    Summary

    Instead of studying to become a cultivator, Meng Yao takes the Keju–the imperial examination–at a young age, and finds himself working as a tax auditor. When he is sent to investigate the Jin Sect’s various financial crimes, he meets his father for the first time, and must wrestle with the contradictions between who he believed his father would be, and the monster he really is.

    Inspired by a Tumblr post!

    Summary

    “Wake up. You need to wake up.”

    Just above her, lit by the gentle light of dawn was perhaps the most handsome man she had ever seen. His features were sharp and regal, his eyes dark, and he regarded her with concern and wariness.

    “While I can hardly protest waking to such a handsome face, who are you?”

    >>>>

    When her brother Meng Yao is kicked down the Golden Carp Tower steps, Meng Yijun believes him dead and runs away from Yunping City.

    Immortal Baoshan Sanren takes her in.

    Years later, Yijun returns to the cultivation world to discover she’s missed a war, her brother is still alive, and the Jiang Clan Leader is incredibly attractive.

    Summary

    She should be strong for them. She should hold them and tell them everything would be all right. All she could do was stand there and cry.

    “What happened, child?” Lao Wang asked softly, staring at the tangle of her brothers. His hands were firmly set on his cane, but there was something soothing about his presence in that moment. It helped that he wasn’t actually looking at her when she started to speak.

    “Father…Sect Leader Jiang found out that my brother and I are not his children. Our mother was an adulteress.” She took a deep breath, wrapping her arms around herself, starting to shake. “He…he kicked us out.”

    Summary

    There’s the quiet knock of his assistant, Su She, at the door. He likes to hover anxiously outside the glass walls of his office as if Meng Yao can’t see him. This is usually followed by Meng Yao waving him in wordlessly, taking something or filing something or approving something whilst Su She wrings his hands.

    Today, Meng Yao has to balance the phone between his ear and shoulder as Su She passes him a baby.

    ***

    Yet another illegitimate Jin baby appears and Jin Guangshan takes no responsibility.

    Meng Yao has to do everything around here.
