    Summary

    He held A-Ling’s little body for hours, rocked him gently in his arms. He held A-Ling until the moment the late night inched into the next morning.

    This time, Jiang Cheng was awake when the world shifted. It took only seconds. The weight of his nephew vanished from his arms. The room around him warped, twisted, contracted.

    He opened his eyes, eyes he hadn’t closed, to morning light in his rooms at Golden Scale Tower.

    Yesterday. Again.
    -----
    There are many contenders for the worst day of Jiang Cheng's life.

    The Nightless City discussion conference has just won.

    And then he wakes up, and it hasn't happened yet. Jiang Cheng soon realizes that, against all odds, he's repeating one day, seemingly the only person who remembers the times before.

    Is it a curse? A second chance? A sick trick from a cruel spirit?

    Whatever the reason, one truth remains: Jiang Cheng has never been good at giving up, even when he can't seem to win.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng delicately touched the fabric in his hand, admiring the pattern on it. The robe was made of silk, purple and brown, and a series of silver flowers and stems decorated the darker parts of the garment. It was beautiful. He was definitely going to look good in t-

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The post-canon transmigratory Mingcheng fic -- featuring a beloved ensemble cast, OCs included (I LOVE YOU JIANG BOWEN) -- that I never knew I needed. Holy fuck the writing is immaculate. I cried for the first three chapters. I laughed throughout. From the premise to the fun&games, the whole thing is so well executed; plot points are consistent and well connected, characterization is thoughtful and satisfying. The slow burn romance pays off explosively holy shit. So much build up and pay off of tension... The author really knows what they're doing. NEED TO STUDY THIS FIC for how to write the real Good Shit. Pacing, POV switching with unreliable narrators, integration of canon and non-canon elements... I'm so impressed. First time I've been so emotionally invested in a while... I spent 18 hours of my day off not binging but SAVORINGGGG this thing. Holy fuck.

    Summary

    “They're all ours now,” He says softly.

     

    or

    Gyuvin's confession from last time weighs heavily on Gunwook's mind, he feels guilty for wanting it to happen again, but his boyfriend isn't so stressed.
