“Next, we have the most noble recipient of the Order of the Garter, the Grand Cross of Saint Michael and Saint George, the Grand Cross of the Bath, the Victoria Cross and the lower grades of Knighthood, the leader of the anti-colonial movement, the bell-ringer of the East India Company, the hero of the Crimean War, a Fellow of the Royal Society, a lifelong dear friend of literary giants such as Dickens and Great Dumas, a steadfast supporter of scientific luminaries like Faraday and Darwin, having served as assistant under-secretary, deputy under-secretary, and permanent under-secretary in departments of the Home Office and the Navy Department of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the inaugural Cabinet Secretary and head of the civil service, the first graduate and most distinguished alumnus of our school. Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately. The applause grew even more fervent... (The protagonist, possessed by a devil, travels through 19th-century Britain in a world without magic)

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

The story is well structured and the plot is intriguing enough to maintain the interest. Not better than Kill the sun or Shadow Slave ✅But it is enough to be on one of the top novels, depending on how the plot and ending turns out.

Enjoy this translated poem I found: "The shadow" - George Coșbuc Your burnt offspring's smoke will wind Peacefully towards the skies Only if you bear in mind That when you go to the sun, Your dark shadow is behind. Silent slave whom the grim lord Summons by a silent gesture, He takes heed, humble and awed, Of the slightest beckoning, And keeps everything well scored. He's your bondman when your flight Is directed to the sun; He hurts not, he's out of sight; Holy rays surround your forehead, And you do advance in light. But your shadow councils ill When you leave the sun behind; He will cloud your face until Your keen eyes become purblind -- He is nothing but ill-will! Shadow, sun, shrine, smoke, and glow! Useless is my tale, unless You have understood it. So -- You may choose! You are just starting; I have long been on the go.

I read this book after I started Shadow Slave.. I loved this book. Though short according to Webnovel standards, the story development, character building, the narrative style, etc.. are as gripping as Shadow Slave. However, I do hope Shadow Slave has a happier ending.

Placing gold from shares

The author was considered half an insider of the industry. He had seen how many people went crazy again and again. When he lost 20%, he kept covering his position. Resist at 30% 。。。 Playing dead 50% of the time A rebound of less than 10% meant that all the chips in one's hand were gone. No matter how high or low it was, one would not have the courage to take back what belonged to them. In this market, the scariest thing was not to lose money, but to earn money in the wrong way. It was like something that did not belong to you was just stored in your hands for a while, and then you gave away your old capital to others. Many people's so-called experience was nothing more than being ravaged by the market, distorted, crazy, and finally accepted, becoming worldly and practical. A person's character was the key to his fate. It was engraved in his bones. It was easier said than done to change it. Have you ever tried to like someone you hated? Yes, maybe you can do it. When you become the person you used to hate, you will slowly start to like yourself. Caper1: The National Competition Reveals Its Edge Caper2: Confrontation and Death Caper3: Brothers of the Same Heart 。。。。。。 Life was like a play, and books were like life.
