Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Tao Gong Wang
In the late years of the Daqian era, tyrants roamed freely, war erupted endlessly, and the people could not sustain their lives. After transmigration, Chen Jie finds himself as a drunken gambler with a pair of unfortunate sisters at home. The elder one, Su Yunjin, is his wife, and he also has a five-year-old sister-in-law, Su Yunrui. Their family is so poor they can barely make ends meet. Then suddenly, his beautiful wife comes smiling, bringing him a bowl of hot porridge. "Husband, I was wrong yesterday. Please have some porridge while it's hot." Seeing the bruises on his wife's face, Chen Jie feels something is amiss. Ding~ [Daily Information has been updated] [1. Yesterday, you gambled away the last three acres of good land, beat Su Yunjin while drunk, and planned to sell the five-year-old Su Yunrui, to recover your losses.] [2. The Su sisters rely on each other. Su Yunrui is Su Yunjin's only hope.] [3. Su Yunjin, having lost hope, traded her mother's hairpin three days ago for a pack of arsenic.] ...Arsenic! Staring at the hot porridge brought to his lips, Chen Jie looks up at his wife, seeing the faint bruise on her face and her eyes shifting away, avoiding his gaze. "Honey!" "Yes?" "You're not going to kill me, are you?!"

The City full with Mask In the cold steel of the heart of London, where the River of Thames mirrors neon ambitions, powers were being weaned to a polished smile. Skyscrapers rise like monuments to wealth, and within their glass of towers the financial elites trade fortunes and secrets. Corruptions being hidden behind tailored suits and refined accents. Their reputation is a currency, and truth is a liability to them. Across the Channels, in restless Paris, the beauty of a trembles with defiance. Cafés buzz with so much whispers to manifestos, artists painting their revolution into alley walls, and their protests surge through historic streets. Romance lingers in a way that the air is full of smiles, but so does danger lies. The city is so alive with a ghost path, of lost ideals, broken promises being made, and a justice system that bends under unseen hands. When a powerful individual in London's financier system is being accused of a crime that could be so reviewed to be an exposing network of international corruption in place, the battle that led to a symbolic courtroom where the truth and lies are being collided. Evidence disappearing, with witnesses recant. Justice on its own, seems to stand trials, corrupted by their influence and fear. Amid the chaos that arises, a hidden sanctuary in the Montmartre becomes a refuge in turn with a secret loft where poets are lined, activists, and lovers dare to imagine their freedom. It is in this light, that alliances are forged and their courage is reborn. The conflict hurtles toward their climax atop a London tower, high above their glittering Thames. The windswept rooftop, masks fall away. The betrayal that met loyalty, that also confronted love with a hidden ambition. The City of Masks, which is a gripping tale of powers, rebellions, and the fragile lines in between justice and illusion, where cities become their characters, and with their survivals demands more than it's courage; it demands everything from them..
