    Summary

    Disillusioned by royal life, Prince Xie Lian has long realised that being the next king of Xianle is not the life he wants. His dreams of adventure and a world beyond the kingdom have always been too far from reach. But when desperation forces his hand and he flees from the life he's always known, Xie Lian gets a taste of all the things he's ever wanted. Learning the cruelty of the world and the joys of life at sea, the legend of Xie Lian the Pirate Prince soon spreads throughout the land.

    Xie Lian decides to take his crew on their biggest adventure to date, one so perilous that no pirate has ever succeeded. The path ahead is dangerous and with so little to go on, they race headlong into the unknown in search of the adventures Xie Lian has always craved. But the path they've chosen is not what it seems and the treasure Xie Lian finds is worth far more than gold or jewels. Finding new allies and learning to face the demons of his past, Xie Lian is propelled into a series of events that will force him to face his fears and learn the true meaning of freedom.

    And perhaps to believe in love again.

    Summary

    What greeted him was the sight of a tall stranger turned towards the stove, leaning down slightly to avoid hitting his head on the exhaust hood. He was deeply focused on tasting the dish from a spoon. Seemingly satisfied, he threw the spoon in the sink and swiftly made to turn around while licking some sauce off the base of his thumb. His eyes caught on Xie Lian standing awkwardly at the entrance and they made eye contact.

    Oh

    Or: Xie Lian has been in a deep depression ever since his life changed drastically when he was eighteen. He is forced to find a roommate and his life is unexpectedly turned upside down.

    Summary

    “I heard you got married.” San Lang says, all teasing gone, his voice even. “My congratulations.”

    Xie Lian wishes his wedding was less public, but Jun Wu wanted to “do everything right”. If he knew back then how many times he’ll have to fake a smile and accept congratulations he would stand his ground.

    San Lang’s congratulations sound more like condolences, for some reason. Xie Lian doesn’t ask, but doesn't bother to smile either.

    “Thank you.” He says.
