March 24th, yet another ordinary day.
As the sun set in the west, Jiangnan City lit up with a dazzling array of colors. Even while on duty at the Ministry of Personnel, the bright skyline was visible.

Even the Mouse Monk received many invitations to gatherings, be it from the assistant minister of a prestigious family or a noble young master wanting to 'get acquainted.'
