    Summary

    Linguang-Jun ruins everything. He always does; it is his habit. When Mobei Li was eight he found some way, bribes, threats, or blackmail, to convince his tutor to attempt to put a knife through his back; he stopped attending lessons. When he was ten, he poisoned his favorite food, leading him to be terribly ill and nearly lose his life; he stopped eating it. When he was sixteen, he poisoned his horse in the presumed hope that it would buck him off and trample him during its death throes; he stopped riding horses.

    The need for caution and survival dictates that he must cover every weakpoint, close off any avenue for another underhanded attempt at his life. Shaving his life smaller and smaller, making himself silent and unreadable, never betraying a preference or inclination that might be noted and exploited. The only way to avoid having the things he likes most used against him and thus ruined is to avoid showing that he likes them at all.

    Mobei-Jun overhears a conversation between his uncle and his servant.

    Summary

    Everything is taken care of, and it would be for the best if Mobei-Jun could carry the child-- but he cannot. 

    He cannot. 

    “The inherited mantle of power of the Northern Desert King would be far too strong for any unborn child to bear,” one of the elders repeats to him. “We have had kings before who have attempted to bear children themselves, but it always ends in miscarriage. It is to the king to sow their seed and for the queen to carry. Which is why the venerable Mobei-Jun should acquire himself a strong, well-bred wife who can--” 

    He stops listening to them once they start giving him useless advice again.

    The Mobei Clan needs an heir, but SOMEONE'S got to do the hard work of carrying the damned thing...

    Summary

    Lucifer is only a shadow of his former self. His captivity has left scars far deeper than any blade could carve, and no one seems to notice—least of all Charlie, who is consumed by the hotel and her mother’s expectations. While she rises higher, he keeps slipping further.

    Alastor, however, notices every change. The Devil who once argued, mocked, and sparked against him has fallen silent—and that silence infuriates Alastor more than he’ll ever admit. After all, what is life in the hotel without his favorite source of entertainment?

    One impulsive night throws everything off balance. Lucifer wants nothing more than to forget, unaware of the inescapable mark Alastor has left within him. Suddenly he faces a truth that threatens to shatter what little stability he has left—and pulls the Radio Demon dangerously close to his heart, closer than either of them ever intended.
