    Summary

    After getting lost in Ghost City, Xie Lian bargains away years of servitude to the Gambler’s Den to help a man in need. He dons the robes of a worker and hides his face and life behind an enchanted mask, protecting himself from the city's denizens. Xie Lian finds an unexpected home in Ghost City before he ever sees the lord of it, the infamous Hua Cheng. When he finally does, something about himself seems to catch the attention of the Ghost King, slowly striking up an unusual friendship. Xie Lian must figure out how to navigate his burgeoning feelings, how to keep his identity to himself, and how to get over a ghost so clearly in love with someone else.

    Summary

    Tim got used to it. The organized chaos. The chirping and cooing and occasional feathers in his coffee. The flock of doves following him around and nesting in his drawers. The murder of crows bringing him shiny trinkets and stealing his pens. It became his normal.

    For over a year and some change, the Nest felt full. Lively. Predictable, even.

    Until the day he came home from patrol, coffee in one hand, data chip in the other…

    …and found a raven sitting on his desk.

    Just—there. Like he owned the place.

    Staring.

    Silent.

    Still.

    Like a ghost.

    And Tim—Tim just blinked and said, "Okay. That's new."
