The next day, when Jiang Yu arrived at the studio, Teacher Shen asked her about this matter. “I heard from Master that you painted a portrait of the 108 Heroes of Liangshan for someone?” she inquired. Jiang Yu touched her nose and nodded. “Yes.” Teacher Shen nodded but immediately followed up with another question. “I […]

The midterm exam results came out quickly. After the exams, the teachers worked overtime to grade the papers. For Jiang Yu and her classmates in their second year of high school, it wasn’t too bad, but for the third-year students, the results were released the very next day. By noon, a large stack of test […]
Jiang Yu was a breath of fresh air among the art students, a rarity among them. Since they had to study two subjects, most students focused on one, as trying to excel in both often meant mastering neither. However, Jiang Yu was an exception. She had excellent academic performance and her talent for painting was […]
Jiang Yu obediently called out “Master,” immediately bringing a smile to the old master’s face, his expression full of joy. A tall middle-aged woman behind the old master laughed and said, “Ever since he accepted shimei, he’s been so happy. Every time we visit, he can’t help but mention it. I never expected our shimei […]
Teacher Shen had heard about Jiang Yu’s grades from Teacher Hu. Back then, Teacher Hu had said that this student’s performance was ‘not bad’, but Teacher Shen had assumed that ‘not bad’ was only in the context of an art student’s standards. Not to mention, Jiang Yu’s grades had recently plummeted and Teacher Hu had […]
Teacher Shen knew a little about Jiang Yu’s family situation. She was an orphan found and taken in by Grandma Jiang, who raised her single-handedly.

After finishing the last afternoon class, Jiang Yu was ready to head home. She figured she could get some food, then work on her painting for another two or three hours. At this pace, it wouldn’t be long before Shen Zhiwei received her painting. As she walked out of the classroom with Xu Ruyi, Jiang […]
Once the painting of Grandma Jiang had dried, Jiang Yu carefully placed it inside a long wooden box and stored it in a cabinet with great reverence. So much time had passed that she thought she had forgotten what Grandma Jiang looked like. But as she painted, she realised that wasn’t the case. Even if […]
Yu Bing was wearing a white down jacket, her lips pale. She looked thinner than the last time Jiang Yu had seen her and her presence felt even more cold and aloof. Her complexion didn’t look good either. Jiang Yu frowned as she saw her and asked, “Yu Bing, you don’t look well. Are you […]
Jiang Yu had already decided on what to paint for the competition. It was inspired by the sanitation worker she had seen that morning on her way to class. The overall colour tone of the painting was dark. A single streetlamp cast a warm orange glow, illuminating the falling snow. Beneath the light stood the […]
Shen Zhiwei wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about calligraphy and painting, but she had seen enough to have a general understanding. As a child, she was physically weak and had to stay indoors, so the only thing she could do was read. She finished reading the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature early on. Among them, […]
Pang shijie’s gallery was located on a well-known art street in B City. Of course, that wasn’t its official name, but since the area was filled with music stores and galleries, people jokingly referred to it as the ‘Art Street’. This street was never particularly crowded, no matter the time of day. Now that winter […]
Mr. Liu was a collector of calligraphy and paintings, but he typically favoured famous works. To be honest, he had no interest in paintings by newcomers. To outsiders, all paintings might look similar, but those with real knowledge understood the depth of the art. A painting had to possess both craftsmanship and artistic conception and […]
Shen Zhiwei was a picky person and someone who believed in intuition. The moment she saw Jiang Yu’s paintings, she knew this person could paint the Liangshan heroes she had envisioned.

The two senior brothers had completely different personalities, one was cold and aloof, while the other was warm and gentle. However, whether it was the indifferent Ning shixiong or the gentle Han shixiong, both treated Jiang Yu with kindness. Their meticulous care and consideration were genuine, not something that could be faked. “Where’s Du Song? […]
The next day, Jiang Yu and her companions were set to return home. Their flight was at noon, so Ning shixiong and Han shixiong took them out for a meal before escorting them to the airport. After seeing them off, Ning shixiong and Han shixiong headed back. “Have you looked into it? Why would Rong […]
Jiang Yu quickly responded to Shen Zhitang, agreeing to collaborate with him. However, she had her own conditions. No showing her face, no other distractions, just painting during the livestream. It was obvious that such a broadcast wouldn’t be particularly exciting, but for Jiang Yu, this was enough. She wanted more people to see her […]
