On the very first day Li Nuo crossed into this world, he had learned that his new body’s father was none other than the current Minister of the Court of Judicial Review—the Chief Justice of Great Xia, the feared bane of all criminals. Back then, he had naïvely assumed that the assassination attempts against him were nothing more than petty revenge from criminals his father had punished… Turns out, those “criminals” were all righteous men. And he—was the one on the wrong side. Even…

Boom!The moment Song Jia caught the dagger, a crushing pressure descended from the sky. The peddler’s knees buckled as an invisible force pinned him to the ground. He used all his strength, but couldn’t even lift his head. With a calm expression, Song Jia tossed the now-blunted dagger to the ground. Steward Wu strode forward, face dark, and waved his hand. Two figures leapt from the crowd and pinned the peddler down hard. Li Nuo, instead of being angry about being attacked in broad…

After a sweet and refreshing afternoon nap, Li Nuo woke up full of energy. He had originally planned to head to the county office, but when he walked into the courtyard, he ran into Song Muer, who said she wanted to go shopping on the street. Li Nuo thought about it and didn’t refuse. Even though he’d been in this world for more than half a month, he’d basically just been going back and forth between the county office and home. His mind had been tightly wound the entire time, and he hadn’t…

Li Nuo didn’t eat at Pei Zhe’s home today at noon. Even though he really liked Madam Pei’s cooking, it felt wrong to keep freeloading off someone else’s family. But the real reason was that Lord Pei had gone out incognito today to inspect local affairs. That meant Madam Pei was the only one home, and Li Nuo felt it was best to avoid any unnecessary gossip. Even though there was more than a decade’s age gap between them, marriages happened early in Great Xia—most people were already…

Because the Song residence was close to the county office, Li Nuo could afford to sleep in a little longer. When he woke up, the bedding beside him had already been tidied, and his wife was nowhere in sight. Li Nuo was used to this by now. After a quick wash, he set out for the county office with Steward Wu. As they exited the Song residence, he once again passed by the white-haired old man. Chen, the old scholar, had arrived early at the Song residence today. He had spent the entire night…

It was still early—before the end of his shift—when Li Nuo walked out of the county office. The number of daily cases was dwindling. Today, he’d ruled on all of them, but only gained two extra days of lifespan, not even a fraction of what those pampered officials' sons were raking in. It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go back again. Only a day had passed, and Li Nuo already found himself missing those brats. Steward Wu was waiting in the carriage. When Li Nuo climbed…

Early the next morning, when Li Nuo woke up, the bedding by the side of the bed had already been tidied up, and his wife was nowhere to be seen. He’d slept exceptionally well last night—perhaps the most peaceful and restful sleep he’d had since arriving in this world. For one, Song Qian and her muscular husband weren’t making a ruckus next door. For another, his wife had been right beside him. As he fell asleep, he’d been wrapped in a deep sense of security. Stretching on the bed and…

Seeing that Li Nuo wasn’t interested, Song Yu could only sigh in disappointment and mutter,“That’s really a shame.” On the surface, Zhou Yu looked equally regretful, but deep down, he actually felt relieved. Even though he’d prepared himself for it, the thought of Yuanyang Girl one day lying beneath another man still made his chest ache. At that moment, Li Nuo grew curious and asked,“What kind of woman could make the two of you so obsessed?” After all, both Song Yu and Zhou Yu were…

Just as Li Nuo arrived at the Song residence, he happened to run into Song Mu’er and Song Jiaren, who were just about to head out the door. They had been on their way to the Li residence to look for him. Fortunately, they bumped into him at the entrance—otherwise, they would’ve made a wasted trip. A short while later, in a small courtyard, Song Mu’er lay sprawled on a table, resting her head in her hands as she said,“Brother Li Nuo, you should just live with us. Then none of us would have…

Song Yu was deeply moved—touched and remorseful at the same time. He was touched that his brother-in-law would repay past wrongs with kindness, and he was ashamed of his past behavior. He quickly explained,“I didn’t mean to target you before. It’s just… back then, I really didn’t think you were good enough for Jia Ren. So I may have gone a bit too far. I hope you won’t hold it against me…” Li Nuo could understand Song Yu’s perspective. If it had been his own sister marrying a…
