealthy family.

Arriving in this new era penniless and without any practical skills, Xie Qingfeng’s stroke of fortune was inheriting the Emperor’s private treasury.

When A-yang was imprisoned in the Demon-Sealing Cave, she vowed upon her demonic bones that if there ever came a day when she escaped, she would definitely give that person a torturous death.... more>>

By the time she crawled out of the Demon-Sealing Cave, the outside world had already gone through a myriad of changes and the whereabouts of that person was unknown.
