    Summary

    Shooting Wreck a winning smile, Nice makes finger guns at him. His charm, even back then, is something else. Wreck remembers his face getting warmer and his hands beginning to sweat anew but not because of the strain the race took on him.

    “Good one,” Nice congratulates him, looping one arm over Wreck’s shoulders as though they've always been the closest friends. This, Wreck would later come to realize, heralded the beginning of the end.

    Or

    Wreck looks for ways to mend his broken heart.

    Summary

    For a brief moment, Lin Ling considers telling Nice about the office worker he saved today. But with the amount of weird people they meet on a daily basis, it’d be a drop of water on a hot stone. Barely worth mentioning. At most, it’d get a vague hum out of Nice, who seems far more interested in figuring out the cotton to polyester ratio of Lin Ling’s shirt with how insistently his fingers are toying with the hem of it. 

    Lin Ling shudders when a thumb accidentally grazes his hipbone. Nice pauses, then pulls his hand back in favour of resting his chin on Lin Ling’s shoulder, tightly securing his arms around Lin Ling’s waist once more.

    Hot breath fans against his neck. “Next time,” Nice murmurs, “let me know me when you’re late.”

    or: Already centre of one of the strongest hero's attention, Lin Ling manages to catch the interest of another.

    “Then why don’t you beat him up in the tournament, and then talk to him when he’s in the hospital?” Nice suggests, smiling as Lin Ling starts to smile at him. “Two birds with one stone”. 🤣

    Summary

    After her humiliating defeat at the 18th Hero Tournament, Queen—the nation's second-ranked hero—vanishes from the public eye.

    Locked in her room, she drowns her days in alcohol, crushed beneath the weight of failure. Until one night, desperate for another bottle, she encounters a quiet convenience store and the ordinary clerk who works its late shift.

    Lin Ling is plain, polite, and forgettable—yet there’s something in his gaze that refuses to look away. His kindness feels dangerous, his faith reckless, and against her will, she starts to hope again.

    In a world divided by titles and power, could a Commoner ever stand beside a Queen—or will the rules of the world tear them apart?
