    There is a long silence. Not for the first time, Lan Wangji wishes he himself were an oracle so he could run the thousand simulations he is keeping like bees in his mouth, and see which one lands.

    I am sorry. I did not know. They told me you were executed. I watered your plants.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian would have thought that the dragon’s voice would rattle the trees, shake the earth with its force. Instead, his voice is small and a little raspy. He speaks slowly, as if it is difficult to speak at all.

    “I accept....your offer,” he says painfully. “You know....the price? No leaving...until this season comes again...do you understand?”

    Wei Wuxian doesn’t feel fully in his body as he nods. “Yes.”

    ---

    Increasingly desperate, Wei Wuxian turns to unconventional means to help the Wens. If one can call trading away a year of his life to live in a secluded estate with a mountain spirit 'unconventional'. Or, the 'east of the sun, west of the moon' one.

    Summary

    “I’m not here to help you with your work,” said Lan Zhan, injecting frost into his voice to deter any further attempts at charm. “I’ll be focusing on my research.”

     

    Wei Ying cocked his head. “Research?” he said.

     

    “Mm. I’m a cultivation researcher, not a department employee. I’m reconstructing the ancient musical cultivation techniques of the Lan clan.”

     

    ___

    Lan Zhan’s new liaison at the Caiyi Municipal Cultivation Department is an enigma – ridiculously talented, yet somehow content with mopping up spiritual pests for barely above minimum wage. Wei Ying is slapdash and irresponsible, and Lan Zhan doesn’t like him at all… but then he meets A-Yuan, who loves music and longs for a piano his father can’t afford.

    Forced into cautious friendship by a four-year-old's music lessons, Lan Zhan soon realises Wei Ying is more than he seems. The single father is a man of many secrets – including, perhaps, the key to Lan Zhan's life's work. And in the meantime, the background resentment in Caiyi Town is rising to dangerous levels…

    Summary

    “You want to go on a date with me,” Xue Yang says, obviously not quite believing it.

    “Yes.”

    “Liar. You don’t want to go on a date with someone who just cried on you about his fucked up childhood and acts like a baby in front of you. You’re a fucking liar.”

    “Xue Yang,” Song Lan says. “You’re an adult, and I like you. I want to go on a date with you.”

    “Liar,” he repeats. “Prove it. Kiss me. Right now. On the mouth. With tongue. And then maybe I’ll believe you.”

    Xue Yang isn’t expecting Song Lan to actually do it.

    After accidentally regressing in front of Song Lan, Xue Yang struggles to understand that his age regression and romantic life can coexist.

    Summary

    It’s been eight years since Song Lan’s relationship with Xiao Xingchen ended. He’s moved on--in the sense that he now lives in a different city, working as a pastry chef in a different restaurant, and only thinks about his ex once or twice a week, at most.

    But then Xiao Xingchen is hired as the front-of-house manager at his new restaurant, and suddenly Song Lan finds himself thrown together with not only Xingchen, but Xingchen’s boyfriend, the head cook in the tackiest food truck Song Lan’s ever heard of. It’s a recipe for disaster… or is it?
