Bad news: Xu Yanmiao traveled back to ancient times, but he himself is lazy and uninterested in anything but internet cybersecurity, which is useless in ancient times.... more>>

Good news: He's bound to a system.

Bad news: The system is called the Gossip System, not the fortune-telling kind, but the kind that contains other people's private information and scandals. Utterly useless.

More bad news: This system is also glitchy, and the extent of the bugs is unknown.

Even more bad news: This body is that of a minor official who can attend court meetings, while Xu, the time traveler... doesn't understand the classics, can't write with a brush, and is at risk of being exposed for cheating in the imperial exams.

Xu Yanmiao: "..."

Forget it, just lie low, wait to die, maybe dying quickly could lead to another time travel.

...

In the court, the emperor was furious about state affairs, and the courtiers trembled in fear.

Xu Yanmiao pretended to listen attentively but was actually focused on browsing the Gossip System.

[Wow, the emperor just took in a 16-year-old noblewoman yesterday! A beautiful addition! He's getting stronger with age! And he was tossing and turning in bed all night but still has such a powerful voice now! Amazing!]

[This noblewoman used to be the crown prince's concubine! And the crown prince even knows how to write passionate love letters!]

[Wow wow wow! The crown prince sneaked into the grandpa's harem... hiss—got intimate while the old emperor was attending court! Do it quickly! Why isn't there any video...]

[Huh? Why is there no sound?]

Xu Yanmiao cautiously raised his head and glanced around.

[What happened? Why is everyone kneeling? Where's the emperor?]

—The emperor went to catch adultery in the harem.

*

The "imperial exam cheating" bomb finally exploded.

Xu Yanmiao couldn't explain why his handwriting on the exam paper didn't match his usual handwriting, nor could he answer why he didn't understand the classics.

The evidence prepared by the ousted crown prince of the emperor hit the nail on the head, and his personal bodyguard was ready to drag Xu Yanmiao away to the prison, awaiting execution in the autumn.

Xu Yanmiao held onto the gossip that proved his innocence but was in a quandary:

How do I explain the source of my information...

[Say that I secretly met with the Chief Examiner, the Minister of Rites, three nights before the exam? Impossible, that night, the Minister of Rites was dressed as a woman, spent the night at the General's Mansion, with the general...]

The general's body shook, and he interjected: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"Although the evidence of exam cheating is solid, I believe there's still something fishy about this. It should be re-investigated! Especially Xu... Xu... Xu Yanmiao's attire is neat and tidy! Someone who cares so much about their appearance, how could they tarnish their reputation!"

The crown prince, who couldn't hear his thoughts: ??

[Also, what's with saying that the examiner faking yawning and tiredness was intentionally leaving me a gap for cheating? He spent the night before the exam in the pigsty without sleeping, how could he not be tired the next day? But, surprisingly, the Imperial Academy lecturer actually believed in pig's milk...]

The Imperial Academy lecturer's face went pale, and he burst out: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"I... I agree with the General's words! How could Xu Lang cheat in the exam! He... he... he deliberately drank a glass of pure water before the exam, believing that only good-hearted people can use pure things, such a kind-hearted person, how could he cheat in the exam!"

Thinking he had everything under control, the crown prince: ??

Xu Yanmiao was deeply moved.

[They're all good people, even if their brains don't work well, they're trying their best to find reasons and excuses for me.]

[But I really have no way to turn the tables, alas, it's a pity that I haven't finished watching the TV series I've been following. The old emperor angered the empress last night and got kicked out of the bedchamber, and now I'm going to die before seeing the ending. He seems to be planning to paint his face with ink and pretend to be a cat to cheer up the empress...]

"Bang—"

The old emperor slammed the table, forcibly interrupting the continuous stream of thoughts: "I believe Xu Yanmiao did not cheat in the exam! Release him, innocent!"

The civil and military officials couldn't wait to echo, fearing that if they were too slow, Xu Yanmiao might spill more gossip.

"Yes yes yes! Release him innocent!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please end the court session! Let Xu Lang go home and rest! You've tired him out by making him stand for so long!"

The crown prince: ??

Did Xu Yanmiao drug them with hallucinogens or something? <<less

In the middle of the night, I saw a WeChat message on my boyfriend's phone: "If you didn't have a girlfriend, would you like me?"... more>>

He replied with one word: "Yes."

I handed him the chat record to see.

After a long silence, he stubbed out his cigarette.

"I told you she's just a colleague, and I've promised nothing will happen with her in the future, isn't that enough?"

As he said this, there was no expression on his face, but the disappointment and blame in his voice were unmistakable.

At that moment, I realized I might not know this person at all. <<less

The dragon was actually not that evil.... more>>

He had never done anything bad in his entire life. He did not burn or loot the towns below the mountain, nor did he kill anyone.

He had only two harmless hobbies: counting gold coins and sleeping in a pile of gold coins.

Even the gold coins were a legal inheritance from the previous generation of dragons.

But there was no choice; even if he wasn't evil, he still had to be called an evil dragon.

In fairy tales, dragons were always called evil dragons. It seemed like if they weren't evil, they weren't worthy of being dragons.

When the dragon reached adulthood, he had to do his first bad deed. Yes, just like in the fairy tales, he had to capture a princess. <<less

Zhou Yanchuan, an outwardly rough and straightforward yet inwardly simple-minded and artistically blind tycoon (the top), and Lu Yunchu, an eccentric and independent-minded beautiful artist (the bottom).... more>>

Lu Yunchu, a wealthy young master, was disowned by his family after coming out as gay. He moved to another city, started a sculpture studio, overcame initial hardships, and eventually met a major client.

Confident in his abilities, Lu Yunchu was taken aback to discover that his new client was a rich man who knew nothing about art and loved to meddle.

Lu: “What are your tastes?”

Zhou: “The taste that made me place an order with you.”

Lu: “…”

Inner thoughts of Lu: (You idiot!)

Inner thoughts of Zhou: (If you have the guts, don’t take my order.)

However, after some time, they became familiar with each other.

Lu: “Do you mind having gay people around you?”

Zhou: “You don’t like me, so why should I mind?”

Lu: “What if I do like you?”

Zhou: “You like me?”

Lu: “In your dreams.”

Zhou: “Well, that’s what you think.”

After some more time.

Lu: “Zhou Yanchuan, do you like me even a little?”

Zhou: “I think… more than just a little.”

Notes:

The top had an ex-girlfriend, and the bottom had an ex-boyfriend. Neither are virg*ns. Both have suitors who are not involved romantically.

The story is set in an alternate urban background, not realistic or professional. Bugs may occur; do not compare it to reality. It’s likely to be both cliché and shallow.

It’s a mutual attraction, with the top realizing his feelings later. Once he does, his feelings are strong.

Contains a small amount of GL subplot: Ning Ruowei & An Yuan (no dominant-submissive dynamics). <<less
