    Summary

    Finally, Xie Lian dared to ask, "You're heading out again…?"

    "No, I just got home," Hua Cheng licked his lips, staring plainly at Xie Lian's mouth as he asked, "But I'm sure gege has somewhere to be."

    "I don't," Xie Lian admitted, still processing the information.

    He had nowhere to be. Neither did Hua Cheng. The tension between them grew as they fell silent, staring at each other. After a month apart, Xie Lian was almost afraid he was dreaming. If he touched Hua Cheng, would he disappear into a sea of butterflies? But the tension only grew. The air was thick with it until, finally, all resolve snapped under the weight of a ghost king and a god's unrelenting desire, and they lunged at each other like starved wolves.

    --

    After spending so much time apart, Xie Lian finds himself overcome by an unrelenting lust. Thankfully, his husband is all too happy to oblige in every request he might have. No matter how long it takes.

    Summary

    As a flower god, Xie Lian has always enjoyed the calm solitude of nature, even if it means his fellow deities view him as a strange loner. During one of his leisurely walks on a chilly spring day, he encounters a small red flower that immediately catches his attention. After taking the flower to his home shrine on a moment's whim, Xie Lian's fondness for it starts growing deeper — and eventually, his affections are returned as he finds out those beautiful red petals are inhabited by the soul of a flower spirit...

    Summary

    After years of wandering, a place to call his own, even temporarily, felt like a blessing. But the repairs were endless. The roof leaked, the walls creaked with the slightest breeze, and firewood was always running low.

    Just as he was preparing to haul the load back to the shrine, a voice cut through the stillness, startling him.

    “Gege, let me help you. You live up at the shrine, right?”

    Xie Lian nearly dropped the logs in surprise, spinning around to find a young man standing behind him, dressed in a striking red robe that almost seemed to glow in the fading light and hair as black as ink.

    //Xie Lian, an omega who had more than a decade in exile and without presenting a heat, unexpectedly meets a young alpha, and things change for him.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng often thinks about the worry lines which mar Xie Lian’s face; a haunting shadow left behind by his beloved’s eight hundred years of torment.

    However, he notes that these lines fade when Xie Lian sleeps.

    Over time, Hua Cheng gradually develops a fascination with Xie Lian’s sleeping form, and with it, a desire that he is determined to never vocalize or act on.

    Until Xie Lian comes to him with a proposition, and Hua Cheng is forced to reconcile with desires he discovers are more than purely physical.

    ——

    Reaching out to rub Xie Lian’s belly, Hua Cheng chuckled, “Having a nice dream?”

     

    “Mm…”

    “It's okay if you don't—” Hua Cheng started.

    “I do! God, I want it so much. I don't want you thinking that I don't. I—I think about it all the time, San Lang.”

    Hua Cheng looks pleased, the tops of his cheekbones flushing to match his red shirt, and his thumb strokes the back of Xie Lian's hand.

    “What do you think about, gege?”

    --

    Xie Lian seeks a lesson in desire. And another. And another.

    Summary

    In the heart of the Inner Palace, where every whisper can become poison and alliances are sealed with lies, a young woman named Hua Xuelan appears on the scene, a refined lady, daughter of the noble Lakan, fragile and educated... or at least that’s what the court believes.

    But behind that false name hides Maomao, a former maid with knowledge of medicine and poisons, now turned into the fiancée of the influential Moon Prince. A union arranged by the Council to ensure an heir of imperial blood.

    They share the political game, but not all the truths, and although both try to keep their hearts safe, danger doesn’t always come in the form of knives or poison... sometimes, it dresses as affection and slips between the sheets.

    She doesn’t want to stop being herself.
    He doesn’t know how to love her without breaking her.
    And both are trapped in a lie that, if discovered, could cost them everything..

    Unable to pay the rent, even his heating has broken and the bathroom faucet is leaking; Xie Lian is in desperate need of money.

    What better idea than to open an account on an adult site and upload content, however, there is a problem. He's too prudish, so he hasn't billed as much as he would have liked. So, he needed to do something about it.

    That’s why they are here now, currently face to face on the soft crimson sheets of his best friend, Hua Cheng, king-size bed and Xie Lian’s legs on each side of his hips. A camera recording beside them.

    I was listening to Kenshi Yonezu's "Lemon" and the phrase "Can't make my way home 'til the rain lets up" reminded me of this. The lyrics have a completely different connotation though…
    Already a complete JinMao brain. (T∀T)

    It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

    Xie Lian has a plan.


    “Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
    His voice caught.
    “I mean, to—”
    Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
    “As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”

    Summary

    Left alone in Puqi Shrine with Hua Cheng, Xie Lian can't help but acknowledge how nice it is to be with someone who was genuinely interested in him. It felt so very good to be wanted, to be important to just one person for who he was rather than what he was. After so many years of loneliness left him aching and empty from more than just an barren well of spiritual energy, he decides to be bold for the first time in centuries and makes an offer.

    To his surprise, Hua Cheng jumps at the chance to give his gege what he needs.
