The peony painting was sold for 500,000 yuan. Jiang Yu handed it over to the buyer, a young man in his twenties who had the look of a nouveau riche. He was tall, sporting flashy gold chains on his hands and neck. Just sitting across from him, the overwhelming aura of wealth was impossible to […]
The rich colours easily reminded people of the murals in Dunhuang. Their hues were heavier and more restrained, carrying a subdued elegance. Jiang Yu was particularly fond of these rich colours, always feeling they held a sense of historical depth and mystery, as well as the beauty of time’s passage. After making all the necessary […]
Jiang Yu slept for an entire day and night. When she woke up the next day, it was already dark outside, and the bedroom was pitch black. Her mind felt sluggish, and for a moment, she couldn’t even tell how many days had passed. She heard voices outside. Sitting in bed in a daze for […]
The painting Feitian was undoubtedly the best artwork Jiang Yu had created since her rebirth. The entire piece was rich and vibrant in colour, giving off a luxurious and dazzling visual feast. The sheer brilliance of the colours was enough to leave people in awe, as if they were being mesmerised by an enchanting spectacle. […]
Jiang Yu was dragged around shopping by Cui Mingzhu the whole afternoon. What they did that day could be summed up in a single word: “buy.” They kept buying and buying! Not only did Cui Mingzhu buy things for herself, but also for Jiang Yu. Naturally, Jiang Yu tried to refuse, but when Miss Cui […]
Lu Mingyu carried Jiang Yu’s drawing board and led her toward his car. Walking behind him, Jiang Yu thought that although the two brothers looked alike, their personalities couldn’t have been more different, like night and day. “You’re really not much like your brother,” she said. Lu Mingyu replied, “My da ge… is he very […]
When dinner ended, it was barely seven o’clock. But now it was already eleven. The restaurant wasn’t far from where Jiang Yu lived, at most two hours by car, even with bad traffic. So… where did the other two hours go? Jiang Yu pressed her forehead, her cheeks burning. She could already guess: she must […]
The old man’s praise of Jiang Yu wasn’t really believed by the others. They all knew him too well. This old fellow was incredibly protective of his students. In his eyes, his own disciples were always “the best in the world,” so who knew how much bias was mixed into his words? Genius wasn’t omnipotent, […]
This was the first time Jiang Yu had ever tried a shooting game. As long as her bullets didn’t completely miss the target, she already considered it pretty good. In contrast, every single shot Lu Mingshen fired hit the bullseye dead centre – a hundred percent accuracy. His shooting movements were crisp and sharp, his […]
In the middle of the night, Jiang Yu was jolted awake by the ringing of her phone. Half-asleep, she fumbled to answer it. Before she could say a word, an excited voice on the other end started talking rapidly. Fu Gui? The name echoed once in her head. It sounded familiar… had she heard it […]
The snowy-white tangyuan [T/N: glutinous rice dumplings] were soft and chewy in texture, with black sesame filling inside. With just a light poke from the chopsticks, the dark sesame paste oozed out, its rich sweetness mingling with the unique fragrance of rice wine, forming a warmth that was even more comforting. These tangyuan had been […]
Ning shixiong and the others all knew Jiang Yu was remarkable. To be praised so highly by the old master, she was the first in so many years. But just how much of a genius she really was, none of them had a clear idea. Now, hearing that Feitian was painted by her, they were […]
A fake painting is, of course, a fake. Some people forge the works of famous artists to profit from them. Yet, to create a counterfeit so convincing it could be mistaken for the real thing, that also takes considerable skill. Although Jiang Yu devoted herself wholeheartedly to painting, in her previous life she had also […]
Not long after the New Year, Jiang Yu had to return to S City. School was starting again, and she couldn’t put it off. Since she’d be coming back again in March for the Colour Exhibition, the old master didn’t accompany her this time. At his age, such frequent back-and-forth travel wasn’t suitable. The day […]
“I heard you like Mr. Lu?” Teacher Shen’s tone was positively gossipy, and the sparkle in his eyes revealed his hunger for juicy details. No doubt, this rumor had come straight from Senior Sister Pang. Jiang Yu felt a headache coming on. She said earnestly, “I really don’t like Mr. Lu!” “Oh, oh.” Teacher Shen […]
