After the Body Swap, the General Chased Me on His Knees for Thousands of Miles

The sound of wheels rolling past pulled Jiang Xingyan from her thoughts. This must be the immortal who prayed for rain a month ago. Since the start of spring, the capital had seen no rainfall. Drought threatened the young crops, and famine loomed. Then, a white-haired immortal emerged, offering his own lifespan to defy the […]

For a moment, the court fell deathly silent, broken only by Xiao Ya’s intermittent coughing. Jiang Xingyan certainly wanted the Huo family to suffer, but not at the cost of her own life—or Xiao Ya’s. She immediately dropped to her knees in apology. “Your Majesty, please forgive this transgression! My daughter cannot bear to be […]

Huo Ci’s peony updo was already heavy, and with his mother’s forceful jab, he lost his balance and fell backward, landing hard on his backside. Thankfully, his reflexes were sharp—he caught himself with his hands. Otherwise, he might have cracked his skull. His palms burned, but the pain was nothing compared to the agony in […]

Yinzhu, caught off guard, choked violently on a mouthful of water. Her survival instinct kicked in, and she flailed wildly, grasping at anything she could. Clang! The young maid, startled, let go of the silver basin, sending it crashing to the floor. Water splashed everywhere. Gasping for air, Yinzhu collapsed onto the ground, coughing uncontrollably. […]

A procession of maids and elderly servants filed in, dragging “Jiang Xingyan” out of bed and forcing her onto a stool. Xia Feng and Dong Yang were also yanked up and shoved aside, barred from following. Huo Ci, still disoriented, opened his mouth to rebuke them—only to be momentarily blinded by a dazzling display of […]

Xia Feng watched as Huo Ci hurried off and, with a resigned sigh, followed after him. If not for her mistress’s orders—to keep the young master from noticing anything amiss—she wouldn’t have bothered with him at all! “Mistress, the Old Madam forbids us from wandering freely around the estate.” Considering Jiang Xingyan’s frail health, Xia […]

“Chunxue, fetch some hot water to soak Xiao Ya. Xia Feng, go prepare the medicine first.” “Xin Zhui, withdraw two hundred taels from the estate’s accounts. Keep the extra for drinks, then return to the barracks.” Xin Zhui startled, thinking to himself: How strange! The general just now was acting exactly like a woman—could he be […]

On the way to the side courtyard, Huo Ci suddenly understood his mother’s change in attitude. Jiang Xingyan had been spoiled since childhood, while his mother was a stickler for propriety. It must have been Jiang Xingyan’s repeated defiance over the past two years—while he was away—that had worn his mother’s patience thin. Even a […]

Xiao Ya was soaked to the bone, her usually sweet voice now hoarse from choking on water. The sound alone wrenched at Huo Ci’s heart. Even if Jinzhu was at fault, if Jiang Xingyan had kept Xiao Ya by her side at all times, how could a lowly servant have gotten the chance to harm […]

Jiang Xingyan took a deep breath. She had just come back to life—she wasn’t about to let him anger her to death. Beside her, the blunt and outspoken Xia Feng could no longer hold back. “Madam, what are you saying?! She was the one who—” “Grand Physician Sun is here!” Xin Zhui leapt down from […]
