    Summary

    Sixteen years ago, Jiang Cheng made a deal with Jin Guangyao: in exchange for the right to raise Jin Ling in Lotus Pier, he would willingly submit to sharing his bed whenever called upon. For years, Jiang Cheng kept his end of the bargain in silence, enduring the shame of their encounters without a word to anyone. Now that Jin Guangyao is dead, Jiang Cheng should finally be free to move on with his life, but a shock discovery about his nephew throws his world into disarray again.

    Then Jin Ling invites him on a family bonding night-hunt, and Jiang Cheng reluctantly agrees to go—little knowing that his decision will threaten to reveal his darkest secrets to the last people in the world he ever wanted to know.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng is, all things considered, relatively content with his life. There are of course some days that are harder than others. Days where he still longs for approval from his long dead parents. Nights where he wishes his sister was still here to tell him how to calm Jin Ling's cries. Hours where the darkness in his room curls its icy fingers into his mind solely to remind him that he's so so alone.

    On the daily though, he's relatively content. Almost happy, even. Raising one nephew and frequently babysitting the other, mending his relationship with Wei Wuxian, and drowning his sorrows in piles and piles of work. It's a simple life, but since he can't have what he lost, he supposes this is the next best thing.

    𓂃☁︎ 𓂃 ࿆ 𓂃☁︎ 𓂃
