On the day of the Business awards, Zhang Zhi Jun personally drove to Jing university to pick Li Juan. Since it was her first time representing Bai corporation as their heir, Bai Zhu insisted her to accompany Zhang Zhi Jun and Bai Yu. Unable to ignore their request, Li Juan decided to go with them.
"Are you tensed, majesty?" Zhang Zhi Jun tried to initiate a talk with Li Juan who appeared silent as they headed towards his condominium.
"Whenever I hear about party, I get nervous without any reasons. I don't know why, but parties are not my thing," She said with dispirited tone.
"Don't worry we will be with you, there is no need to worry," He assured her, "I heard that you refused to get your own place,"
"I didn't refuse. It just I didn't get a place of my liking,"
Zhang Zhi Jun tilted his head and looked at Li Juan with dubious eyes. There is no way that Bai family would failed to cater the needs of their beloved Queen. Then what is she talking about?
"I live with my friend, next to the university," She stated even before he asked, "First brother, when did you return after shooting overseas?"
"Last week,"
"Oh then why didn't tell me? I would've come and visited you," Her big black eyes shows a sulky expression,
"I was busy with the practices. You know, I am performing today,"
"Really, do I get to see you singing live?" The morose and sullen look on her face immediately brightened up,
"Of course," He affirmed with a radiant smile,
How can he forget that Li Juan still adores her idol?
While they were immersed in the conversation, Zhang Zhi Jun's car entered into the underground parking lot of the "Sky castle," the highest residential building in the Jing city. As per Zhang Zhi Jun's order a group of well know stylists and make up artists were waiting for preparing Li Juan for the award night.
"Isn't it a bit extra vagant?" Li Juan asked in a low voice as she saw the her outfit for the night,"
"Ofcourse not. Aunt Wu put an entire month's effort to create this outfit for the Queen," Zhang Zhi Jun said proudly, "Today you are going to meet everyone as Bai Yue Ling, the young miss of Bai family,"
Li Juan faintly smiled and nodded in agreement,
It is going to be an important day in her life and it will be a cherry on top if she looks a little prettier,

Hundreds of cameras flashed continuously as the guests arrived,
Various A-list celebrities posed for the photographs and signed autographs for their fans.
As the reporters were busy interviewing the guests, a matte black limousine stopped in front of the red carpet, gaining attention from everyone,
The door of the limo was opened and Zhang Zhi Jun's towering frame stepped out elegantly,
"Ahhhh.... it is Zhang Zhi Jun," The crowd broke into a loud cheer,
As the cameras flashed, Zhang Zhi Jun gave them a hearty smile and give way for Bai Yu, who got down from the car with a proud face,
"Eh? Zhang Zhi Jun brought a young man as his companion for the night?" The fans bawled,
However the next moment, Zhang Zhi Jun moved towards the door and reached out his neatly cuffed arm to support someone,
"Some one else is with him?"
"Who is his companion for the night? Is that his onscreen pair, the angel "Ning Jing?"
The moment a woman got down from the limousine, the crowd's eyes were glazed over,
At the end of the carpet, Li Juan stood wearing an extremely lavish black gown adorned with various shiny gems, making her sparkle like a diamond. Her big Stygian eyes releasing a mysterious aura which no one can ignore,
After the photographers saw her, they forgot their to click the pictures for a moment,
Even though Li Juan wore an extremely breathtaking gown, her magnificent charisma and elegance was on par with her title of the Queen of the Yu palace.
"Beautiful!!!"
"Who is this woman?"
"Oh My God, is she Zhang Zhi Jun's girl friend? Is that why he didn't appear in any dating rumors?"
"She is an absolute queen,"
Li Juan regally floated over the carpet with the escort of her cousins at both of her sides, like her knights in armor,
She moved so gracefully and elegantly, making it hard for one to look away,
Who is this ravishing beauty who holds such a strong aura?
"Is that Li Juan?" Xie Long was the first one to recognize Li Juan, "What is she doing with Bro Jun?"
"Aish, why is she sticking up to him?" Mo Yan cussed as he saw the woman who was walking with his colleague, as he settled down with his friends,
"I thought he has a girlfriend," Min Zhe commented,
"It is his girlfriend," Ye Ling declared and waved his hands at Zhang Zhi Jun who settled down not so far from him,
"What? How can it be?" Xie Long was totally perplexed and moved his head towards the other side
"Hey look there it is Tang Wei Sheng," He shouted and shifted his friends attention to the man who sat with a brooded expression over his face.
"If she is Li Juan and then you can see the real drama," Mo Yan sneered,
All the guests arrived slowly and within in an hour the grand ceremony started with Zhang Zhi Jun's song along with paino recital,

Accompanied by the sound of applause and emotional shrieks of fan girls, he started to sing in his famous lyrical baritone voice, leading the people in luxurious hall into seventh heaven.
Li Juan who got mesmerized by his stage presence, gaped at him like a fan girl,
Once the opening ceremony was over, the award presentation started, one by one various awards in different categories has been distributed,
"The next award is for the corporation which obtained the highest turnover from the overseas market," The host of the ceremony announced, "In order to announce the awards, I would like to invite, Ning Zhao, CEO of Ning group and our favorite, nation's angel, Miss Ning Jing,"
With a loud round of applause, an old man in his sixties came to the stage along with Ning Jing who was donned in a white mermaid gown.
"Good evening one and all," Ning Zhao greeted and bowed the audience, "It is an extreme pleasure to meet you all, along with my niece. I hope everyone will have a wonderful year ahead,"
Ning Jing who smiled sweetly before the audience, took the envelope containing the results,
"The award goes to, Bai Jewels and Gems,"
As the head of the Jewellery business section of the Bai corporation, it was Bai Mo who went to collect the award.
"On this occasion, I want to thank our employees and customers for believing in us and we are extremely glad to announce that from the new year, Bai corporation's management is going to undergo a prominent change,"
"May I ask more about it?" Ning Zhao asked as a friendly gesture,
"To follow the latest trends in the business world, we are welcoming our youngest generation to be the part of Bai corporations and lead us to a greater tomorrow," Bai Mo declared with a cheerful face, "Is it okay if I call them over to the dais?"
"It will be an honor, sir," The host said,
"With everyone's permission, I would like to call our new directors over to the dais,"
Zhang Zhi Jun and Bai Yu stood up from their respective seats.
"Jie, you are not coming?" Bai Yu asked the woman who was applauding for her brothers.
"Me? For what?" Li Juan who was not aware of the whole situation asked in doubt,
"Come with us," Bai Yu took her hand and walked towards the stage along with Zhang Zhi Jun,
"Why Zhang Zhi Jun is with them?" The audience were curious, "Woahhh, who are these good looking people?"
The trio bowed before everyone and Bai Mo passed the microphone to Zhang Zhi Jun,
"Good evening everyone, I am Zhang Zhi Jun," He introduced himself with a smile, "but I have another name, I am Bai Jun, the eldest son of Bai family and these two are our new directors as well as my siblings,"
"Zhang Zhi Jun is from Bai family?" No one could believe it. He is young master of one of the top five corporation in the country.
Zhang Zhi Jun handed over the microphone to his brother for introduction,
"Good evening, I am Bai Yu," He quickly said and gave the microphone to his siter,
"Good evening everyone, I am Bai Yue Ling," Li Juan introduced herself with a pleasant smile,
The audience gaped in disbelief, this beauty belonged to Bai family? That too Zhang Zhi Jun's sister?
"We seek your blessings and wishes on our new venture. Thank you," Bai Mo thanked everyone and left the stage with the trio,
"Second uncle," As soon as Li Juan left the vicinity of the stage, called Bai Mo in confusion.
Bai Mo who understood the reason of his niece's puzzlement, patted her shoulder in appreciation,
"We are officially getting a separate division for the excavations and mining and father wants you to be the head of it," He said in high spirits,
"Congratulations," Bai Yu hugged his sister, "Director Bai Yue Ling,"
"You know it before?" Li Juan widened her eyes in disbelief. She had no idea about the new director position which is bestowed upon her.
"Of course, I knew it,"
Li Juan pursed her lips and was lost in thoughts,
She did promise her family that, she will join Bai corporation after her research, however, Bai Mo had announced it ahead of time,
"The next award is for the youngest achiever of the year and to felicitate the award, i would like to invite, the last year's recipient, Mr. Chen Hao,"
A handsome man in early thirties arrived at the stage and greeted the audience,
"The award goes to Tang Wei Sheng of the Tang Corporation, congratulations,"
Once the award was announced, Tang Wei Sheng strode towards the stage in an elegant gait,
"CEO Tang, first of all let me congratulate you for becoming the CEO of the largest conglomerate of the C country, can you express your views on winning such a title?" The host asked Tang Wei Sheng,
"Good evening one and all," He faintly smiled and continued, "Youngest achiever of the year, the CEO of the largest conglomerate of C country, these titles held a greater weight in my life. In order to achieve all these fame and wealth, i had to pay a hefty price. Rather than calling it as my own hard work, I would like to consider it as a collaborative effort of the entire Tang Corporations. So I would like to dedicate this award with every single employee of Tang corporations and to you, the reason of my happiness...without you, i won't be able to stand here, thanks for loving me..thanks for believing me when no one else did,"
He warmly smiled and got down from the stage,
Though he didn't mention about the person, everyone who know Tang Wei Sheng was well aware of the person who was the reason of his happiness,
His sweetheart.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
