    Summary

    “Tell me what keeps you awake,” is not what Linguang-jun means to say—conversations devoid of artifice do not come naturally to him—but it slips out with bizarre ease in the dead of night, with Zhuzhi-lang's soft skin beneath his palm. He should be careful. No good can come of this sort of intimacy. He’s been burned before.

    Linguang-jun's new husband is having trouble sleeping.

    Summary

    Mo Ran’s mind goes blank, and he crumbles to the dirt, eyes transfixed on what’s left of his mother. He can’t think, can’t move, can’t breathe, all while above her, the thing starts to take shape, starts to look like, like… butterflies?

    A swarm of butterflies, a glint of silver reflected off their flowing swallowtail wings. 

    Mo Ran can only stare as the swarm swirls up, up, up, vaguely aware that it’s coming for him now, that he’s seconds away from joining his mother. 

    But he’s frozen, he’s stuck, he’s—

    The swarm lunges.

    Before all goes dark, Mo Ran sees a flash of blinding white. 

    Smells a sweet, flowery scent that will stay with him for the rest of his life.


    In which Mo Ran's search for his mother's killer, for his savior with the sweet fragrance, leads him to the discovery of a hidden world of demons.

    Summary

    Though reluctant to interrupt Xie Lian’s pampering, Hua Cheng snatches a cloth to scrub Xie Lian’s face with rapt care. Xie Lian scrunches up his nose as the soap threatens to make him sneeze.

    “San Lang, did you know you could use ropes in bed?” he drops offhandedly.

    Hua Cheng pauses. His eye doesn’t stray from the cloth, but he trembles imperceptibly. Xie Lian doubts it’s from the water getting cold.

    “Where did gege learn about that?”

    or, Xie Lian proposes something new, which is more than Hua Cheng bargained for.

    Summary

    Yunmeng Jiang is housing a retinue from Qinghe, here on diplomatic grounds. Among the people gathered here is Sect Leader Nie. Maybe that’s the reason why Jiang Cheng is restless - he can never keep himself still around that man.

    Jiang Cheng feels so stupid to act this way - as if wartime flings aren’t just a thing that happen sometimes - but how can he help it, when the last time they’d met, all those months ago during the Sunshot Campaign, Nie Mingjue had pressed kiss after aching kiss to his mouth, to his neck, to his shoulders?

    Jiang Cheng bites his lip and breathes out hard through his nose. He needs to work off some of this energy, before it comes back to bite him in the ass. Before he starts expecting things that weren’t meant for him in the first place.
