    Summary

    “You’re going to stay anyway.“

    It’s not a question. Both Feng Xin and Mu Qing have tried to convince him to join them in heaven but he won’t. Shi Qingxuan knows they have little chance of convincing him to eschew solitude, Xie Lian’s mind is not easily changed once he’s decided.

    “I need to be here when he comes back,” Xie Lian says, dropping the cherry back into the basket. He seems to have lost whatever appetite he had a moment ago. “I want him to know that I waited.”

    Summary

    Hua Cheng is very familiar with waiting. His patience and unwavering devotion has withstood over 800 years, and awarded him the greatest gift of receiving Xie Lian's love.

    After their fated reunion, Hua Cheng and his beloved spend their days together within beautiful Mount Taicang and rediscover how it felt to be in each other's arms. Though ravaged with unbearable desire every single day, Hua Cheng masterfully controls himself and - if it comes to it - can wait 800 more years for Xie Lian's permission to have him.

    But Xie Lian doesn't share that extent of immeasurable patience. Rather, he has a harder time holding back what he really wants...

    Summary

    “Oh,” he exhales. “You’re not in love with me anymore.”

    Hua Cheng seems to come to perfect stillness, somehow, improbably more so than he was before.

    Summary

    Xie Lian and Hua Cheng have been best friends since childhood, the one person Xie Lian could always depend on. After high school, Hua Cheng leaves, asking Xie Lian to come with him. Xie Lian declines, scared of holding him back. Hua Cheng visits, and Xie Lian is always happy to have him sleep on his couch, and sad to see him go. His feelings, a crush which has grown into unrequited love, stay hidden.

    Until Hua Cheng comes back to handle his father’s death, and everything changes.
    ______________________

    “Hua Cheng, here to see my father,” Hua Cheng said as they stepped up to the counter. Xie Lian stood close, their fingers brushing.
    “Oh,” the mortician said, nodding as he looked over at some papers. When he looked back up, his gaze landed on Xie Lian. “And he is?”
    “I’m Xie Lian,” he answered with a polite smile. The mortician frowned, looking over at Hua Cheng.
    “Only immediate family can come into the back with the deceased,” he said sharply. Hua Cheng’s brows rose, and then his left hand grabbed Xie Lian’s, their fingers tangling together.
    “He’s my husband,” Hua Cheng said, and Xie Lian felt like his knees might give out.
