    Summary

    The rumor mill doesn’t understand Chu Wanning’s role in the imperial palace. He’s Taxian-jun’s personal tutor, some say—or a court musician, but the emperor forbids anyone from listening to his guqin performances. He’s a concubine, others say, isn’t that obvious? Look at the way he dresses, the way he’s kept like a pet. These particular rumors, though persistent in their reappearance, never seem to stay in circulation for long.

    They’re ridiculous, after all. Everyone knows Chu Wanning is an alpha.

    Summary

    Tadashi takes a bullet for the love of his life. Ainosuke gets a crash course in what love really is.

    Gone is the mask he usually wears in public. Those stupid eyebrows look stupider when they’re arched down like that. “Why are you lying there?” he’s asking now. “I told you to get up.”

    Tadashi tries to speak but his body fails him the most frustrating way. This had better kill him, he decides, or it is the most embarrassing way he could possibly have gone. The most useless. The most stupid. There are cameras, he realizes, distantly. This will be recorded. He can’t be this sad.

    Mustering every bit of agonized strength left in him, he lifts his arm, reaches, but his coordination is shot. He’s aiming for Ainosuke’s cheek but hits his lapel instead and grips it, because if he doesn’t, his arm will fall again.

    “Ainosuke,” he starts, tastes blood, stops. Ainosuke leans closer. “You really are stupid."

    Summary

    Tadashi has a secret. Ainosuke finds out and goes mad.

    But he only makes it two steps. Ainosuke is in front of him suddenly, breathing hard, hand fisted in the front of Tadashi’s white shirt.

    "All this time," he's saying, and the edges of his words are starting to lose their sense. He bows his head. His hair falls forward over his forehead so that when he looks up again his red now black eyes are shadowed by it. "All this time I could have had you."
