Golden Terrace

“You are the mighty Beiyan Commander. Why stay here and put up with this persecution? Why don’t you rebel?!”

Fu Shen blinked the water droplets off his eyelashes. Suddenly, he laughed.

All his resentment and helplessness, his dejection, his fellow-feeling, his apathetic insight and bone-deep suffering, were collected in that laugh.

Yan Xiaohan gave a start. It was as if he had been scorched by that laugh. He abruptly let go.

During the escort of a diplomatic envoy, General Fu Shen is injured. Unable to walk on his broken legs, he returns to the capital only to be conferred a marriage with Imperial Investigator Yan Xiaohan, the court lackey who has no bottom line and Fu Shen’s nemesis.

Also, this is the last post of the year 2022, so as I have the opportunity, let me wish all my readers a wonderful 2023, and I hope you got through 2022 relatively fine! I’m very happy to have managed to finish this series before the end of the year, so I don’t have to begin the new year with it. Lol.

Thank you for staying with me through this year or thank you for finding me. Either way, I’m happy to know I have had people read my blog for yet another year. See you in 2023!


“Shizun, what were you dreaming of just now?” he asked persistently. “Are you injured?”

“I…” Shen Qingqiu had stayed within that dream for too long, and his soul had yet to make it all the way back. As he looked at Luo Binghe’s face, it seemed both real and yet not, and his vision wavered, at times blurred and at times clear. He didn’t know what to say.

Luo Binghe became even more frantic, and he raised his voice. “ Shizun! Say something!”

Suddenly, inspiration struck Shen Qingqiu. He blinked, then pulled Luo Binghe’s face down and kissed him.

This is a collection of short stories set both before and after the main story. In original stories and bonuses from the web serialisation, we get to meet the original flavour, Bing-ge and Zhuzhi-lang during his time with Tianlang-jun, among others.

The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System vol 3

A few days earlier, Shen Qingqiu couldn’t have gotten away from Luo Binghe fast enough, retreating three steps for every one he took. Now he didn’t want to do that sort of thing anymore. Retreating would make him look too much like a respectable woman kidnapped by a ruffian—too much like affected bashfulness.

After following Luo Binghe to the Demon Realm, Shen Qingqiu asked Luo Binghe to leave him alone. To his surprise, Luo Binghe does this. At least for a few days. But when things seems about to take a turn for the worse, Shen Qingqiu’s misfortune really manages to save him from the situation… only to be thrown in a situation that might perhaps be worse?!

Releasing three beautiful flowers had been a purely unthinking mistake. Shen Qingqiu had certainly never planned to fill in the gap left behind himself. He had that old feeling of having accidentally picked up the wrong script—it made him vaguely suspicious that that scam of a System was still around.

Three years passed with Shen Qingqiu living a perfectly peaceful life — when he wasn’t out travelling, he might have given his disciples some guidance, and now and then he needed his medicine as well. One day, though, he got a sudden quest and to his horror, it turned out this quest not only was demons feeding themselves, Luo Binghe has already returned from the Endless Abyss. Now he had to get away and quick! But things are never easy for Shen Qingqiu and even after changing his hardware, he didn’t get rid of that virus of a system haunting him.
